Bonnie Honig, a political theorist and feminist at Brown University, underscores the vital role of civil disobedience in democracy, particularly against the backdrop of Donald Trump's presidency. In her discussions, she points to the importance of grassroots resistance movements and small protests, emphasizing their necessity in countering the rising authoritarianism. Honig notes the underreporting of such actions in mainstream media and urges communities to unite in their efforts. Her work addresses public institutions' role in shaping identity and examines the post-Trump landscape for feminist movements.

There is already some legal resistance underway... in the U.S., politics is very centered on laws.
