Trump didn't win a majority of the popular vote last year. His fascist movement aims to make its dominance appear inevitable. It's not.

🔥🔥🔥 Today at immigration court 26 Federal Plaza this woman went ballistic to the masked ICE agents who detained her family member. Where are the people standing up to the Gestapo? I never saw this in 4 months I’ve been filming. 👏👏👏👏

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Here's the thing I don't understand. You can't as much as sneeze near a historic site in Washington without like 14 commissions, councils, and advisory boards giving you the okay. And everybody now is like...yup, fine with us? wtf?
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

There’s a reason Dr. King's historic 1963 rally was called “The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.”
As he warned the nation, "We all too often have socialism for the rich and rugged free market capitalism for the poor."
Real freedom requires economic freedom for all.

Law firms, stop doing deals with Trump! You and the judges are our last line of defense. If you don't stand together and create a wall of resistance, Trump will issue even more harmful and illegal orders, because he knows you're not going to defend us.
