Trump's words aren't just reckless - they're dangerous. From “stand by” to “vermin,” he's inciting violence, not leading. We must reject this authoritarian playbook and stand up for democracy, decency and peace. #Indivisible #DemocracyNotViolence

Real emergencies: Legal U.S. residents taken by masked ICE agents. Political critics like Judge Dugan face bogus arrests. 150+ judges call it a threat to judicial independence. This isn’t justice. Stay vigilant. #RuleOfLaw #Indivisible #DueProcess

Hey Resisters of Fascism! Here's my one action today. I'm calling my buddy John Fetterman to oppose the SAVE Act, which is a poorly disguised attempt to limit voting and keep extremists in power. It's a fake ploy to support our existing monarchy.

Here's my script:

Hey Resisters of Fascism! My one action today was to again call on PA's AG Dave Sunday to demand that he act against Elon Musk in his illegal access of personal data and government systems. In PA, you can reach Dave Sunday at 717-787-3391.

Hey Resisters of Fascism! My one act of resistance today is to sign up for The Smile: Good News for Progressives. It delivers "wins" to my inbox twice a week and gives me a needed energy boost to keep resisting tyranny!

Hey Resisters of Fascism! My one action today was to send a message to Congress telling them to *protect birthright citizenship* as a Constitutional right, with this easy form on ACLU’s website:

Protect birthright citizenship
President Trump is seeking to deny citizenship to countless children born in the U.S. Take action with the ACLU to fight back.

Hey Resisters of Fascism, here's my one action for today - I called Sen. Bill Cassidy at 202-224-5824 and urged him not to confirm RFK Jr. for HHS. I also contacted Fetterman and McCormick.

Trump fired 400 FAA senior officials, the TSA head, and 3,000 air traffic controllers just 8 days ago. Policy choices have consequences.

Today, American Airlines Flight 5342 collided with a Blackhawk over the Potomac, killing 65 Americans.

This is the Trump #PlaneCrash  #AA5342

Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow. We must recognize the resisters, the courageous who are fighting back.

We are in the days of shock & awful, where Trump tries to make people feel so overwhelmed by all the rapid changes & actions that they quit trying to keep up. Don't give into that. Learn about what you have the bandwidth for. Understand that these are steps being taken to break down democracy.

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.

Support the ACLU in its efforts to contain the madman running our country. At the very least, use its tools to let Congress know our position on birthright citizenship (and more), and if you can, financially support their efforts.

President Trump announced an executive order that attempts to deny citizenship for countless children born on U.S. soil.

Tell Congress: Protect birthright citizenship.

If you’re on Facebook, check your list of follows. It appears that Facebook set users to automatically follow Trump and you have to actively unfollow him.

Just waiting to hear about how his social media following is bigger than anyone’s. Ever. Ask anyone. Biggest dupe ever.
