1) This is who they are.
Stop pretending otherwise.
Stop making excuses for people who knew exactly what they were voting for: fascism.

"ALEC creates “model bills” that undermine our rights, then have state lawmakers introduce them almost word-for-word as real legislation that often becomes law, weakening our democracy and enriching ALEC’s corporate donors at our expense." ~ Common Cause

When we don’t show up, we leave entire communities without a choice. That's not fighting for democracy. The Democratic Party must fight for and support democracy in EVERY race on the ballot.

No race should be left behind.

As the #1 NYT bestselling author of 21 novels, Ellen Hopkins has given voice to the struggles that shape us. But with fearless storytelling comes censorship. Three of her books ranked among the 11 most banned titles in 2022–2023.

How do we stop the fascist train? Organize at the local level, continue to put pressure on ALL Republican elected officials NOT just members of Congress. Every single Republican who has been elected to office. Hold them accountable for their party. #FightFascism

Why does Project 2025 go after public libraries and librarians? It is one step in their agenda of bringing down public associations, unions, and educational systems. #EveryLibrary #FightFascism
