We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.
The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight
Justice Riggs is right. We should not have to fight for democracy. But the reality is that we must.

BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands.
It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.

We are now at the point where Trump is judge, jury and jailer. If he declares someone is a criminal, they will be taken away by masked men, never to be seen again.
We cannot allow this to be normalized. American citizens will be next.

Frost: I come from Florida. See, Project 2025 is Florida 2024. We’ve seen this, but we also know how to deal with it. When they disappear, a college student, you take to the streets. When they steal your Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid, you take to the streets.

For the university and hospital administrators who thought repressing programs on racial and gender inequalities, suspending trans care, censoring truth on genocide, etc was going to stop Trump from attacking your federal funding, please confront how naive and cowardly you’ve been and change course.
