The ruling party wants to arrest members of the opposition party who are trying to stop them from rigging the mid-term elections. This is not something which happens in a democracy. MAGA is trying to create a one party dictatorship.

Reverse Robin Hood - the recently passed bill will cause people making <$36k to actually lose money (2.5% at the bottom bracket), while people earning >$120k to gain 2.4% more. This from the man who won the election because of affordability. Betrayal.

The whole premise of the bill is that it fuels growth. The U.S. seen 3x economic growth since 1980. Yet overall purchasing power for the average family has been essentially the same, and key things like housing and education have skyrocketed in recent years. Who still believes the myth?

What happened to the passion to reduce the deficit? To the fury against increasing costs of living? To the rage against insider deals and corruption in the "swamp"? To the righteous cries for free speech? Just a thought: maybe it wasn't ever actually really about these things.

Peace through "pre-emptive" violence is an nonsensical proposition. There will always be human conflict. There is no end to come to where somehow the use of force has made all conflict end. Any temporary "peace" will only last until the perpetrator needs to prove its power again.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions

Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

How did we get so far down the road toward authoritarianism, with portions of the country seemingly unalarmed or even generally supportive? The answer might be differing definitions of “democracy.” We boil it down to 3 intertwined concepts: www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/what-is-de...

DOGE is essentially conducting an illegal and extreme consolidation of power over federal spending. Congress legally controls spending, not the President or anyone else. The courts are being ignored and vilified that are trying to stop it This will get harder to stop the longer it goes on.

🧵 [2/3] Indivisible is part of a larger network helping average, everyday Americans like you fight back. You CAN do something, in person too. It's our job to convince Republicans and Senior Dems to fight. Put a face to our pain so they can't treat us like numbers. indivisible.org/coup ▼ MORE ▼

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO FIGHT BACK

If you have a Democratic senator, make their life hell until they fight back. Demand that they block every Trump nominee. Demand they shut down the Senate until this crisis is addressed. Demand they use every parliamentary tool available to obstruct Trump’s agenda.

If you have a Republican senator, hammer them on Russell Vought’s confirmation. We need four votes to flip. And behind closed doors, we know Republicans are shaking in their boots about Project 2025. They should either vote against him—or suffer the political fallout.

Get in the streets and into their offices. Nothing rattles a senator like dozens of constituents physically showing up at their office demanding action. That is what we need this week.
