1/ "Democracy" is a founding principle of our nation. We are a democratic republic. MAGA repeatedly claims that the US is not "A" Democracy because we're a "Constitutional Republic".
Here's some information:
Look up the definition of "constitutional republic."

Trump's federal agents are terrorizing communities across America, but leaders like Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are fighting back.

Sounds like you haven't read any of my threads. Check them out. And the most important point here is that we're dealing with a real cult- so they're indoctrinated & unable to listen to anything we say- so talking to them does no good. It only further entrenches them. Share this.

Who is leading the opposition to Prop 50??

Not citizens. Not American voters. Just an anti-choice, anti-LGBTQ MAGA millionaire.

Stop the GOP election rigging.
Vote YES on Prop 50!

"The right loves the accounts, which often rail against supposed voter fraud.
They’re run by a Macedonian who illegally donated to a U.S. House candidate."

Yes indeed. MAGA doesn't care, even when they learn the truth.

Books are still being banned, but most remain on shelves thanks to heroes who refuse to bow to censorship.

Librarians, teachers, students, and readers everywhere are keeping the flame of free expression alive.
Stand with them.
Speak out.

Reminder that this baseless indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James is part of Donald Trump’s corrupt weaponization of the criminal justice system against anyone who has sought to hold him accountable.

We’re eight days away from #NoKings Day, and over 2,500 protests planned in all 50 states and across the world.

October 18 is going to be the biggest day of nonviolent protest in US history — because Courage is contagious.

If you are approached by federal agents: invoke your 5th Amendment right to remain silent, and your 6th Amendment right to counsel, by saying “I cannot answer any questions without my lawyer."
