I was a counterprotester on January 6. Holding an anti-Trump sign outside the Capitol, I was assaulted. I witnessed the rioters carrying weapons and shouting in unison about murdering Congress.

January 6th was not a peaceful protest. It was a violent coup attempt by Trump supporters. Never forget.

Remember when President Biden hugged this precious little boy whose father was shot in the Parkland shooting?

This is our President. πŸ™πŸ’™

This is why we love him so much. πŸ₯°

Trump isn't threatening Beyonce, Springsteen, Bono, and Oprah because he expects them to be charged with anything.
He is threatening them to intimidate others from speaking up. That is because Trump fears your voice; he fears the power of the people.

Speak up.
Stand strong.
Organize.

Our greatest complement straight from the rat’s mouth of Proud Boy Enrique Tarrio in 2022:

β€œThe Miami right wing political scene has come to a screeching halt… I hate to say this, but the Miami Antifash page has been extremely effective at doing what it set out to do, which is disrupt.”

The most pathetic part about neck beard Proud Boy Enrique Tarrio & his five person β€œOperation Tesla Shield” counter protest: He drove 80+ miles to Del Rey Beach and West Palm so he could bypass the Fort Lauderdale protests that have 4-500 ppl every weekend.

Imagine having to hire the proud boys because you are so desperate, despite being the richest man in the world. This proves that #TeslaTakedown and all other protests are working..

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

Pathetic attempt by Enrique Tarrio and a handful of Proud Boys in Del Ray Beach today to boot lick for billionaire Elon Musk and mess with Tesla protesters.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

When I was 17, I opened my first checking account w/a couple hundred bucks. I didn’t meet the min monthly deposit, so they kept charging fees until I owed them money. It stuck with meβ€”I still won’t bank w/BofA.

There’s no upside to this move for anyone who isn’t richβ€”just cruelty for cruelty’s sake

Side by side there's no mistaking what he did, yet the ADL ignored it. So infuriating and appalling

Trump’s Attack on the Department of Education, Explained | ACLU The Trump administration just put millions of students’ education and civil rights at risk by closing key Department of Education offices and firing half of its workforce.

By gutting the Department of Education, President Trump is again trying to undermine Congress' authority β€” this time putting the education and civil rights of millions of students at risk.

Congress must take action.
