The only strategy known to work against a fascist power grab is widespread and diverse pro-democracy organizing. We win by showing up for each other and with each other.

The Plan:

Impeach Trump after the midterms, 2 years into his term and the struggle to hang on to the country we hope we really are. If Republicans resist, a Democrat-led impeachment proceeding would at the very least be a watershed moment—an essential reckoning:

Turns out that offering the president's wife $28 million for a documentary gig still doesn't spare you from his retributive wrath.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

It has to be all hands on deck right now. We all have to understand that that the USA is under an attack like never before. Pearl Harbor and 9-11 pales in comparison to what this is. This is a Generations changing event and likely the downfall of the Country. If there is no pushback its game over.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.
