Tonight, Joe Biden will give a speech touting his successes, and in many ways he did an admirable job. But he never left the alternate reality of the establishment, and protected “norms and institutions” instead of us.

4️⃣ Support nonprofits that've been pivotal in advancing civil rights and protecting American democracy.

3️⃣ Demand accountability. Trump and his allies will test their limits.
Pressuring your Senators and Representative matters, even if they support Trump: write them, call them, join town halls.
Show elected officials that their job is to serve the people, not to serve one man’s anti-freedom agenda.

H.R. 9495 (the bill that would give Trump unchecked power to go after his political opponents) has moved to the Senate after being passed by the House.
Since Democrats still control the Senate, the real risk is that the bill gets attached to another piece of must-pass legislation.
