Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

This is how it's done.

A strong and principled response by WilmerHale to the illegal Executive Order attack - a form of attempted government intimidation declared unconstitutional by a federal judge.

No one in the arts should stand for this. If you’re on an NEA panel this year, it’s time to resign. If you’ve recently been awarded a grant, you should turn it down. And you should do it as publicly as possible.

Since the law of the land is no longer in force - let's flood Trump's new administration with new hires that say they will but(shhh) secretly won't follow his agenda).
