The seeds of Trumpâs destruction have already been sown. But none of this argues for complacency. We must continue to fight â demonstrate, phone your reps and senators, boycott corporations and organizations that cave in to tyranny, protect the vulnerable, make good trouble. @rbreich.bsky.social

Do one thing that gives you hope. Because hope is an action, a muscle that we need to exercise, in order to keep going and working for the country we want, not the country we have. @hoosiervictory.bsky.social @freedomoverfascism.bsky.social

Congress returns on Tuesday. Itâs critical that they return to a riled up electorate, angry constituents, & people demanding an end to Trumpâs agenda of sabotage, plunder and betrayal. Here are 4 things to contact your Senators and Reps about every day in September. @simonwdc.bsky.social

The win by Drey is no fluke. She did this not by pulling to the center, but by remaining unapologetically socially progressive and establishing the kind of combative stance the Democratic base has been demanding from its leaders. THIS is how we win back our country. @nycjayjay.bsky.social

If Stephen Miller and JD Vance want to believe that the older Americans who form the backbone of the resistance can be ignored, let them. It is a mistake they will live to regret. @rbhubbell.bsky.social

In defense of Miller and Vance, their remarks may have been scripted, and may have sounded less harsh in the original German.

This does not feel like a hopeful timeâquite the contrary. But the fact that you keep trudgingâespecially now, when so many have opted to tune out completelyâis the most hopeful thing imagineable. It is also the main reason we may survive this and move on to better times. @jesscraven101.bsky.social

In times like these, knowledge truly is power. To resist what Trump is doing, you need to know whatâs at stake. Itâs our duty to witness it, to share what we learn with others, to resist, to refuse to give up. Every small step we take counts. Donât give up. @joycewhitevance.bsky.social

It is a serious moment, but Trumpâs takeover of the Justice Department is not inevitable. Understanding what an investigation should look like and precisely how dangerous this one is puts us on the path to effective resistance, which is what itâs going to take. @joycewhitevance.bsky.social
