Protect Democracy
It can happen here. We can stop it.
protectdemocracy.org
I was seeking an "Okay what the f*ck do we do now?" plan of sorts. Stumbled across protectdemocracy.org which lists several concrete actions you can take, as well as in-depth information about authoritarianism (hint: they want you to lose hope--don't let them).

Gentlemen, Ladies, we don't really care about ICE not getting even more funding. We don't care about more "training" and more rules they won't follow.
We want ICE de-funded. Dismantled. Gone. Driven out of our cities.

The latest Epstein release is chilling. Trump had a big hand in the entire operation. This is what Putin has on him, not "pee pee tapes". He and his enablers need to be removed and be in prison for many years. #EpsteinFiles #Epstein #EpsteinCoverup

Trump’s deployment of federal troops has cost taxpayers nearly $500 million so far — and could surpass $1 billion for the rest of the year.
That’s after slashing SNAP and Medicaid, letting ACA subsidies expire, and gutting countless other federal programs.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.
Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.
And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.
The system is rigged.

Probably too late but Senate Democrats should point out that Commerce-Justice-Science, part of the big spending package, needs an explicit ban on FBI/DOJ raids and seizure of original voting records and ballots. Why? The FBI just did that in Fulton County, GA. STILL trying to prove 2020 fraud.

Shortly after detainment, he was transferred to a hospital where he died. A nurse said it appeared he “fell down stairs.”
