Trump's All-Out Assault on American Democracy Has Begun
Trump's All-Out Assault on American Democracy Has Begun
Team Resist is a group of individuals that are determined and committed to stop Donald Trump’s dangerous authoritarianism. He has viciously and repeatedly inflamed peoples’ anger toward immigrants, religious minorities, and refugees. He has undermined or attacked individuals who publicly stand up to him and his imbecilic and treacherous policies. Trump has attacked our allies and embraced our enemies. He vows to take away the entitlements that we, as Americans, have paid for, and rely on to live. He has pledged to veto a national abortion ban and take away women’s reproductive rights. Trump has hired compliant buffoons that are not qualified for the job.
“The most important challenge now is for the opposition to be unified and strategic. Trump will be vulgar, irritating, impulsive, adolescent, narcissistic. The prospect of such a man wielding state power is terrifying,” says Robert Kuttner from the The American Prospect.
This dominance unsettles and destabilizes American democracy. Trump is a would-be authoritarian with a single overriding impulse — to help himself above all else. These are plans of an authoritarian and are not the strategies of the democracy we live in.
We must be strong. We must resist if we are to save our democracy for us and future generations.

“Don’t give into the lies. Don’t give into the fear. Hold onto the truth and to hope,” he said. “Even if you have to get out your phone, record that message, “I will not give into the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too.”

EXPLAINER: How Senate Democrats Can Delay & Defy Trump's Agenda with Procedural Hardball
Trump’s blitzkrieg power-grab begs a question: what, if anything, can congressional Democrats in the minority do? Are they powerless? Republicans in the Senate love to act like their majority gives them unchecked power—but it doesn’t. The rules of the Senate are designed to protect the rights of the minority, and Democrats have tools at their disposal to grind Senate business to a halt if Republicans try to ram through Trump’s extremist agenda. The three biggest weapons? Blanket opposition, quorum calls,and blocking unanimous consent—parliamentary guerrilla tactics that can slow, stall, and obstruct at every turn. Here’s how they work and why Democrats need to use them aggressively.

“The Trump Order that’s trying to push trans people back in the closet”
he order is the most widespread government intrusion into the private lives of trans people since gay sex was legalized in 2003
“With the stroke of a pen late Monday, freshly inaugurated President Donald Trump took trans rights back more than a decade by signing an executive order that, in essence, commands federal government agencies to stop recognizing the existence of trans people.
The message feels unimaginably cruel: Trump and his supporters want me and my fellow trans community to detransition, to retreat back in the closet out of fear.”

Fighting Back Trump Administration
Trump’s neofascism is here now. Here are 10 things you can do to resist
Robert Reich, The Guardian
America has deep problems, which is why we can’t give up. Protect the vulnerable, organize boycotts and keep fighting
In light of Trump II’s predictably cruel and bonkers beginning, many people are asking: “What can I do now?” Here are 10 recommendations.
1. Protect the decent and hardworking members of your communities who are undocumented or whose parents are undocumented
This is an urgent moral call to action. As Donald Trump’s Ice begins roundups and deportations, many good people are endangered and understandably frightened.
One of Trump’s new executive orders allows Ice to arrest undocumented immigrants at or near schools, places of worship, healthcare sites, shelters and relief centers – thereby deterring them from sending their kids to school or getting help they need.

Trump is destroying his own presidency — let’s finish the job
BY SVANTE MYRICK, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR - 05/05/25 10:30 AM https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/5280067-trump-100-days-poll/
The president’s approval rating hit a historic low, the economy was likely headed toward a recession, and majorities of Americans were feeling less optimistic about the future.
More people gave Trump’s first 100 days an “F” than any other grade, including about half of independents. People disapprove of Trump’s handling of just about every issue.
