Power to the People

As Donald Trump escalates his authoritarian power grab, the No Kings movement is rising stronger than ever. Across America, millions are uniting to remind the world that this nation has no thrones, no crowns, and no kings . From sending masked agents into our streets to silencing voters and enriching billionaires while families struggle, Trump’s regime and his accomplices have shown contempt for d...

Friends, I want to take you back in time and look closely at the photo you’re seeing.

The Courage of Ordinary People Stops Fascism — and It Starts with Us Fascism doesn’t arrive with fanfare or sudden violence. It creeps in quietly — through lies, fear, and apathy — eroding rights, silencing dissent, and consolidating power until resistance seems impossible. History has shown what happens when people wait too long to act. The cost of silence is always freedom. But good news: the mo...

Friends, It’s time we say what everyone knows but too few in power will admit: our system is rigged for billionaires. While working families pay taxes on every paycheck, the ultra-wealthy hoard unimaginable fortunes and pay less —sometimes nothing. How? Because our tax code lets billionaires live off borrowed money, stash their assets in shell companies, and pass them to their heirs without ever p...

Tear gas is a weapon of war. It is so dangerous to human health that its use is banned on the battlefield under international law. Yet in the United States, it continues to be used against our citizens — against people engaged in protest, civil disobedience, and exercising their First Amendment rights. This double standard should outrage us all. If it is too cruel for foreign battlefields, it is u...

Greedy, corrupt politicians are threatening to shut down our government to strip health care from millions, slash critical funding, and tighten authoritarian control. They want us to believe we are powerless. They are wrong. Our democracy survives only if we refuse to concede to Trump’s lawlessness, to billionaires’ greed, and to the politicians who would trade our health and freedoms for their ow...

The world is watching Gaza starve. In this episode, we confront the famine, the mass killings, and the U.S. silence. We call for an immediate cease-fire, full humanitarian access, an end to U.S. military aid until war crimes are investigated, and recognition of Palestinian nationhood. Feeding Gaza is the first step—dignity and statehood must follow. 🌟 Join activists powering the movement for prog...

America— when did the torch slip from your hand? When did the bell of liberty crack, and who pocketed the silence? Was it when President Trump raged at late-night comedians, calling for the termination of Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and every voice That dared to laugh? Was it when President Trump threatened his critics— including New York Attorney General Letitia James, James Comey, Jack Smith...

Today we pause our Political Violence Is a Threat to Us All series to honor Constitution Day —and sound the alarm. America’s founding promise begins with “We the People,” but Trump and today’s Republicans in Congress are twisting it into “We the Billionaires.” From stacking courts to criminalizing dissent, they exploit the very system meant to protect us, turning it into a fortress of greed and au...

Friends, political violence thrives on one poisonous lie: that ordinary people are powerless. The armed few want us to believe that democracy is fragile, that only force can shape the future, and that our voices are meaningless against their weapons. Power to the people is not a slogan; it is the operating system of a free society. The Constitution provides the framework; people provide the power...

Fossil Fuels Burn Our Planet—Solar Power Builds Our Future Friends, today America stands at a crossroads. One path is progress powered by the sun —clean, affordable energy that cuts bills, saves lives, and secures a livable planet. The other is rollback into oil and gas —a path that burns our communities, poisons our air, and locks us into billionaire profits while the planet overheats. The choice...

34-time convicted felon Donald Trump may have been elected the President of the United States of America, but he is no leader. In fact, almost 80 percent of people who call America home did not vote for Trump (People Power United). He disgraces the United States daily by clawing to power not to serve the people but to serve himself. Trump has been emboldened by the laziest and most corrupt Republi...
