On this 5-year anniversary of January 6th, let’s all remember that we are not immune from coups and insurrections. We are not immune from authoritarianism. Preventing them from happening in the U.S. requires all of us pay attention and do something to protect democracy.

As our January 6th Committee report showed, many heroic Americans stood up to Donald Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
But the Big Lie did not stop after January 6, and we need to be ready as Trump and his loyalists work again to undermine our free and fair elections.

Trump's escalation in Latin America will likely serve as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home.
We must resist his efforts to launch more international wars and stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.

“If you want to end it. The way to do it is to put pressure on Putin,” said William B. Taylor, former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, urging the fastest way to end the war in Ukraine is for President Trump to apply military and economic pressure, including cutting off Putin’s oil and gas revenues.
