“Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums and the arts — to prevent us from learning. It’s Fascism 101.”
~ Robert Reich

In June, millions of everyday Americans from every walk of life peacefully took to the streets and declared with one voice: NO KINGS!
And President Trump’s attempt at a coronation collapsed under the strength of a movement rising against his abuses of power.

Please join me on 10-18-25!

A poster:
Many demonstrators outdoors, holding protest signs and flags: NO KINGS!
The image of a crown with a red ‘X’ drawn through it; and, text that reads, “ Power belongs to the people. Join the movement. Saturday, October 18th. NO KINGS.”

HERE'S WHAT TRUMP DOES:

1. Creates a crisis that hurts a lot of people.

2. Frames the crisis as a good thing.

3. The crisis gets really bad.

4. Trump then reverses his bad decision and takes credit credit for ending the crisis he created.

5. MAGA eats it up.

EVERY SINGLE TIME!

“Where do I go to report an immigrant who was working here illegally before obtaining a fraudulent visa, had an anchor baby, brought her family here through chain migration, and who’s currently living in government-funded housing and receiving free health care?”

MEDICARE FOR ALL!
Astronomical health care costs and lack of access drive individuals, families and businesses past their breaking point, while insurance companies continue to soak-up billions of health care dollars, and millions of children’s basic needs go unmet.

“The American people need to raise Holy Hell and not stop until the full Epstein files are released and every person implicated in them is brought to justice, despite their party or position. We’re either a nation of human decency or we’re not. This should be a nonpartisan demand."

In states that have Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) & open primaries, no one pays anything to get on a ballot; however, they may pay a nominal filing fee to run. If a candidate is supported by a political party, they do not necessarily have to spend their own money, during a possibly expensive campaign.

"It's tiring to look out at combat formations, or really any formation, and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon and leading commands around the country and the world."

This government shut down is all about whether Republicans will get away with raising health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throwing 15 million people off their health care.

We can't allow that to happen.

REPUBLICANS THREATEN A SHUTDOWN!
Republicans control the House, Senate, and Presidency.
➡️ “Each one of these Presidents (Biden, Clinton and Clinton) inherited an economy wrecked by a Republican, and each one left with a booming economy, only for the incoming Republican President to wreck it again.”
