Freedom that only protects the popular is not freedom at all. Democracy means defending the rights of dissent, disagreement, and difference, especially when it’s uncomfortable. Anything less is just power pretending. #Surge4Democracy
A quote card over a background of a softly lit, waving American flag in red, white, and blue tones. Centered text reads: “Freedom is always and exclusively freedom for the one who thinks differently.” Below the quote is the name “Rosa Luxemburg,” separated by three small stars.

Government is not a prize to be looted. It’s a public trust. Power exists to serve the people, not the powerful. That principle is ancient, and it still defines real democracy today. #Surge4Democracy
A quote card with a softly blurred background featuring a microphone and warm bokeh lights. Centered text reads: “The administration of the affairs of state must be taken like a public trust, to be undertaken for the benefit of those entrusted to one’s care, and not for the benefit of those upon whom the trust is conferred.” Below the quote is the name “Cicero,” separated by three small stars.

Democracy rests on solidarity, shared humanity, and equal dignity. There’s nothing natural or just about favoritism or exclusion. Our future depends on rejecting hierarchy and standing together. #Surge4Democracy
A quote displayed over a beach shoreline at sunset with waves and warm clouds. The text reads: “We take our stand on the solidarity of humanity, the oneness of life, and the unnaturalness and injustice of all special favoritisms, whether of sex, race, country, or condition.” — Anna Julia Cooper.

Free speech protects your right to speak, not your right to be immune from scrutiny. Democracy depends on open debate, evidence, and accountability. Being heard isn’t the same as being right. #Surge4Democracy
A quote displayed over a background showing silhouettes of people with raised fists at a rally during sunset. The text reads: “The right to be heard does not include the right to be taken seriously.” — Hubert Humphrey. The text “surge4democracy.com” appears at the bottom. Surge 4 Democracy logo.

Every dawn is a reminder: renewal is always possible. Democracy, like the day, depends on people who believe in beginnings and act on them. Hope isn’t passive. It rises when we do. #Democracy #Hope #CivicAction #Surge4Democracy

A system that demands constant “achievement” doesn’t liberate people. It turns pressure inward, burns us out, and calls it success. A healthy democracy values human dignity over endless performance. #Surge4Democracy
A quote displayed over a forest path with tall green trees and sunlight filtering through the leaves. The text reads: “Achievement society is the society of self-exploitation. The achievement-subject exploits itself until it burns out. In the process, it develops auto-aggression that often enough escalates into the violence of self-destruction. The project turns out to be a projectile that the achievement-subject is aiming at itself.” — Byung-Chul Han. The text “surge4democracy.com” appears at the bottom. Surge 4 Democracy logo.

Social justice is built with people, not theories. If we don’t see one another as equals in the struggle, we undermine the very freedom we claim to defend. Solidarity is the work. #Surge4Democracy
A quote displayed over a background of large stone columns in warm light. The text reads: “Whenever you conceptualize social justice struggles, you will always defeat your own purposes if you cannot imagine the people around whom you are struggling as equal partners.” — Angela Davis.

Ignorance isn’t neutral. It’s the barrier that keeps people powerless and democracy fragile. Education, truth, and critical thinking are acts of liberation. Read. Learn. Organize. Freedom depends on it. #Surge4Democracy

The law is clear. The Epstein files must be released. Withholding millions of pages to protect the powerful is not justice, it’s obstruction. Democracy demands transparency, accountability, and equal treatment under the law. #ReleaseTheFiles #RuleOfLaw #Surge4Democracy
A dark blue graphic with bold yellow and white text. The text reads: “Trump and the DOJ have not complied with the law and are still hiding the Epstein files. The law was clear. Trump does not have the authority to withhold 3 million pages. What we’ve seen is disgusting, so imagine what they’re still hiding. Saving the best for last? What’s clear is that Trump and almost his entire administration were tripping over themselves to hang out with Epstein almost a full decade after it was publicly known he was a pedophile. The Epstein Files need to be released and all of these participants investigated and held accountable.” At the bottom left is the text “surge4democracy.com” and the date “2026/02/02”.

