We’re building a #PeoplesMovement.

Today, over 3 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy.

And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable.

We don’t have a year to save American democracy. I’m not sure we have 4 months. And I’m not going to be told we are “overreacting” this time.
Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

Icymi last night: if you've got a few bucks to spare, chip in to say thanks to Rep. Green. Not only is it good to reward his courage, but a flood of donations might help shake a little sense into his colleagues

“In Mr. Green’s case, he was not only challenging the president but also defying the entreaties of Democratic congressional leaders that members attend Mr. Trump’s speech and refrain from disruptions.”

I’m glad Rep. Al Green of Texas stood up for us. Cowardice from powerful people is lethal.

Republicans had the Texas Democrat, who introduced the first articles of impeachment against Trump in 2017, ejected after he shouted at the president and refused to sit down.
