Fighting for Democracy Everyday

“If they rise, they rise.” Donald Trump’s reaction to $3.48 national average for gas. This as Trump has started an illegal war, presented no plan for ending it, and doesn’t care what you think. CALL YOUR MEMBER OF CONGRESS AND TELL THEM TO DO THEIR JOB! #STOPTRUMP #Trump #Iran #stopauthoritarianism

Trump calls on divided GOP to pass SAVE America Act ‘at the expense of everything else’ Trump suggested the SAVE America Act includes a number of provisions that are not in the proposal.

The SAVE act has not gone away. It has a new name - the SAVE America Act - and it is dangerous. They know they can’t win so they are doing all they can to stop free and fair elections. #SAVEAct #midterms

Very good overview article with data and calls to action from @Simon Rosenberg. Please read and share #trumpeconomy #iran #economy #epstein

Of course what Trump/MAGA tells us was a lie or made up. There is a reason this action was taken - we just don’t it yet know - we can speculate as more people are killed and injured. #iran #trumplies #epstein

I’m not making a “take” on anything. I just don’t understand what his reasoning is. And, yes, I understand how Congress works and this fascist regime manipulating - I do.

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social this is confusing. Do you mean that you are ok with #Trump unilaterally deciding to go to war thumbing his nose at the #constitution and #congress’ Article One authorities? Looking forward is important but so is dealing with how we got here.

Starts an illegal war in the Middle East and he can’t even be bothered to take his ass to the White House. And, hey, #JDVance - you aren’t President so get your ass out of that chair. #iran #trump #vance

DHS will suspend TSA PreCheck and Global Entry as shutdown continues The Department of Homeland Security will temporarily halt both programs as part of several emergency measures expected to go into effect early Sunday.

This is what #authoritarians do. MAGA makes it less secure for people to fly in the US so they can pressure Congress to approve more than the $10BILLION it already has to fund unconstitutional ICE actions. Welcome to fascism. #Trump #MAGA

Ghislaine Maxwell was Epstein's fixer. That’s exactly what #pambondi is - exposing victim’s names while keeping powerful men hidden. We already know #Trump is in those files thousands of times. #Bondi isn’t an attorney general she is #Trump’s fixer. It’s a cover up. Period. #releasetheepsteinfiles

Power grabs don’t always look dramatic.

The SAVE Act 2.0 is MAGA/Trump’s way of holding onto power by making it more difficult for you to vote.

Call your members of Congress and say NO TO THE SAVE ACT 2.0
#HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/M2cWRv56

Contact Your MOC

Every issue you care about—from union rights to abortion access—requires political power. The SAVE Act 2.0 is a scheme to strip your power, especially women, young people, and voters of color. If you can't vote, you can't fight back.

MAP: All 23 industrial warehouses ICE wants to turn into detention ‘death camps’ In an apparent attempt to avoid public outcry and scrutiny, ICE has sought to secure these leases in private. So we made a searchable map of every proposed site.

Heads up! Info on DHS proposed detention camps. Communities are stepping up to say NO! @maddow.bsky.social also did a piece on this on 2/2. #ICEOUT #takebackourdemocracy #takebackourcommunities

All good questions we need to be asking everyday!

This is what we can do when We the People all stand up and speak out. Thanks to all who made this happen because it speaks volumes about who we are as a country. We cannot let MAGA Trump represent who We are. we just have to keep fighting. #iceout #WethePeople #takebackourdemocracy

They Wanted Silence. We Refused. Take heart. In a week designed to exhaust us they failed to make us disappear.

Another well researched, well reasoned piece from @thejenniwren.teamlh.social with a look at what has happened and what’s on the horizon. #WethePeople #takebackourdemicracy

From cities to towns to rural communities—Americans are standing up & shouting out. The PEOPLE are taking back their power. Democrats and Republicans - do not use our tax dollars for Trump’s fascist thugs. NO ON DHS FUNDING! #IceoffOurStreets

Thank you @atrupar.com
There is just so much hitting us at one time. It’s on purpose. But - THIS IS IMPORTANT. If we want to maintain our free elections and democracy- PAY ATTENTION! Understand what is happening. #dictatorship #2026elections

Trump’s ICE has no rules to abide but one - don’t worry about the law, US or otherwise. Of course they feel like they can barge into another country’s consulate. PLEASE call your Senator - Democrat or Republican- and NO MORE MONEY TO ICE! #ICEOUT

US citizens, exercising their constitutional rights, shot dead by Trump’s hand-picked gestapo. Tell Senators of both parties - this isn’t border enforcement - NO to our tax dollars going to Trump’s ICE. #NoMoneyForMurderers #ICEOUT

We, the People, Refuse to Fund Violence No more blank checks for ICE. The Senate votes Tuesday.

open.substack.com/pub/thejenni...
People are asking WHAT CAN I DO! YOU have the power. YOU chose who to hand that power to, then YOU hold accountable those who have been given that power. Tell your members of Congress - Dems, Republicans or MAGA - NO to funding ICE uncontrolled violence. #ICEOUT

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN:

"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."

and

"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."
