Vanguard and Fidelity are now blocking Americans from donating to a non-profit organization, the Southern Poverty Law Center, because of an obviously fake indictment by the Trump "Justice" Department. This is what fascism looks like. We need to push back hard every time something like this happens.

I reject the authoritarian, kleptocratic corruption of our country by Donald Trump and his cronies, and their assault on the American economy, land, people, and American dream, and I will work every day to weaken them and bring a new birth of freedom, justice, security and prosperity for the US.

Remember- All these men were prosecuted by @TheJusticeDept during Trump's first term: Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, Rick Gates -because they committed crimes. No innocent Trump enemies were prosecuted in those years. @AGPamBondi is an absolute disgrace.

The reason Jim Jordan, despite his horrid views on the issues, provided some degree of procedural fairness in the Bondi hearing, is because he knows in 11 months he will be in the minority, and @RepRaskin will have more power over him than Trump will.

Donald Trump, not any Democrat, was the one who tried to cheat in the 2020 Georgia election -- that's on tape and backed with the testimony of numerous Republicans. No judge should allow any kind of takeover of Fulton County or any other place in Georgia.

It's critical to end the violent assault on MPLS+other cities, so I get the strategy of giving Trump room to distance himself from Bovino, maybe even Noem+ Miller. But truth: the person responsible for the hateful fascist violence of this govt is the vile criminal Donald J. Trump.

The Trump "compact" would require colleges that agree to commit to freezing tuition for 5 years. Freezes or caps are often proposed as a solution to college affordability. 🧵 Why is this a misguided solution that might actually lead to lower- and middle-income students and families paying *more*?

Media outlets said no to Hegseth's anti-freedom, anti-truth policy. Universities are saying no to Trump's anti-freedom, anti-truth "compact." Solidarity is the only way to weaken the Trump attacks on freedom, truth, justice, and democracy.
