"T’s dictatorship is in the larval stage. It’s repulsive and frightening, but still vulnerable. If we stop taking up space, it will make it easier for it to expand and harden." katherinemaurer.substack.com/p/taking-up-...

Power and ultimate control. Canceling late-night shows. Silencing the press. Threats of war against U.S. cities. Using force against peaceful protesters and journalists. Now Trump is demanding Bondi prosecute his political opponent.

This one’s for all our Antifa ancestors 🇺🇸 #AntiFascist #Antifa #Resist

#Antifa runs in our blood.

Dear Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov, The American people are asking you to do one thing right now: refuse to fund an authoritarian regime. The issue is not healthcare—it’s authoritarianism. We, the people, recognize that. We need to know you do too. Prove it by fighting. Sincerely, The People

Ever since Donald Trump was declared the winner of the 2024 election, I have warned that he would use every tool and level of government to target his political opponents. Now it is happening. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Was happy to encounter the term "AI vegan," a new name for what I am doing abstaining from AI. Also, just sayin, you know what's really hard? Giving up cheese and eggs. What's not hard at all by comparison? Living without stuff that didn't exist three years ago. theconversation.com/ai-veganism-...

This hot mic Zuckerberg moment show their numbers are all lies, undercutting Trump’s entire economic agenda. In a rational world every media outlet would be leading with it.

As flagged by Democracy Docket, Mitchell recently appeared on a podcast where she highlighted a president’s ability to intervene in voting by citing a “threat to the national sovereignty of the United States.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

This is what democracy looks like! A people united will never be defeated. We want federal forces out of DC NOW! #WeAreAllDC #FreeDC

Important. Clear, concise, imperative. Please watch.

We all have a role to play in the fight for fair midterm elections. You can take action to defeat the Trump-MAGA Redistricting Coup from any state with our new toolkit. 👇

The behavior of the Texas legislature is a good reminder that we don't have a fascist president problem, we have a fascist party problem. Would be healthy to have a pro-democracy conservative party, but we don't.

Watch this. Apparently, police followed Rep Collier into the bathroom and threatened her with a FELONY for being on a press call with Senator Corey Booker and Governor Newsom.

It's easy to feel exhausted by the barrage of unconstitutional actions, shocking moral failings, and attacks on vulnerable people coming out of this Republican administration. But when you put them in the context of the authoritarian playbook, the story becomes more clear. 1/

"In fact, the best estimate is that we’re emitting carbon perhaps 10 times faster than even the mindless, undirected Siberian volcanoes that brought about the worst mass extinction ever." Read that again.

The definition of authoritarianism means there are more of us than there are of them. While MAGA tries to concentrate power in the hands of one man, we’re reminding every American of their own power to enact change. Join the One Million Rising training on Wednesday: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Wisdom from my time playing football.

Excited to host my gathering tonight!

It’s time to wake up - we are literally on the verge of losing our democracy if Donald Trump cheats his way to those seats in Texas.

The Voting Rights Act passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in 1965—and was reauthorized unanimously by Republicans and Democrats in 2006.

But oh, how times have changed.

Every Democrat supports the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

Republicans have a choice: our democracy or Trump.

“This is not a decision we make lightly, but it is one we make with absolute moral clarity"

Trump’s authoritarian regime is propped up by key pillars of support. We can crack those pillars by refusing to cooperate or comply with requests, demands or orders. Watch the full training: youtube.com/live/yqhFZjH... Join the campaign to train a million Americans: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

I remember when this happened.

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week. He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention. We cannot become immune to this cruelty.

What if we began to expect and accept the feeling that what we’re doing is not enough? What if this is a natural part of the experience of fighting for a better world? katherinemaurer.substack.com/p/nothing-wi...

Having the thought that the U.S. system of checks and balances is relatively well set up for one bad actor being elected President. It is less effective against a fascist movement taking over a major party and infiltrating all three branches. It's the Republican police state, not just Trump's.

GUARDIAN: “Migrants at a Miami immigration ICE jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates ‘like dogs’…” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Military service members are speaking out against President Trump's domestic deployment of federal troops to police protests and go after immigrants. If you're a veteran, active duty member, or a family member of someone in the Armed Forces, send a message to the Department of Defense.

ICE just got a 265% detention funding boost. Palantir software is being used to create the federal government’s first national citizenship data bank. The Trump regime is attacking naturalized citizens and birthright citizenship. Be warned — Trump’s police state is here.

Just attended this inspiring training www.youtube.com/watch?v=4496... and took the pledge to host a community gathering at www.nokings.org/rise. Just 10 people you already know, very attainable! #onemillionrising

TODAY: Learn the tools of strategic non-cooperation to fight authoritarianism. With institutions failing to meet the challenge, it falls to us to defeat fascism. We’re training one million Americans on leading peaceful non-compliance and disruption tactics. Join us: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Let’s be clear: a core tactic of President Trump’s Project 2025 is to convince people there is no way we can change our reality, or that any effort to resist extremists’ authority is hopeless. It’s a lie. We can – and we must – fight back.
