What resistance? Where are the national leaders? Where’s the courage? #Resist #Anti-Fascist #Democracy

Trump needs to be removed from office and his DOGE brownshirts all need to be arrested. Democrats need to start saying it and socializing the idea. How it happens is something to discuss later. But people need to start calling for his removal. He is a clear and present danger to U.S. interests.

It’s sad how accurate this is. 🎯 Democrat leaders! We need ACTIVISTS right now NOT politicians. WE elected you. You work for us. And we want you to DO SOMETHING‼️‼️ 💥 Lead a protest! 💥 Hold town halls in red districts! 💥 Amplify our grassroots protest and boycotts! 💥 Be louder! Make GOOD TROUBLE‼️

"They have borrowed directly from Nazi sources to make the very same points that the Nazis were making. They understand very well that the way to establish a form of government that is not bound by law or reason is to declare a state of emergency."

Fascists don't care if you wear pink outfits or hold up placards. Where are the real leaders of a resistance? Who will take off the gloves? "He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue." #Resist #Democracy #Opposition #Anti-Fascist

What the fuck is this feckless shit? This is resistance? This is speaking truth to power? We are fucking cooked...

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did on J6

I wrote a short explainer for my Substack of the biggest (but strangely under the radar) corruption of the Trump White House: the Trump crypto coin. A conduit for secret, shameless bribery of the President. www.chrismurphyct.com/p/trumps-big...

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip: He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress. He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession. He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law. Keep fighting.

❌NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE US❌ We have been raised to believe our voices don't matter but they DO! WE hold the power‼️ We need 3.5% of us-11 MILLION people to fucking care enough! 💥Go to the marches! 💥Call your Senators! 💥Boycott! 💥Be loud! The time to show up is now. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

AARP has created an easy way to contact your lawmakers and tell them Social Security must be protected. Learn more.👇

Okay, guys, writing and calling your Congressional representatives isn't going to be enough this time. We must find a way to attend town halls, participate in protests, organize marches, and plan national boycotts. It only takes 3.5% of us to spark a revolutionary change. LFG. #USDemocracy

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

Good to see SCOTUS uphold foreign aid, but this headline (like the dissenting justices) misses the point. It is Congress, not a judge, who is requiring payment. Court is applying the law and Constitution to prevent Trump from defying Congress!

Tariffs on their own do not create more American jobs or lead to more US production. In fact, Trump's last trade war cost roughly 300,000 jobs. All these tariffs will do is give corporations cover to jack up prices and pad their profits at our expense.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

🐓 💩 ⁦‪GOP‬⁩ leaders don’t want to hear what their constituents have to say, so they’ve advised stopping all town hall meetings. So, what are we to do? 1. Call them at (202) 224-3121 2. Text Congress to 50409 3. Text GO TIZZY1 to 50409 4. Use 5calls.org www.huffpost.com/entry/republ...

If the Trump-Musk agenda is so popular, why are Republicans hiding from their constituents? Keep fighting. Keep calling. Keep showing up. Keep causing good trouble.

Steve Levitsky gives the canonical answer about whether defending democracy is the right answer electorally for Democrats - that can't be the question. *Society* has to defend democracy and the Constitution, or they could cease to exist. nymag.com/intelligence...