The Constitution bans presidents from taking foreign money. Trump is openly flouting it, and the GOP is enabling it. When corruption goes unenforced, democracy erodes fast. No one is above the law, especially the President. #RuleOfLaw #Democracy #Surge4Democracy
A dark blue graphic with bold yellow and white text. The text reads: “Trump’s laundering over $500 million of foreign money through his cryptocurrency venture. Every accusation is a confession. There is massive fraud and corruption taking place in government. The federal government. The Constitution specifically bans the President from accepting emoluments while in office, but the GOP and Trump have decided that the Constitution doesn’t matter anymore since no one will actually enforce it. $500 million from UAE, another $200 million from Qatar, and that’s just what we know about! He is the most corrupt and lawless president in history.” At the bottom left is the text “surge4democracy.com” and the date “2026/02/02”. In the bottom right corner is the Surge 4 Democracy logo.

A justice system that targets critics while shielding allies isn’t law and order; it’s just abuse of power. When prosecution becomes political retaliation, the rule of law collapses. Democracy demands equal justice, not loyalty tests. #RuleOfLaw #FreePress #Surge4Democracy
A dark blue graphic with bold yellow and white text. The text reads: “Trump’s DOJ will pursue bogus charges selectively against critics of the President, but not actual criminals and murderers. Trump has let murderers, drug traffickers, conmen, money launderers, and pedophiles out of prison, while he focuses on attacking journalists’ protected speech. Trump and the Republicans do not stand for law and order or the Constitution. They’ll even attack the 2nd amendment now that it’s convenient. The GOP doesn’t serve America. They serve at Trump’s pleasure.” At the bottom left is the text “surge4democracy.com” and the date “2026/02/02”. In the bottom right corner is the Surge 4 Democracy logo.

The Constitution is clear: Congress controls the purse strings. Trump and the GOP are openly defying it, again. This isn’t policy disagreement, it’s systematic lawlessness. A democracy can’t survive leaders who ignore the rules. #RuleOfLaw #Democracy #Surge4Democracy
A dark blue graphic with bold yellow and white text. The text reads: “Trump and the GOP are yet again trying to violate the Constitution and impound funds. It is not up to Trump to decide whether or not to disburse funds for different states. Congress controls the budget and finances, but Trump and the GOP are determined to violate the Constitution and SCOTUS rulings. Every day this President violates the Constitution. He does it so frequently and so brazenly it’s impossible to keep up with the daily carnage he inflicts on our country. He’s destroying democracy both literally and figuratively.” At the bottom left is the text “surge4democracy.com” and the date “2026/02/02”. In the bottom right corner is the Surge 4 Democracy logo.

Congress has a constitutional duty to check the President. Mike Johnson and House Republicans are refusing to do that job, choosing obedience over accountability. When oversight dies, democracy is what’s at risk. #Democracy #RuleOfLaw #Surge4Democracy
A dark blue graphic with bold yellow and white text. The text reads: “Mike Johnson and the GOP in Congress refuse to do their Constitutionally defined jobs. They refuse to reign in the lawless activities of the President, whether it’s stopping him levying taxes, starting illegal wars, or even stashing billions of dollars in an offshore account he personally controls. The Democrats are right to shut down the government since Mike Johnson is refusing to do anything except rubber stamp everything Trump does and let him spend trillions and trillions of dollars we don’t have.” At the bottom left is the text “surge4democracy.com” and the date “2026/02/02”.

Education is where democracy is renewed or abandoned. If we love the world enough to take responsibility for it, we must defend learning, truth, and the next generation. That choice is ours. #Democracy #Education #CivicDuty #Surge4Democracy
A warm, softly blurred background with a microphone out of focus. Overlaid text reads: “Education is the point at which we decide whether we love the world enough to assume responsibility for it, and by the same token save it from that ruin which except for renewal, except for the coming of the new and the young, would be inevitable.” —Hannah Arendt Below the quote is the text: “surge4democracy.com”.

