Instead of working to reopen the government, Trump is using his spare time to go after his political enemies. We need to speak up.

Stacey is right. We don't have to do everything, but we ALL need to do at least one thing to save our democracy. For instance, I'm doing 3 simple things most of you are: Protesting, donating to pro-democracy legal orgs, and sharing information. Check out The 10 Steps to Freedom and Power. 🗽💙

We need to be clear about the stakes and we need to push back loudly. This is about more than just keeping the lights on in DC, it’s about protecting our freedom, our healthcare, and our democracy.

Democrats are fighting to deliver for all of us - by protecting Affordable Care Act subsidies, lowering costs, and making people’s lives better.

Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams.com · 14d

Trump and Republicans continue to rip healthcare away from millions of Americans and fire thousands of civil servants - to break government and our public spirit.

This government shutdown is the next phase of the authoritarian power grab by Trump and the GOP, this time by taking away people’s healthcare and livelihoods.

Tonight, @staceyabrams.com, the Walter Chair in Race & Black Politics at Howard University, & @profmbj.bsky.social told an audience we’re now under an authoritarian regime.
They both outlined ways to combat it. Abrams recently launched 10stepscampign.org, which has tips on actions to take.

Autocrats have a playbook. So do we. Share what you know, organize your people, fight in the courts & protest in our streets, demand more from our leaders. Our 10 Steps lead to freedom.
