Trump is trying to create chaos and confusion around the midterms. Our job is to deny him the fear and cynicism he needs.

As a scientist, educator, and legislator, Dr. Jasmine Clark has taken on GOP extremism head-on, defending abortion access, voting rights, public health and accountable government even while in the minority. During her career, she has proven that she doesn’t duck confrontation or defer to corruption.

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings
(around an image of the No Kings logo) IT’S OFFICIAL

Nearly 7 million people have attended today's peaceful protests, which makes No Kings Day the biggest single-day protest against tyranny in American history!

With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, No Kings Day was 14 times larger than both of Trump's presidential inaugurations (combined).

Fired But Fighting’s statement on Friday’s shooting at CDC. For the full statement, visit firedbutfighting.org. Stay tuned for more info.
The shooting targeting CDC, which resulted in the death of a police officer was horrific, and it was completely preventable. Cuts to CDC programs that reduce gun violence and support mental health, and anti-science rhetoric from political appointees set the stage for this senseless act of violence. Something needs to change.
