Trump recently signed an executive memo targeting ActBlue, the fundraising platform used by much of the progressive ecosystem (including us) and the entire Democratic Party. This is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. Trump wants to crush the resistance to his autocratic agenda.

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding.
We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE.

We are not a nation of hate. We are however, a nation where the hate is loud and in charge. We can not be complacent, we can not give up. Each of us cannot do all the things but we all must do something. Find your thing, dig deep for your strength and fight back.

When we come out the other side of this and the history books have a chapter (or twenty) I firmly believe the guys first term will be determined to be the set up phase and we missed it, but to me, it looks pretty obvious now.
