Next time coming back into the USA, I’ll post to friends my emergency contacts: family, friend TV journalist, and immigration lawyer with my arrival time. I’ll post notifying arrival when I do. If I don’t post within half a day, friends can get in touch with my contacts. Everyone should do the same.

If, for example, Trump says nobody is allowed to dance, on penalty of death, he has no legal power to make that declaration and no power to enforce it, but if everyone stops dancing it's as good as if he did. Reporting as though Trump has these powers helps give him those powers.
