I haven't always agreed with Jerome Powell, but what Donald Trump is doing is out of the dictator’s playbook.
Kudos to Powell for speaking out.

The only antidote is activism.
We will not succumb to despair or doom, or become paralyzed with fear.
We will win and we will rebuild an America that upholds democracy and the rule of law.

It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.
People are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up.
The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

His motive is to gain more power and, along the way, more wealth.

Deploying masked thugs to terrorize American cities.
Unilaterally threatening and bombing foreign countries.
Trump is a ruthless dictator, plain and simple.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC0vKzRmPos