Authoritarianism thrives when oversight collapses. When power bypasses Congress, ignores the law, and is rubber-stamped by enablers, democracy is in danger. Accountability isn’t optional. It’s the job. Defend the Constitution. #Surge4Democracy
Dark blue background with centered text in yellow and white. Yellow text at top reads: “Trump is acting like a dictator and the GOP is refusing to do their jobs and stop his overreach.” White text below reads: “Instead of conducting oversight, the Republicans in Congress and on SCOTUS do little more than rubber-stamp anything Trump wants to do, regardless of the law.” Yellow text continues: “He bypasses Congress to start illegal wars, raise taxes, and pocket the proceeds from selling oil he ordered the military to steal for him. The Republican party has precisely zero intention of doing anything to make anyone except Trump’s life any better.” At the bottom left in light blue text: “surge4democracy.com”.

Fiscal recklessness isn’t leadership. Exploding the debt, raising costs on Americans, and demanding even more unchecked power isn’t “responsibility”. It’s economic sabotage. Democracy means accountability, facts, and respect for constitutional rights. #Surge4Democracy
Dark blue background with centered text in yellow and white. Yellow text at top reads: “Trump and the Republicans have exploded the debt by over $2 trillion in less than 12 months.” White text below reads: “More than 50% of our debt was signed into law by Trump himself.” Yellow text continues: “Trump and the Republican party have raised taxes on Americans, instigated trade wars, exploded the debt, started illegal wars, and continue to spend like drunken sailors with money America can’t afford. They want billions more to fund poorly trained masked thugs to violate the Constitutional rights of Americans.” At the bottom left in light blue text: “surge4democracy.com”.

The timeline matters. Contacts, invitations, and coordination that continued after Epstein’s 2008 conviction demand scrutiny. It wasn't a rumor he was a pedophile. It was a fact. Power is defined by the company it keeps. The public deserves the full truth. #Surge4Democracy
Dark blue background with centered text in yellow and white. Yellow text at top reads: “Be aware: the people emailing and making plans with Epstein in these documents are doing so AFTER Epstein pled guilty, in 2008.” White text below reads: “Epstein was a convicted pedophile in 2008, and that didn’t stop Elon from begging to be invited to Epstein’s island.” Yellow text continues: “It’s a veritable ‘who’s who’ of Trump-connected celebrities and politicians. These people weren’t just looking the other way, they were actively seeking out Epstein’s friendship and company. What’s the staying? We’re judged by the company we keep? What does this say about Trump?” At the bottom left in light blue text: “surge4democracy.com”. Below that in yellow text: “2026/02/01”. Bottom right corner contains the Surge 4 Democracy logo.

Transparency isn’t optional. Selective releases and quiet removals don’t clear anyone, they raise alarms. This isn’t about party loyalty; it’s about accountability and the protection of children. A full, independent investigation is required. Now. #Surge4Democracy
Dark blue background with centered text in yellow and white. Yellow text at top reads: “Trump is still not complying with the law and releasing all the Epstein files, and what he did release DID NOT exonerate him!” White text below reads: “Quite the opposite. What the Trump DOJ posted and then quickly removed raises urgent questions about Trump’s participation in Epstein’s activities.” Yellow text continues: “This isn’t a partisan issue. This is about holding the people who sexually abused children accountable. We need an independent and full investigation, NOW!” At the bottom left in light blue text: “surge4democracy.com”.

We are born endowed with freedom. It is an inalienable right. A free society depends on independent minds, courageous voices, and the refusal to be caged by fear or authoritarianism. Democracy survives when people insist on their agency. #Surge4Democracy

Using presidential power for personal enrichment is corruption, plain and simple. No president has the authority to seize foreign assets, hide the money, or profit from it. Abuse of power must be investigated and stopped. #Surge4Democracy
Dark navy blue background with centered bold yellow and white text. Text reads: “Trump pocketed $200 million from selling off Venezuela’s oil in a foreign account. Yet another example of our President’s enriching himself at our expense. He used the US military to steal the oil from Venezuela, and then had the people who ‘gave’ him a 747 hold the cash. The President has no authority to do any of this, from kidnap a foreign head of state to pocket the proceeds from the sale of the pillaged loot. This is the most corrupt and lawless administration in American history. He is totally owned by foreign interests.” At the bottom left in light blue text: “surge4democracy.com” Below it in yellow text: “2026/01/31” At the bottom right: “Surge 4 Democracy logo.”

