  We propose a new strategy to directly detect light particle dark matter that
has long-ranged interactions with ordinary matter. The approach involves
distorting the local flow of dark matter with time-varying fields and measuring
these distortions with shielded resonant detectors. We apply this idea to
sub-MeV dark matter particles with very small electric charges or coupled to a
light vector mediator, including the freeze-in parameter space targeted by low
mass direct detection efforts. This approach can probe dark matter masses
ranging from 10 MeV to below a meV, extending beyond the capabilities of
existing and proposed direct detection experiments.
