Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

If the Trump Administration can deport and imprison Mr. Garcia without due process or valid evidence, then they can do it to you too. Until Donald Trump is out of office, no one is safe. #FreeGarcia #DefendtheRepublic #ImpeachTrump #ResistanceUnited www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oir7...

Elected officials across America are canceling town halls, dodging questions, and barricading themselves from the very people who put them in office. A revealing new op-ed explains why they can ignore you and still comfortably keep their jobs: www.al.com/politics/202...

I keep coming back to the insanity of this statement from an ICE official, which would sound like something out of 1984 except lacks Orwell's sense of irony and self-awareness www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

An explanation from @schiff.senate.gov on the corrupt dismissal of NYC Mayor Eric Adam’s federal criminal case: #DefendtheRepublic #ImpeachTrump #ResistanceUnited youtu.be/QIPhd0jKTuc?...

The dismissal of NYC Mayor Adam’s corruption case marks a sad day for our country. Of the 7 prosecutors that previously resigned in protest, 2 accused Emil Bove of setting up a “Quid pro quo” agreement. This case is not an anomaly. Our Republic is under attack. www.reuters.com/world/us/nyc...

Yesterday morning, JD Vance falsely described the man mistakenly deported to El Salvador as "a convicted member of MS-13." He has never been convicted of anything--but the White House brazenly doubled down. www.thebulwark.com/p/wakeup-cal...

The election of @crawfordforwi.bsky.social is a huge step towards preserving the rule of law in our country. It's not about left vs right. It's about fighting corruption. Rejecting oligarchs. Denouncing authoritarianism or anything like it. It's about protecting our Republic from Donald Trump.

Truly proud to see @booker.senate.gov standing up against the Trump administration's attack against our Constitution and the rule of law. Just a few hours left before setting the record! Give some of it a watch. Don't feel bad if you can't watch the full 22+ hours! www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2ut...

As he began speaking on the Senate floor Monday night, Cory Booker said that he intended to disrupt “the normal business of the Senate for as long as I am physically able,” citing his belief that “our nation is in crisis.” He wasn’t kidding. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

@warren.senate.gov Despite any policy differences, I have immense respect for you. You recently talked about the importance of "grass roots" movements with people organizing in their communities. I hear you. But WE, THE PEOPLE, need a MESSAGE to rally around. Will you stand with @booker.senate.gov?

The issues with this comparison: When you choose to remodel a house, you are making that decision based on YOUR OWN FUNDS AND PROPERTY GOALS based on personal investment strategies. The proper analogy is someone destroying your house and then you having to pay for it… without the means to do so.

The Trump admin is threatening to pull funding from schools with curriculums that discuss race and prosecute those who don't comply with their new policy. We filed a motion on behalf of a coalition of educators to pause implementation while we take the matter to court. bit.ly/43SmJ91

We sued the Trump administration today to force transparency for the $900 million in education research grants that were suddenly cancelled. The admin cannot continue to dodge accountability. It must comply with the Freedom of Information Act and provide answers to the American people.

Trump said he may run for a third term. I’m not joking. I know this because he said he is “NOT joking.” Can someone explain to me how this isn’t a violation of the oath he took to the Constitution? I’m waiting.

DO YOU STAND FOR TRUTH? The truth does not care about your beliefs, feelings, opinions, or values. It is Uncompromising. Absolute. Pure. Get out of your media bubbles. Expose your own blind spots. Open your mind. Embrace cognitive dissonance to GROW. STAND FOR TRUTH. OUR REPUBLIC depends on it.
