I really believe we need something to solidify our movement. There are some wonderful protest songs that might get people motivated.

I have read your books, "47 Days" and just finished "Surviving the Fatherland." These books were an eye-opener for me, especially concerning the children in Germany during Hitler's reign. Thank you for writing and sharing these stories.

We’re back. Join our next nationwide day of defiance on October 18. Trump’s regime is abducting immigrants, deploying troops in our streets, rigging maps to silence voters, and defying the courts, but standing up to wannabe kings is part of our DNA.

Looks like the uncertainty introduced by this regime has slowed job growth again. August 2025, only 54,000 jobs were added, the lowest since the pandemic. I do not trust any numbers coming out of this regime, so, I'm sticking with the ADP report.

10 days until we gather again.

Over 200,000 people are signed up to hit the streets on No Kings Day. While Trump has tanks rolling through DC for his authoritarian parade, we’re mobilizing everywhere else on June 14 — because there ain’t no kings in the USA. Join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

NEW FEDERAL EMPLOYEES MUST WRITE ESSAYS PRAISING TRUMP POLICIES.
Donald Trump becomes more like Stalin by the day. Like Stalin Trump is not only demanding loyalty to himself over country but is demanding new federal employees praise his vile policies. This is right out of Stalins playbook

As America is under attack from a fascist authoritarian despot, Scott Pelly issues a clarion call to graduates of Wake Forest. The Nazification of the US is unfolding under Trump and Project 2025 and America's youth is the last bulwark preventing autocracy.
