12/ I’ll leave you with this: Power, when concentrated, always seeks to grow. But so does resistance. Let’s organise, mobilise, and remind the world that democracy isn’t just a system—it’s people standing together for justice. ✊ #Democracy #Resist

11/ If you’re feeling powerless, start small. Support organisations fighting for democracy. Talk to your community. Push for transparency in leadership. And don’t forget: You are not alone in this fight.

10/ This isn’t just a thread—it’s a call to action. If you run a company, lead a team, or are part of a community, now is the time to step up. Let’s build tools, platforms, and movements that empower people to protect democracy. Together, we can push back. 🌎

9/ History tells us that when unchecked, these moves spiral into deeper authoritarianism. But it also shows us the power of resistance. From workers’ strikes to civil rights marches, ordinary people have always been the ones to change the world.

8/ People power is the antidote to authoritarianism. Every vote, every protest, every collective action matters. Let’s remind ourselves and our communities: We have more power than we think. We just have to use it. 💪

7/ Here’s what we can do:

- Support independent journalism and fact-checking. Disinformation thrives in chaos.
- Create spaces for grassroots organising. People must feel they can come together and act.
- Advocate for strong democratic norms. Protect voting rights. Challenge power grabs.

6/ As activists and leaders, we need to ask ourselves: How are we empowering people to resist these tactics? How are we helping them organise, use their voices, and hold leaders accountable? Silence is complicity.

5/ The danger here isn’t just Trump—it’s the systems that allow leaders to act unilaterally without accountability. From media consolidation to judicial interference, we’re seeing the democratic safeguards that protect people power wear thin.

4/ This isn’t just a name change—it’s a distraction and a rallying cry. While we debate the Gulf of “America,” what policies, decisions, or power grabs are flying under the radar? Nationalist theatre is often a smokescreen for deeper democratic erosion.

3/ Throughout history, authoritarian regimes have used renaming as a tool to erase shared identities and assert control. The Nazis renamed streets and towns to align with their ideology. The Soviets renamed cities to glorify their leaders. Sound familiar?

2/ Symbolism has real power. Leaders like Trump understand that renaming something as vast and shared as the Gulf of Mexico signals dominance. It’s a move designed to consolidate control over public narratives and reinforce nationalism. This isn’t just about geography.
