We can fix this. We know the fascist playbook and we’re seeing it play out right in front of us. We can’t have our representatives sit on the sidelines during this coup. We need leadership with the guts to stop this coup, and to beat fascism for good by building an economy that works for everybody.

This image shows a stack of six lightning bolts nearly striking the same spot six time in only one minute of elapsed time! Mother nature really had it out for whoever was down there... #photography

A sculpted, layered LP supercell at night. The structure is illuminated by six lightning strikes hitting the ground to the right of the storm. A clear, starry night sky is on the left of the storm. A car's headlights can be seen in the distance.

Trump and Stephen Miller want us afraid. They want us divided. But we are building this movement together, across race, class, and geography, and we know that’s the only way to win.

We’re not backing down. We’ll see you in the streets on October 18.
