Trump Dismantles Laws That Protects Your Rights

 


Excerpt from an article, a MUST-READ:

Hussein Hallak

"By the time you finish reading this, Trump’s movement will have dismantled another law that protects your rights, and Democrats will still be in a meeting trying to figure out what to do.
It’s an organized, calculated assault designed to cripple democracy, and it's working.


Step by step, they’re following a ruthless strategy to sabotage their opposition:


Step 1: Cut off the money.

Step 2: Destroy legal defense.

Step 3: Tear down oversight.

Step 4: Control the media narrative.

Step 5: Flood the system with chaos.


And what’s worse?  They told us they were going to do this.  Trump’s allies announced their plan.  Project 2025 wasn’t a secret. They’ve been shouting their strategy from the rooftops, and Democratic leadership is still fumbling in the dark with no counterplan!

That’s why it's not enough to focus on your next vote it will be too late by then. That’s why it’s not enough to “just vote.” By the time you show up at the ballot box, it's already over!

So what can we do?

Stop waiting for politicians to save you.
Stop hoping the media will fix this.
Stop pretending someone else is going to figure it out.

We build our own systems, NOW.


- Fund new platforms. If they destroy ActBlue, we'll build something better.
- Support independent media. Back those who tell the truth.
- Defend key institutions. The courts, the agencies, and the regulators.
- Flood the system with truth. Expose the manipulation, break down false claims.

We need leadership that’s ready to act. Don't wait. Act now.

Subduing and Controling Women in Alabama



An Abhorrent Law - Let's vote Republicans out...
Why you all want to control our bodies, I will never ever know.Alabama state Sen. Vivian Davis Figures (D)
Figures, one of just four women in the Alabama Senate, told her Republican counterpart that there isn’t a single law in the country that decides “what a man can or cannot do with his body.” She also acknowledged she isn’t sure whether she would get an abortion herself, but said she believes it should up to women to make their own decision. 
“I will have to be honest with you: I praise God every day that I was never, ever put in that situation to make that choice,” Figures said. “I don’t know what choice I would have made. I really don’t. And that is why I so firmly believe that it should be a woman’s choice, that a woman knows what she’s up against, she knows what she has to do ― whether she can or cannot provide for that child.”
“You are playing God, in my opinion, because you’ve already decided what needs to be done,” she added. “You all don’t rule the world. I mean, you may think you do, but you don’t.”
