Families are standing together to stop any attempt to weaponize our government against the people. Learn what the Insurrection Act allows, and what it does not. Read and share:

Across race and party, Americans value freedom. A MAGA power bloc serving billionaires is occupying communities, using police/military on families and weaponizing government to seize power. Families unite to Free America and demand leaders stop this assault on our freedoms, families, and future now.

From Raleigh to DC, these attacks are all connected and are part of a coordinated attempt to weaken democracy. But the people of NC β€” and USA β€” will not let our voices be silenced. We will defend the right to vote, the court's independence, and the checks and balances that make our democracy strong.

Trump is using the oldest authoritarian playbook: declare a false crisis, spread lies, then use it to grab power.North Carolina Republicans are doing the same β€” trying to rig maps, strip powers, and suppress votes because they fear losing fair election.

Trump and North Carolina Republicans are manufacturing chaos to seize permanent power. That’s not democracy β€” that’s dictatorship. The American people want safe, fair, and accessible elections β€” not fear, intimidation, and endless hurdles.

Together, these moves are part of the same authoritarian agenda: declare a false crisis, spread fear, and seize more power at the expense of the people.

Nationally, Trump has announced he will sign an Executive Order to eliminate vote-by-mail, replace voting machines with federally approved ones, and impose federal oversight of state elections. This is not reform β€” it’s an attempted hostile takeover of secure elections.

Republicans tried to steal Justice Riggs’s election, gerrymandered maps to entrench minority rule, stripped powers from Gov, and launched several attacks on judicial independence. Now, HB958 is their latest voter suppression attempt, aimed at making it harder for NCians to register and vote.

What we are seeing is not a series of isolated power grabs. It’s a coordinated attack on democracy β€” from Washington to Raleigh β€” designed to silence voters and dismantle the checks and balances that keep politicians accountable.

NCians: 60 seconds can protect your ballot. Moves or name changes can put you on the Registration Repair list and slow you at the polls. Check: ncsbe.gov/registrationrepair. If listed, repair with your NC license or DMV ID or last 4 of SSN. Tell a friend.

Rep. Harrison - HB 958 bans foreign nationals from influencing our electionsβ€”which is good policy. But how can we enforce that, when SB 416 just expanded dark money loopholes, making it even easier for foreign actors to pour money into our elex #ncpol #ncga

SB 416 - Baffilling - how can anyone ignore legal defense issue. It's the screaming headline. How do you not think the legal defense fund is not a problem? #ncpol #ncga

NC GOP has controlled NC's budget for over a decade. If there’s waste or fraud, it’s on their watch. Now, they want to pretend HB 549 is to fight β€œbig gov't” while handing sweeping authority to one partisan office #ncpol #ncga

Under Senate Bill 416, state contractors could anonymously fund the very lawmakers who award them contracts. That’s not privacyβ€”it’s a recipe for pay-to-play politics. #ncpol #ncga

North Carolina voters deserve more transparency β€” not less.
SB 416 would make it easier for political insiders to hide who’s funding their campaigns & court cases.
We must #ncpol #ncga

Sen. Daniels is wrong. SB 416 will give dark money more tools to hide. It's an ALEC model bill - created by an ALEC front group in 2018 after they were tired of us exposing the corrupt corporations behind the dark money #ncpol #ncga
