It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents.

But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

a smart, important message to the next generation.
We must remember: it’s not that democracy doesn’t work. It’s that democracy requires work.
