I'll leave specific tactics to others, who will have to weigh Trump's demonstrable willingness to break the law (gleefully) and to deploy armed goons to back up his cruelty, indifference, and narcissism.
The counter-measures I am actively contemplating tend toward long-term cultivation of counter-power via new forms of organizing: https://seizethemeans.communitarium.org/baslow/tag:thecommunitariumproject

@baslow And I am focused on the even longer-termed goal that must be achieved before your admirable goal of community organizing can be achieved: reforming #education in the #UnitedStates.
Because stupid people cannot distinguish a beneficial community organization from a detrimental one.

They are deeply related goals. Education has no purchase in the absence of effective community in which we employ, test, revise and reinterpret what we believe we know.
I remember a lecture half a century ago by a sociolinguist who had to tell the Irish government that classroom Gaelic wouldn't revive the language until you could order a pint in Gaelic at the local pub.

Take seriously these immature but dangerous pathological fascist dystopians!!! These people are SICK!
There are more of us than them. Not only in #NY, but across the U.S. and beyond its borders.
It's up to #PeoplePower, #InternationalPeoplePower, #humanrights #lawyers, #protests, #boycotts, etc to stop this bullshit!
