The way forward, the resistance, the way out of the fever dreams of the Fourth Reich, is the absolutely justified and relentless prosecutions of state crimes in state court.
Make the Trump administration feel afraid to leave DC. Issue court summons that could be served anywhere, at anytime, to get sworn testimony in court, and possibly additional charges. Put the Trump Administration under siege for their many crimes.

Focus protests and political power on getting state police and prosecutors to stand up, redirect resources spent for decades on harassing the poor and minorities, and investigate, arrest, and prosecute feds committing crimes in their jurisdictions.
Violations of civil rights are federal charges subject to Trump pressure. Harassment, destruction of property, assault, and murder are state charges. Secure state charges and covictions first. Do not let bias federal judges rule first.

Protesting is wonderful and important, but fascists won't stop committing crimes because of your clever signs, they only seek a way to identify, silence, and discredit you.
Focus power on your local governments that are not infiltrated with fascist collaborators.
Anarchy only hurts your neighbors and radicalizes them against the resistance. We have 50 state governments legally able to arrest these criminals for legitimate crimes.
THIS IS THE WAY FORWARD, OUT OF THIS NIGHTMARE
"In Texas, a migrant died in ICE custody at an immigration detention facility. Witnesses say his final words were 'I can’t breathe' as five ICE officers placed their body weight on him. A medical examiner is expected to rule the death a homicide. In Minneapolis, a six-month-old baby was rushed to the hospital after ICE agents tear-gassed the family’s vehicle."

"Nearby, ICE officers ate at a local Mexican restaurant, then followed workers after their shifts ended and detained them.
This is the reality of America today."

"The death of a man who was being held at a federal detention camp in Texas in early January may be investigated as a homicide after the local medical examiner reportedly found the preliminary cause was 'asphyxia due to neck and chest compression'."

"In a recording reviewed and first reported on by the Washington Post, the El Paso county’s office of the medical examiner reportedly told a member of Lunas Campos’s family that the office was preparing to classify the death as a homicide, subject to results of a toxicology report."
"At around 3 p.m. Wednesday, four Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents showed up for lunch at a small, family-owned Mexican restaurant, El Tapatio, in Willmar, Minnesota. They took a booth and apparently enjoyed their meal—though staff at the restaurant appeared 'frightened,' according to a witness who spoke to the Minnesota Star-Tribune."