Presidents release their tax returns. Trump didn’t and now he wants billions of taxpayer dollars for himself. That’s not accountability. It’s corruption. Self-dealing, conflicts of interest, and abuse of power must be investigated. #Surge4Democracy
Dark navy blue background with centered bold yellow and white text. Text reads: “Every President except Trump has released their tax returns. Trump wants to give himself $10 billion of our money because his returns were leaked during his first term. Trump clearly didn’t suffer any damages, but that won’t stop him from helping himself to your tax dollars. This naked corruption and self-dealing is what the GOP and Trump are all about. They don’t even bother to pretend to avoid conflicts of interest. He needs to be impeached and investigated and all these ill-gotten gains returned to the tax payer.” At the bottom left in light blue text: “surge4democracy.com” Below it in yellow text: “2026/01/31” At the bottom right is the Surge 4 Democracy logo: a stylized hand holding a curved flame-like shape in light blue and yellow.

When a president targets journalists instead of criminals, democracy is in danger. Arresting reporters, ignoring corruption, and silencing dissent are authoritarian tactics. The First Amendment is under attack. #Surge4Democracy
Dark navy blue background with centered bold yellow and white text. Text reads: “Trump is attacking the First Amendment and trying to silence journalists using fallacious charges to arrest Don Lemon and Georgia Fort. They won’t investigate the murderers and human traffickers in ICE, they won’t investigate Trump for his connections to Epstein. They persecute journalists. Trump is acting like a dictator, and the GOP is letting him. He’s violating the Constitution, silencing dissent, persecuting opponents, and enriching himself out of the public coffers. He is totally corrupt.” At the bottom left in light blue text: “surge4democracy.com” Below it in yellow text: “2026/01/31” At the bottom right is the Surge 4 Democracy logo: a stylized hand holding a curved flame-like shape in light blue and yellow.

Trump is violating the law. If the Epstein files exist, they must be released in full. Every allegation must be investigated. No special treatment. No cover-ups. Democracy demands accountability. #Surge4Democracy
Dark navy blue background with bold yellow and white text centered on the image. Text reads: “Trump and his DOJ are refusing to comply with the law and release all the Epstein files, but what they did post was DISGUSTING. The allegations against Trump are truly disturbing. These accusations occur over multiple years from multiple women, against an adjudicated rapist. All the Epstein files need to be released, and every one of these absolutely heinous allegations need to be investigated fully. Trump should resign in disgrace.” At the bottom left in light blue text: “surge4democracy.com” Below it in yellow text: “2026/01/31” At the bottom right is the Surge 4 Democracy logo: a stylized hand holding a curved flame-like shape in light blue and yellow.

Truth is always the first target of authoritarianism. When leaders decide facts are optional, democracy is already under attack. We've been warned exactly how this begins and history has shown why we must defend reality itself. #Surge4Democracy
Quote graphic with silhouetted landscape at dusk. Light beige text box on blue-gray background reads: "Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it." — Hannah Arendt.

If Congress won’t enforce transparency or the rule of law, it isn’t doing its job. Shielding powerful people, blocking legally required disclosures, and enabling reckless foreign policy isn’t patriotism. It’s loyalty to one man over democracy itself. #Surge4Democracy
A dark blue square graphic with yellow and white text. The text reads: “The GOP in Congress will let Trump start World War 3 with Iran before they ever make Trump release the Epstein files. The law demands the Epstein files were to be released back in December 2025! Trump and the GOP really are ‘pedophile protectors’. They’re protecting Epstein’s accomplices from accountability by refusing to release the Epstein files. They’re putting their own personal loyalty to people who participated in child sex trafficking over the good of the country and the rule of law. Instead of serving America, they serve Trump.” At the bottom left, light blue text reads: surge4democracy.com 2026/01/30 At the bottom right is the Surge 4 Democracy logo.
