These are the things Trump has always been crystal clear on. Even the 1st time he poorly represented America in our White House. That Repubs & media refused to call out his stark & obvious unfitness to be an American president is what has frustrated & infuriated me for the whole of the past 10 yrs.

MUST-WATCH 🧯 @chrismurphyct.bsky.social delivers a precise, impassioned warning about Trump’s authoritarian power grab in progress—and urges Republicans to stop it before our democracy is gone. Watch his plea, share widely, and tag your lawmakers—demand action before it’s too late!

Here's more fuel to add to our FIRE🔥

Trump’s allies suddenly raging over October 18 No Kings protests.

It’s backfiring: Dems & rally organizers using it to galvanize attendance, [it] will likely succeed.

De Niro amplified call to turn out...more anger on Fox

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

@mlipsitt.bsky.social Part 2--just as relevant, Marcie! CRM2 (this 2nd Civil Rights Movement) is being DRIVEN by the a💤holes who lost CRM1. They just refuse to hear us say, "On the warpath! If you voted for Trump, stay away!" We're NOT going back❗

Teapot Dome scandal? Watergate? These are minuscule compared to what's uncovered every week with Trump. And just imagine what we haven't yet learned. Release the Epstein Files. Impeach and remove. Now.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

This is so important.

We have to remember that America has a LONG and very SUCCESSFUL history of resistance.

Need some inspiration? Please read & share:

The Bold Tradition of American Resistance, Part II: The Rebellion Lives

From the streets to the ballot box, from whispers to marches—our legacy of resistance is alive. Read, remember, and take your place in it.
