Authoritarians don’t get the last word That's why we are fighting back on every front.

"When authoritarian leaders destroy the symbols of democracy, they are preparing to destroy its substance. Their goal is to raise doubts about who this country belongs to, and make us believe that it doesn’t belong to us."

The harm is real: Black workers pushed out of jobs, HBCUs stripped of resources, Black mothers and fathers denied healthcare, and neighborhoods left without protection from floods, asthma, or poisoned water.

“The sharp increase in diversity has reduced the level of social trust essential for the functioning of a democratic polity,” according to one document.

The U.S. should only admit “refugees who can be fully and appropriately assimilate, and are aligned with the president’s objectives.”

Justice Dept. Official Pushes Prosecutors to Investigate George Soros’s Foundation

First Trump ordered baseless investigations of Tish James & Jim Comey--now it's OSF

The efforts to manufacture criminal charges vs OSF violate the rule of law, the 1st Amend. & fundamental Constitutional principles

We must speak out before it too late

What Kirk actually said matters The regime’s critics face retribution for accurately reflecting the conservative commentator's words.

JD Vance and others are gaslighting us with respect to Charlie Kirk’s blatantly racist arguments (among other things).

No one is defending Kirk’s shocking murder. Horrible.

That doesn’t mean we should let Vance and MAGA lie about Kirk’s own words though:

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Vance’s dangerous attack on free speech The vice president's justifications for this ideological abuse of government power are obviously false.

Charlie Kirk's murder was terrible

But so is Trump, Vance & cronies abusing that tragedy to attack innocent charities & groups of people

Hard data shows that the majority of political violence is committed by right-wing extremists👇

We won't be silenced! contrarian.substack.com/p/vances-dan...

Incredible. Trump drags the reputation of a highly regarded economist, first Black woman to be a Fed gov, thru the mud claiming she committed mortgage fraud. But the documents his appointee to run Fannie & Freddie got for him & that he said showed fraud don’t actually say that.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.
