I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Trump promised voters he had nothing to do with Project 2025 while he was campaigning. He lied. 36 of his first week executive orders were ripped straight out of the Project 2025 playbook. Pay attention.

There is so much right now. You can't do everything. But you don't have to. There are a lot of us and we are going to share the load. We make progress together. Ask yourself honestly: what can I do to help TODAY? Then do it. Tomorrow, try to do a little more. You got this. ❤️👊

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

All month long, we’re shining a light on Black voices leading the way for representation. This year, @cynthiaerivo was just one of many Black actors who left their mark on the industry, reminding us that everyone, no matter their skin color, deserves the chance to fly. ✨ #BlackHistoryMonth
