Our “unalienable” rights don’t come from God or the government.
Our rights are based on our willingness and capacity to seize them.
We obtain and maintain the rights we have only through collective struggle.

The biggest threats to democracy are not the commands of the demented dictator, but the eager willingness of his sycophants to carry them out.
No autocrat has intrinsic power. Their power is derived from the support of other elites.

By now it should be clear that we cannot rely on the Constitution, the law, or formal rights to protect us.
Those with power interpret the Constitution, make the laws (and break them) & grant our rights (or don't).
We need to learn how to more effectively wield OUR power—people power.

Just obstructing Trump's agenda will not get us healthcare, childcare, affordable housing and food security.
Democrats need to embrace a vision of a more equitable country, or they will forever be nothing more than a feckless alternative to fascism.

General strikes can have a tremendous impact, but they require an organized majority, solidarity and resources to weather repression.
