So what's next after today's May Day mobilizations?
On June 14, Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday.
But real power isn't staged in DC. It rises up everywhere else. That's why we're planning a nationwide day of action to say No Kings. 🧵

MAGA Christians, I have a spiritual question and was wondering if you'd help me out.
For my entire life, I thought that Christians were supposed to give a damn about other people.
Looking at you, now I think maybe I've been doing IT wrong all these years.

Simply believing that our leaders will do what is right is irresponsible now.
Trusting that everything will work out simply because it always tended work out in the past is a fool's delusion.

Trump voter,
Your silence doesn't do anything right now but allow you to divorce yourself from your vote, to avoid any accountability for the man you've chosen, and to perpetuate the erratic, reckless, criminal behavior that is endangering all of us.
