Good News: A Court Rejects Trump's Effort To Suppress The Vote
In March, Donald Trump issued an executive order titled “PRESERVING AND PROTECTING THE INTEGRITY OF AMERICAN ELECTIONS.” Predictably, it was designed to do anything but that.

“People are leaving MAGA. Not in viral TikToks or primetime dramas—yet—but in church basements, town halls, and small-town Facebook groups. A mass slipping away, fading into the bushes, is happening all over this country at this very moment.”

65% of migrants targeted by ICE have no criminal convictions. 93% have no violent convictions. It was never about deporting criminals It was always about white supremacy.

"I believe ardently that nonviolent resistance is in the big picture and the long term the most effective strategy, but that doesn't mean it must be polite, placid, or please our opponents, not least because nothing ever will and they'll lie and distort no matter what."
This is a moment when solidarity is essential, and we weaken our cause with internal squabbling about tactics, the necessity or inadequacy of nonviolent strategies, and the rest. Keep your eyes on the enemy and the big picture. I also believe that those of us who are older, whiter, safer from the threats of state violence do not have the moral ground to lecture the younger, browner and blacker, more directly impacted demographic on what they should and should not do. As Martin Luther King, Jr., our great prophet of nonviolence, said: "In the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear?” They'll hear it now, if they listen to the people directly, or pick media sources that are not corrupted by deference to police and Trumpist versions when those versions are lies. Because lies are also a kind of violence, violence against the truth, against the compact we have that words describe realities, and we live in a shared reality. Lies are also thefts of our right to know what the speaker knows, sabotage of that shared reality, of meaning itself.

There are more of us than them. But billionaires have tried to rig our country to take away the power of our numbers, so we can't hold them accountable through unions, in court, or even at the ballot box. We need the power of numbers.
