In George Orwell's "1984," the Ministry of Truth altered historical records and discarded unwelcome data in "memory holes." The Trump administration isn’t just threatening free press; they are eliminating data. Data suppression is a well-documented authoritarian tactic.

It's like he saw Trump coming...

This week gave us the images that say it all: tearing down the government and crapping on Americans. Seems about right.

The people who stopped fascism before us weren't braver than we are. They were just as scared. They spoke up anyway. They organized anyway. They showed up anyway.

Voting with your wallet matters. Join #OctoberOptOut and shop local businesses only this month. Corporations are supporting Trump, because there's no real downside. We show them the risk when we redirect our dollars.

We're with her.

The trajectory is clear. People are paying attention and taking action. Peaceful protests is one of our most powerful tools for undermining authoritarianism. Let's keep the momentum going! #NoKings #OctoberOptOut

To every organizer who poured their soul into this, to every protester who raised their voice—thank you. You reminded us what courage looks like. You give us hope. Never surrender.

Thank you to everyone showing up tomorrow. Let's make it impossible to ignore us. Bring everyone you can. Fill the streets. Let's make history.

The nonpartisan, nonprofit Committee to Protect Journalists concluded that when taken together, these actions "paint a really alarming picture of deteriorating media freedom in the U.S." Pressure organizations that capitulate by ending subscriptions and your viewership. We have power to stop this.

Democracy is messy, slow, and frustrating--because it's alive. Authoritarianism promises efficiency and certainty, but delivers stagnation and decay. Let's show we value the hard work of freedom over the ease of submission any day.

This ends when we all stand up for democracy!

Recommended reading for those wanting to dig deeper into the authoritarian playbook being (clumsily) implemented by Trump.

Can't wait to stand for democracy with you. #OctoberOptOut #NoKings

Calling Anti-Facism an organization is just an excuse to persecute anyone who's resisting Trump
