I’m heartbroken I couldn’t join the No Kings protest today — but I’m thrilled to report that @votersoftomorrow.org chapters around the country made it clear that Gen Z won’t stand for fascism.

Four years ago, I filed suit to find out why the Florida Department of Law Enforcement illegally denied my public records requests about their targeting of a then-member of the DNC.
In September, I won a JUDGEMENT against FDLE.
They let their appeal rights expire.
That's all she wrote.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.
Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.
And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

Now, Trump sent that TRILLION dollars to his friends and doesn't want to pay for YOUR healthcare.
