Like most bullies, Trump can be constrained only if everyone stands up to his bullying. Go to town halls. Tell your local media to report on DOGE cuts in your community. Keep speaking out. The fight against authoritarianism will take all of us — and we can't relent.

Something we haven’t focused on enough is that the Trump administration isn’t just deporting people without process, it’s deporting them & incarcerating them in inhumane conditions in a third country. And we are paying for that cruel & unusual punishment that our government is imposing.
