Here’s a fact that no one wants to face: We are NOT going to be able to wait until the election in 2026 to stop that asshole from a total authoritarian take over of this country. The TX capitulation is proof of that.

Consider this. There are over 340 million Americans. 77 million of them voted for Trump. Over 60 million of these Trump voters were uneducated poor who fell for his propaganda. Less than 300 US billionaires spent billions to put him in office. It's up to the rest of us to fix this.

Choose Democracy had a very interesting update today on the Free DC Project. "...months ago, in a church packed with over 500 people—neighbors, activists, friends—Free DC led a role-play that resonates now: the National Guard trying to seize control of the D.C. Council. (I was one of the trainers.)"

"That was Free DC in action—ready before this crisis struck. Despite dissenters who thought their role-plays too extreme, they got a crew ready and their crew has led dozens of trainings and oriented thousands for action." [...]

I keep seeing this statement repeated over and over again online. But the one thing no one can answer is, what are we supposed to do about it?
