Multiple, decentralized grassroots groups are pushing back on the chaotic, cruel Trump regime, state officials, the judiciary, and mega-rich corporations.
No single charismatic leader or political group is leading or organizing our resistance. It's all hands on deck, American history in the making.

Trump's latest propaganda campaign cost us $200 million.
This is what authoritarianism looks like.
People don't follow the news.
This is what they will believe.
This is not a drill.
Unless the push-back is ferocious and immediate, the false narrative WILL prevail. Fact-checking online will not suffice. We need to fight. Publicly, loudly, urgently.

It's funny, but this was just a hunch. So I looked to see if Marsha Blackburn had taken money from H&R Block, and with predictability seldom seen outside of American politics, I found that she had. What a corrupt system we have.

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

Based on my experience working with Catholic Charities, I still have hope they will jump on board with the case of churches as sanctuaries. They have done so in the past as well as done a lot of charitable work with refugees and undocumented people.
You would think the Catholics would do so first, but they sold out to Trump already. Thanks Quakers! Didn't even knew you that still existed, but glad you do.
