President Trump's sanctions against the International Criminal Court are preventing Americans from helping the court prosecute the gravest international crimes.
Our clients are suing the Trump administration because the First Amendment protects speech that aids the ICC's work.

How sanctions imposed by Trump are taking a toll on the International Criminal Court
The International Criminal Court, or ICC, only intervenes when national courts can't or won't prosecute crimes like genocide and crimes against humanity. But after the Trump administration sanctioned several members of the court this year, Americans trying to prosecute some of the world's worst crimes at the ICC are discovering those sanctions are preventing them from doing that.

Like the Koch brothers and other conservative billionaires, Dunn and Wilks want to slash regulations and taxes.
Their endgame, however, is more radical: not just to limit the government but also to steer it toward Christian rule.

Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

Here’s what’s at stake in the shutdown:
If Republicans get their way, 50,000 Americans will die unnecessarily every year.
15 million will lose their health care.
20 million will see their premiums double.
All so they can give a trillion dollar tax break to the 1%.

This is an important reminder that we are in fact the majority.
An annual big-sample survey from PRRI finds that two-thirds of Americans believe the U.S. is headed in the wrong direction.
Even among Republicans, a significant share — nearly 30% — gave Trump low marks on the economy and how the government is functioning.

This kind of thread is important for people to see. While shit is bad, we aren't losing on the grand scale. We will make it through this regime and the data bears this out.
When people talk about this 3.5% rule, remember that dictator regimes have fallen for much less.
However, for the No Kings protect on Saturday, reaching 8.2 million (2.4%), is not what's most important. Look at Minneapolis and Washing DC:
29.41% and 25.81%
This is CRUSHING numbers.
