Defeating Trump starts with "defeating" one fascist after another. Wherever they are, whatever their responsibilities are. Charlie was a good starts.

Trump wants to arrest Democrats.

What scares me the most is not just that history is repeating itself, but how many Americans can’t see that history is repeating itself.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

It's amazing how public officials who willingly go on TV to talk about these issues can claim ignorance about the very things they've come on to talk about, and it's treated like a legitimate answer.
