The Resistance to Trump and MAGA's Authoritarian Agenda is Growing

From boycotts to protests to community organizing, the majority, including many judges, are increasingly finding creative ways to resist Donald Trump's authoritarian agenda.

Every day, our feeds are refreshed with hellish news items that would have been considered implausible ten years ago.

That was before Donald Trump descended the staircase to announce his Presidential bid and ascended to the White House. He is the natural byproduct of America’s obsession with white supremacy and greed. He’s an avatar of this country’s worst sins and gluttony in orange, cankled flesh. He’s been used by a right-wing minority that is playing for white, Christian nationalism and the broligarchy, who want to crush opposition, weaken workers, and drink all of our milkshakes.

Thankfully, he is reckless, ignorant, and weakened. His Reeks fail to realize they are abhorrent to the majority around the world. The more Stephen Miller speaks, the more it harms the Trump Administration because Budget Goebbels can’t hide his freakish monstrosity and cruelty. Trump is officially underwater on immigration, the economy, and inflation. Nearly 60% of Americans oppose sending ICE and the National Guard to Chicago, California, DC, and Oregon. Our allies are turning away from America and creating economic partnerships with other countries. Measles is skyrocketing, and the job reports look bleak.

The majority is using their wallets to boycott companies, such as Disney and Sinclair, and proving the color green still trumps the color white. Jimmy Kimmel is back on air, and the upcoming No Kings rally is on track to be even bigger than the first one. Communities on the ground are helping each other and standing up to ICE, and even Trump-appointed judges aren’t here for the foolishness.
