Dear Friend,
Tomorrow, Americans are taking to the streets for the “No Kings” protests—and the Trump regime is terrified.
You can see their fear playing out right now. They respond to peaceful assembly with threats of militarized force, threatening organizers, and heavy-handed tactics in cities where large turnouts are expected. They use harsh, aggressive language and threats because they want to project strength. But the truth is the opposite: their actions are the last gasp of a dying breed.
They want you to believe that the handful of officials issuing threats represents a powerful majority of this country. We know that is a lie.
The vast, confident majority of Americans stand firmly against a racist, misogynist, authoritarian future for our great country. The pro-democracy movement isn’t weak or small; it’s a patriotic, sweeping force celebrating the truest values of America: our First Amendment rights to assemble and dissent. We have the numbers, the momentum, the duty, and the moral high ground.
Now is our moment to shift the perception. We need to stop reacting to their fear and start acting with our own, unshakeable confidence. We need to walk the streets with swagger, proudly and patriotically displaying our dissent, and act like we are the majority–because we are.
Let’s face the facts: When a government has to resort to threats, violence, and violating its own laws to show its strength, that means it’s losing.
This is where we need your help.
The perception of power is the administration’s most dangerous weapon. By upgrading your free subscription to Lincoln Square today, you directly fund the important insights and analysis that we all need to be smarter and more proactive in our fight against fascism. But most importantly, you’re also helping shift the narrative about who is weak and who is strong in this moment. This vulgar display of power by the Trump administration only shows how weak they are and how strong we are. Now we need to act like it. Here’s how:
When you upgrade to a paid subscription, a portion of the revenue this month will be used to:.
Amplify the Majority: Tomorrow, we’ll have video and images from the nationwide “No Kings” protests. Your subscription upgrade will help us turn this protest footage into powerful tools to use against this regime, showing millions of Americans footage of millions more of their fellow Americans standing up to Trump. You can help make it clear to the Trump regime and its supporters that we, in the pro-democracy movement, outnumber them and we are NOT afraid.
Expose the Weakness: We will shine a light on the overreach and desperation behind the administration’s heavy-handed tactics, the threats, the lies, and put out content that explains that these are actions that a government takes when it’s lost control and knows that its policies not only hurt its citizens, but they’re illegal too.
Frame the Narrative: We will continue telling the truthful story that pro-democracy is patriotic, while their authoritarianism is un-American. Help us frame that dissent against the violation of our rights under the Constitution is not violent, nor is it extreme. It’s our duty as Americans to defend it–and that’s what patriots do. To stand up against fascism is to be an American.
