Trump is weak at home, and he can be stopped ā so long as the domestic political logic of foreign intervention is recognized and turned against him. This act of war is about regime change in the United States. It only succeeds if Americans allow it to do so.

Itās Thanksgiving. Perhaps you can make someone else give thanks? See below a fundraiser for Dawn Ruprecht, who has incurred legal fees after being targeted by a book banning extremist out to get librarians. Please help.

Trump threatened lawmakers ā specifically six veterans-turned-lawmakers ā for telling our troops to follow the constitution. Itās on us to demand every elected official condemn his calls for political violence. Protect our reps, veterans, and troops.

Authoritarian systems rely on silence. But people are paying attention. Every voice raised, every truth shared, chips away at the control. Change doesnāt come from hope alone, it comes from action rooted in awareness. And that starts with us.
