Wow. No freedom of speech. No freedom of the press. No freedom in America. Whether you identify as left, middle or right you should be against what is happening here. Democracy is being chipped away piece by piece and replaced with an authoritarian government. The time to speak up is now. 🚨

More than five million Americans in over 2,100 towns and cities joined us today to say we don't do kings in this country. Thank you for making it clear that we won't be ruled by fear.

Condemn Trump’s Use of National Guard and Military Against Americans β­‘ 5 Calls On Friday, June 6th, hundreds of residents rallied in downtown Los Angeles to protest ICE immigration raids of local businesses to target migrant …

Let's be clear, Trump's memo authorizes the National Guard and active duty troops to protect federal immigration officers *wherever* protests β€œare likely to occur."

He's not just coming for LA, he's coming for any threat to his fascist agenda.

Call your Reps & Governors.

Not you. Not your family. Not your community.

Just Trump, Elon, and their billionaire buddies.

Lower Bills, Cleaner Air: Heat Pump Benefits for Homes Relying on Delivered Fuels - RMI Four reasons why it makes sense for homes still heating with oil or propane to switch to heat pumps and how policymakers can help make it happen.

An excellent RMI summary of the benefits, climate and otherwise, of switching from delivered fossil fuels like oil and propane to heat pumps.

The map included in this RMI summary shows that New York State is the epicenter of this opportunity.

To Help Growers and the Grid, Build Solar on Farmland, Research Says

Devoting a small fraction of U.S. farmland to solar power would be a boon both for the energy system and for farmers themselves, new research finds.

If you haven't made a call yet or joined a protest, now would be the time to start. Please make an emergency call to your representatives today. Keep them going all week. Here is a sample script. You can also create your own script or use @5calls.org tool for more phone scripts and calls to make.

Scoop: Top Senate Dems propose emergency Social Security payment boost The Social Security Emergency Inflation Relief Act is a brainchild of the caucus's Social Security War Room.

Donald Trump’s disastrous on-and-off tariffs are giving cover for companies to jack up prices and evaporating people’s retirement savings.

Millions of seniors are on fixed incomes. They can’t wait for relief.

Senate Democrats have a plan to help right now.

President Trump and Elon Musk have already laid off about 10% of NOAA’s staff, and no one knows how far DOGE plans to go. These cuts have immediate and rippling effects on our ability to understand, manage, and respond to environmental crises. πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.

Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.

That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

It's Fascism 101.

The Constitution is clear: the President can't arrest people he disagrees with.

By detaining Mahmoud Khalil β€” a legal permanent resident whose American wife is 8-months pregnant β€” Donald Trump seeks to undermine basic freedoms.

We must oppose this move toward authoritarianism.

Tech's dystopian plans for "freedom cities" expose why Musk wants to end government by the people Tech's dystopian plans for "freedom cities" expose why Musk wants to end government by the people

Musk doesn't seem worried that he and Trump threaten social and economic collapse. On the contrary, it appears that's his goal.

Musk swims in a tech-fascist ideology that believes democracy should be replaced by billionaire dictators β€” like himself.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to β€œthe left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

No Dem Senator has to follow Schumer here. This is a weak stategic move driven by fear and learned helplessness. Don't follow him. He's leading the party into irrelevance and helping Trump and Musk in the process.

Call your Dem Senators and ask them not to join Schumer's surrender tomorrow.
