In America, we don’t use federal agents to intimidate citizens out of participating in their own democracy. Yet more than a dozen Border Patrol agents showed up Thursday in downtown LA at a rally Gov. Gavin Newsom held on congressional redistricting an event that had nothing to do with immigration.

The president who gave a blanket pardon to those convicted of violent crimes related to the Jan 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol labeled those protesting at Tesla dealerships “domestic terrorists” and promised that his government would make sure they “go through hell.”
What an anticonstitutional jerk!

The Grifter-In-Chief is using the White House as a backdrop for a Tesla commercial to help boost Elon’s failing company. This is corruption in broad daylight.

Democratic leaders:
I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working.
Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):
1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*
2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything
3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can
4. Citizens march en mass

I spent four years investigating these sorts of claims.
Children aren’t being taught they’re inherently victims or oppressors. Teachers aren’t leading kids to change genders.
Instead these claims are used as a pretext to sanitize history curricula and impose conservative Christian ideas in schools

When Will Democrats Wake Up and Finally Fight Back Against MAGA?
Instead of moving to the center, courting Liz Cheney, and welcoming bipartisanship, Democrats need to learn from grassroots movements in France and Brazil and fight back with a winning message.

These attacks on trans people are fucked up. Pure malevolence. Won't stop with trans people either.
I worry too many Dems will be quiet or muted. Fearing they don't have 'right' words to engage, they'll be quiet. There's no magic messaging here though.
At minimum, be firm and sincere.

On day one Trump's EO said we were harmful to kids. On day two, it said we were dishonorable and disloyal. On day three, it said we were unAmerican.
Transgender people have been a part of this country for centuries.
We are not going anywhere.
Do not comply with these EOs, they are not law.

MAGA doesn't understand that our allies won't take kindly to being held hostage by Trump's tyranny. They will seek other economic and security partners. Unfortunately, that will most likely mean China and Russia. All of this is going to be a disaster.

Something I’ve learned over the years:
Just because you don’t see it happen on social media doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
In fact, some of the best community building I’ve seen *has* to happen offline so strategies can get fine-tuned and aligned.
We’ll need to grant more grace in the now.
