The Persistence. Resistance is not enough. People who really want government to work for, by, and of the people need a plan that relentlessly focuses on how to make most people’s lives better.

The CDC invests 80% of its annual domestic budget in states, tribes, and communities—not D.C. bureaucrats. Eliminating this support will impact every person in the country. In 2023 alone, $4.7 billion in grants supported health departments, hospitals, universities, and nonprofits across the country.

No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

You all know Trump’s coup never stopped, right? Since Jan 6, Trump has been trying to overthrow the USA government. Now he’s involved the US Marines. We must show up loudly yet peacefully to stop him #NoKings m.youtube.com/watch?v=DXnH...

What an insult to the U.S. Army to be forced into a wasteful display of vanity. How about use $45 million to improve military housing, prevent Veteran Suicide, or support veterans post-service?!? #MAGAFraudWasteAbuse

The LA protests will trigger a drumbeat of "law and order" messaging from the White House and their media allies as a prelude to invoking the Insurrection Act. This is entirely predictable, and any Dem or media outlet that facilitates this narrative will be aiding Trump's authoritarian project.

18 "emergency" SCOTUS filings in 5 months? Bit much, IMO. This administration treats emergencies like my dog treats the UPS truck - everything's a crisis. What urgent matters would your pets escalate to the Supreme Court? Use #PawstitutionalCrisis #petexcuseme www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Now, more than ever, silence in the face of injustice may feel safe, but it also increases the odds that most of us will no longer have the option to speak up in the future.
