There are 340 MILLION OF US.

Don’t you dare get despondent.

STAND UP.

And go GET YOUR COUNTRY BACK.

Please.

Let us not cower. This is all absolutely ridiculous.

Come on now.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

🏔️🏔️can’t wait!!!

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents.

But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

Kudos to Stephen Colbert on his Emmy win last night. It was a pleasure chatting with him a few weeks ago on The Late Show about how rampant inequality has brought us to this moment in American history — and what we can do to fix our politics.

Ezra Levin on Bluesky: “Rarely does this regime give such a compliment to the folks fighting back. Please work to make this courage contagious: nokings.org”

Organizing still works.

No matter where you live, the pro-democracy majority is organizing near you: indivisible.org/groups

Or let us help you get started: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

And join the nationwide day of peaceful protests on 10/18: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

To review: an apparent right wing civil war between white Christian nationalist Groypers and white Christian nationalist college campus activists results in the murder of a leader of the latter; and that will now spark a 1930s-style putsch against liberals by the fascists who run the country.

My floor speech yesterday:

1/ The rules change Republicans are pushing through the Senate - to confirm dozens of Trump nominees with one vote - is another sign of our vanishing democracy, as the legislative branch voluntarily bends the knee to the executive.

Trump Is a Weak and Failing President, and It’s Time to Say So It’s possible for Trump to be an inept buffoon—but still extremely dangerous. And it shouldn’t be so hard to make that case.

Trump expressly wants his executive orders to be understood as monarchical edicts unbound by parliamentary limits. He regularly runs his performance on issues through this strong-versus-weak frame.

But reality is shattering the illusion. trib.al/fwN0usu

Trump relentlessly runs his messaging through a strong-versus-weak frame, yet many voters expressly do not see the tariffs as an act of strength.

Instead, they view him as being “reckless”—he’s floundering around wildly, aimlessly, and destructively. trib.al/po9sW4P

“No Kings” unveils a big new Trump protest on October 18 to respond to Trump’s authoritarian escalations.

“You don't occupy cities just because it's fun. This is all ratcheting up.”

I know political memories are short, but damn! In July, Schiff joined Republicans to pass the industry-friendly crypto bill that allowed Trump to take in more crypto bribes.

The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

They want us fighting so we never notice who is stealing from us all. Don’t get lost in the circus.

Over a quarter of all homes sold in the first three months of 2025 were bought by real estate investors.

If we want to make housing affordable again, we must get Wall Street out of our homes. https://youtu.be/q9TOGxDJ0TE?feature=shared

Trump’s Takeover of D.C. Is Not a Distraction. It’s the Whole Point. Yes, his approval rating is tanking and he’s still trying to shake the Epstein scandal. But he’s been foreshadowing this authoritarian power grab for years—and yet Democrats still weren’t ready for it.

From redistricting to the District of Columbia, we are facing a bona fide fascist takeover of the United States.

People are constantly asking me — what can I do? Between now and the 2026 midterm elections, here are five practical steps you can take to make a difference.

Here, fixed it.

YouTube video by Robert Reich How YOU Can Fight Back Against Trump

Millions have hit the streets to protest Trump’s authoritarianism — but marching isn’t enough on its own.

Here are five steps you can take to make a difference.

Six Republican-led states sending National Guard troops to D.C. under the guise of a fake crisis.

Texas Republicans using police to impose a rigged map on Texans and steal an election.

Congressional Republicans funneling taxpayer dollars into kidnappings and concentration camps.

This is fascism.

They’re Not Just Coming for DEI. They’re Coming for Democracy. Destroying DEI has a clear motive: to stop Americans from seeking common cause.

From the Supreme Court to state legislatures, cable news to college campuses, we’re witnessing a coordinated campaign to undermine key pillars of American democracy. Its aim is clear: deny dignity, silence dissent, and dismantle progress. Read my piece in @thenation.com: bit.ly/4fL82rZ

Trump Says He Wants to Get Rid of Mail-In Ballots

Forget that voting by mail was originally pushed by Repubs, or that this is obviously illegal and unconstitutional.

Trump is signaling he will try to interfere with the integrity of the 2026 elections. We must fight back. Our democracy is at stake. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/u...

So hang on…. Trump is going to offer to open up FUKKIN ALASKA TO THE RUSSIANS??

Wow. Let’s see republicans defend this

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Authoritarianism is here. 🇺🇸

(To distract from his Epstein files cover-up)

Trump doesn't care about crime in D.C. — which is at a 30-year low. He's creating another fake "emergency" in an attempt to show force. If he actually cared about keeping the city safe, he wouldn't have stoked insurrectionists to attack the Capitol on Jan 6. Hello?
