🚨Trump’s team is plotting to declare a fake "national emergency" to hijack elections.
One operative says they can “take steps without Congress” and mandate state election rules.
Independent, state-run elections are the last firewall between democracy and authoritarian rule.

🇺🇸 No Kings follows the American tradition of peaceful protest.
People are using their First Amendment rights to speak out against the Trump regime's anti-freedom.
Republicans are lying because they know the truth: if we show up to vote in 2026, they’re toast.

Without Section 2 of the VRA, we'd be left with elections that appear free, but are rigged to keep power in the same hands.
Protecting fair elections is the only way to halt that slide away from freedom.
The path forward is narrow, but it exists – and demands urgency.

The impact would hit the South hardest.
If Section 2 falls, states like Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina & more could erase Black opportunity districts – hard-won fair districts across the region.
It's the endgame of a far-right plan to lock in control.

My duty is to the voters, not to...political insiders…If I were required to simply approve any name sent over, it would strip away my role as an elected official and hand the people's power to those who are not accountable to them.

Last Wednesday I voted not to approve the two nominees put forward by the Republican Party for the Fulton County Board of Elections. Serving as a commissioner means more than pushing paper or rubber stamping decisions made by others.

It’s part of a coordinated far-right push into authoritarianism.

Texas is one part of the Republican scheme to redraw maps and lock in power.
In case their mass gerrymandering push fails, Trump wants a new census, that would mean EVERY congressional is redrawn.
Secret GOP files said it would be "advantageous…to Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites.” ⬇️

Enter Trump’s DOJ who are opposing preclearance in the case.
They're saying the federal government can't protect Americans from state election laws + political maps that discriminate against them.
Their reason? That would infringe on states' right to manage their own elections.

Mike Johnson says he feels “helpless” watching Texas flood.
But he’s the one pushing to make Trump’s DOGE cuts permanent – the same cuts that gutted the National Weather Service and left Texans without accurate warning.
