I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.
Pay attention and act!

For the first time in 111 years, a President is planning to fire a sitting Fed governor—and of course, it’s the first Black woman, Lisa Cook.
Trump’s message is clear: when Black women rise, he’ll do anything to push us down.
Newsflash: we’re not going anywhere.

Texas State Rep Collier is being held hostage in the Texas Capitol unless she signs a paper (she refuses). Texas Capitol police are there to arrest her if she tries to go home. The paper says she will return to the state legislature and not break quorum.

Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.

Abbott said he has “bullets in his belt” for TX Dems. GVP advocates know the danger of this rhetoric. People I care about are scared for simply doing the job they were elected by me and my neighbors to do. It’s un-American.

Let’s be very clear: Los Angeles is the perfect place for this to play out for the Trumpists. The Trumpists hate California and hate Los Angeles and a vast amount of their base feels the same — even the Trumpists here, who wallow in hating the place they live.

The administration gets closer to using the military to crush civilian dissent. Expect deaths, disappearances, and lawless detentions.
Tom Homan: We are making Los Angeles safer. Mayor Bass should be thanking us. She says they are going to mobilize—guess what? We are already mobilizing. We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight

Texas will require state documents to reflect sex assigned at birth
Many trans Texans have changed the sex listed on their birth certificate, driver’s licenses and other documents. They say their identities will be invalidated under bill headed to governor's desk.
