Ok, Twitter Fam, all of this is happening very fast, which means we need fast responses.

We need to come to grips with the fact that this is where we are right now.

This is real.

So let's start coming up with meaningful plans to counter it all.

Here's my first thought: Start going as low tech as you can.

Start creating actual paper trails.

Think about writing checks again, so you have cancelled checks as records.

Start memorizing some phone numbers again.

Get a damn corded landline.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying toss your cell in the ocean and go off the grid.

I'm saying have low tech back-ups and printed records of anything you do online.

We need to remember that the French Resistance did not have Twitter.

Operators on the Underground Railroad could not FaceTime each other.

Paul Revere was unable to Periscope his warning.

They still got shit done.

Martin Luther didn't email his Ninety-Five Thesis to his bishop. He went down to the church and nailed it to the door.

He made his point without Google's help.

And so must we.

Be peaceful. Be smart.

And remember, not a single Viking used GPS coordinates.
