To expedite and strengthen effective resistance to the Trump Administration’s unlawful, unjustified, counterproductive, and unpopular policies, I offer this post as a call to action for those in a position to help operationalize Professor Timothy Snyder’s proposal for a “Shadow Cabinet.” Such a body could provide the moral clarity, strategic coordination, and disciplined messaging needed to counter Mr. Trump’s increasingly dangerous agenda. I do not wish to appear antidemocratic or to stifle the diverse voices of the anti-Trump resistance—on the contrary, this moment demands a broad and inclusive popular movement. But there is, as the saying goes, a reason cats cannot be herded. Without some structure, coherence, and leadership, the energy of resistance risks being dissipated rather than directed.
