We don’t say this lightly: the threat to democracy is growing, and we cannot allow the barrage of news to distract us from defending our rights.
This week, Trump’s team walked out on critical Ukraine peace talks, signaling their willingness to reward Vladimir Putin’s illegal invasion and abandon our global allies. And back home? They’re defying the Supreme Court and illegally deporting innocent people, like Kilmar Abrego Garcia, in direct violation of a federal court order.
This isn’t just recklessness. It’s authoritarianism.
Trump and his MAGA allies are ignoring the rule of law, undermining our institutions, and cozying up to dictators — all while targeting immigrants and scapegoating communities of color.
This is a moment of crisis. And just like generations of civil rights leaders before us, we must rise to meet it together.
We’re building coalitions. We’re taking action in the courts. We’re standing up in Congress. But grassroots support powers every step of the fight.
