I remain vigilant and careful, but part of what you're seeing here is that the wave of EOs is to appease the base. A lot of these EOs, including the ones not related to immigration, are simply untenable. They have not been thoroughly vetted by the different Cabinet-level departments and are being signed to give the appearance of executive action while leaving the "dirty work" to the various agencies that will have a hell of a time trying to implement:

"President Donald Trump’s team took little effort to consult with federal agency lawyers or lawmakers as they churned out executive actions this week, stoking fears the White House is creating the appearance of real momentum with flawed orders that may be unworkable, unenforceable or even illegal."
This does not mean that we should not be careful about our actions. Stay out of trouble. Don't do anything stupid. But we also need to keep moving forward. I understand the frustration and anxiety here, but it has reached a fever pitch such that it's quite literally paralyzing people from being productive and excelling at work - the number one thing we can control at this point given all the uncertainty.
