Most Americans are genuinely good people, regardless of their political affiliation.
So when the White House says horrible things to make you hate your neighbor, the White House IS THE PROBLEM.

They're kidnapping people off the street and sending them to a prison in El Salvador known for torturing and killing prisoners. And the Supreme Court says that's OK. Maybe focus on that?
While markets plunge and retirement accounts reel from Trump’s tariffs:
Elon and DOGE are taking a blowtorch to Social Security
They shut down local offices
They shut down phone services
They shut down website services
And now they’re proposing another round of mass layoffs

Less complaining about how big rallies don't do anything, more brainstorming about how to activate their attendees to get involved with targeted campaigns, direct action, and mutual aid.
