From the Nobel Committee today:

“Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted, but must always be defended – with words, with courage and with determination.”

THE BILLIONAIRES WHO BUILT THEIR EMPIRES IN A FREE DEMOCRACY NOW WANT TO SHUT THAT SYSTEM DOWN. Democracy gave them everything - stability, education, free thought, and a marketplace that rewarded innovation. But now that they've reached the top, they want to pull up the ladder and call it "efficiency." No invention, no rocket, no algorithm is worth sacrificing the system that made it possible. You don't burn the soil after the harvest - unless what you really want is ownership of the desert that remains. We see their arrogance for what it is — and we will not let it win.

I know you’re afraid and angry about what’s happening. It’s natural to feel that way when our democracy is under threat and you’re facing it with open eyes.

But fear and anger can be fuel to stand up and defend freedom against fascism. Channel your emotion into action. That’s how we win.🇺🇸

I get the frustration, it’s hard to watch so many people stay quiet when so much is at stake. But contempt doesn’t awaken courage; connection does.

Fear’s real, I get it. But despair and cynicism only feed the thing we’re fighting. Courage isn’t the absence of fear, it’s deciding to act anyway. And it always starts small, then spreads

It’s time to rise, in unity.
And it’s time to walk on Washington.

Democracy is not defended by waiting. It’s defended by standing, speaking, and acting, together. 🇺🇸

The rhetoric of ‘war on the enemy within’ is an authoritarian warning sign. History shows where this can lead, but history also shows that organized, nonviolent resistance, legal pushback, and public courage can break even powerful regimes. The outcome is not fixed.

A BLUEPRINT FOR SUCCESS TO RESIST AUTHORITARIANISM, AND BUILD A JUST DEMOCRACY. 🇺🇸
BLUEPRINT FOR SUCCESS - TO RESIST AUTHORITARIANISM AND BUILD A JUST DEMOCRACY, MOVEMENTS NEED CLARITY, DIVERSITY, UNITY, AND DISCIPLINE. THESE FOUR PILLARS MAKE RESISTANCE UNBREAKABLE. 1. CLARITY OF PURPOSE • DEFEND ELECTIONS AND DEMOCRATIC NORMS. • PROTECT RIGHTS AND JUSTICE. • END EXECUTIVE ABUSES. • ADVANCE FAIRNESS AND CLIMATE ACTION. CLEAR GOALS RALLY PEOPLE AND MAKE VICTORIES MEASURABLE. 2. MANY PATHS OF ACTION • MARCHES, VIGILS, BOYCOTTS, STRIKES. • ART, MEDIA, AND CULTURE.• LAWSUITS AND CIVIC ORGANIZING. • NO SINGLE TACTIC CAN BE CRUSHED IF THE MOVEMENT HAS MANY ARMS. 3. UNITY IN DIVERSITY • STUDENTS, UNIONS, FAITH GROUPS, CIVIL RIGHTS ORGS. • RURAL + URBAN, YOUNG + OLD, ACROSS RACE AND CLASS. • GLOBAL SOLIDARITY ADDS PRESSURE. BROAD COALITIONS ARE HARDER TO ISOLATE OR DEMONIZE. 4. MORAL HIGH GROUND • NONVIOLENCE = STRENGTH. • PEACEFUL DEFIANCE DRAWS ALLIES.• VISIBILITY ENSURES THE WORLD CAN'T LOOK AWAY. • VIOLENCE SHRINKS SUPPORT; DISCIPLINE EXPANDS IT. 4 WHEN MOVEMENTS ARE CLEAR, DIVERSE, UNITED, AND DISCIPLINED, THEY NOT ONLY OUTLAST REPRESSION - THEY BEND HISTORY TOWARD FREEDOM.
