Demonstrations against Trump are getting larger and louder. This is absolutely essential.
But Trump’s regressive populism — cruel, tyrannical, bigoted, authoritarian — must be met by a bold progressive populism that strengthens democracy and shares the wealth.

Keep demonstrating against Trump — but also for a better future.

Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos are working with Trump for one very simple reason:
They understand that Trump's policies are designed to make the wealthiest Americans even richer.
These three men have become $232 billion richer since November.
Not bad in a couple of months time!

One of the most important lessons Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. taught was the value of sustained resistance.
They didn't protest once and go home. They launched ongoing campaigns in cities that lasted huge amounts of time. People strategically alternated when they could participate so it was ongoing.

Is anyone keeping track of Trumps actions on the Project 2025 playbook? Seems like quite a coincidence how closely his actions are aligned with a document he claimed no knowledge of. 🤔

I can think of at least eight federal laws that have been broken by Musk and his goons over the last few days, and at least two provisions of the U.S. Constitution.
They must be stopped.

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.
President Trump’s order freezing trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans sent officials at schools, hospitals, nonprofit organizations and many others into a frantic scramble to understand the extent of the directive. Here's what to know.
Order to pause federal spending creates deep uncertainty for schools, nonprofits and companies.

The president can veto or support legislation. He can make recommendations to Congress. But he doesn't have the unilateral right to change laws.
Trump has very little respect for the rule of law & our Constitution. He is moving us toward authoritarianism.
We must stop him.
