Yes!
Yesterday, Trump targeted me at a speech be the Department of Justice. If he thinks it will cause me to back down he is wrong. My law firm is currently litigating 46 pro-democracy cases in 21 states, with more to come.

We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.

Condescension and exasperation won't work in defeating Trump, Vance, Musk, and their collaborators in the private sector, lower levels of government, and in academia.

Neither has worked. In fact, condescension and even exasperation led to defeat.

We need those who don't exhibit that arrogance.

"Collaborators." ----Jay Inslee, former governor of Washington

It's a perfect word for those to whom it applies....

Silence is also collaboration.

Don't let the media isolate Musk so much as THE problem and as the anchor on Trump's decreasing favorables that when/if Trump rids himself of Musk, Trump gets a clean slate of public equity that allows him to continue to weaken the government, federal law enforcement, national security.

Just weeks after then HUD Secretary nominee Scott Turner told Senator Raphael Warnock that he would "become more well studied" on home appraisal bias, the Trump administration has cut the HUD agency that fights racial discrimination in home appraisals.

Elon Musk’s secretive 20-something DOGE minions reviewing federal agencies for cuts are refusing to reveal their full names to civil servants, federal employees say.

Trump seems to have announced that his MAGA government will create policy around removing millions of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, forcing them out, taking over the land, and build it into a casino dominated "riviera."

WTF? Unacceptable.

Media, pundits, & people, don't exasperate, activate!

Congress must take action to restore the rule of law.

So, Musk and his boys have illegally gained access to Americans' personal information?

By what legal authority have they done this? Are there background checks on these unofficial Trump employees to secure proper use of this personal information as background checked government employees must be?

Lying about federal employees so that Americans dislike them enough to agree with it, Trump and oligarch Musk want to illegally remove federal employees from their posts so that they can install Trump/Musk/MAGA loyalists?

So, they want to weaken our country while firing hard working Americans?

Trump, Musk, Patel, Bannon, Vance, et al. want to illegally purge Federal Bureau of Investigation agents because these agents did their jobs investigating coup leaders, insurrectionist violence, and corruption.

The FBI protects us from foreign and domestic threats.

So, Trump wants to hurt us?

Donald Trump is a bully who will destroy the entire country to protect his fragile ego. Bullies are weak people who prey on others they perceive to be vulnerable. That’s why it’s critical to stand up and fight back.

Venezuelans in South Florida feel “betrayed” that Trump broke his campaign promise not to deport documented immigrants with temporary protected status (TPS). Miami-Dade County is 69% Hispanic, but Trump won the county by 10 points in November.

We tried to warn them. 🤷🏾‍♂️

There are so many ways that the media spins in favor of Trump.

Last week, I heard one of the anchors (maybe Chris Jansing) open an hour with something to the affect of "Trump is blazing through his agenda." Well, that sounds dangerous to some and exciting to others. Calculated both sidesism.

I'm pleased to see some coverage on Ari Melber and now Alex Wagner regarding the situation in South Korea, a key American ally in east Asia.

Over decades, it's always frustrating to watch pundits say something different from what they said just weeks ago. This is why they lose trust. What is REALLY frustrating is their NOW saying what some have always said while the pundits lacked perspective to listen. Need to break the echo broadly.
