While the headlines scream chaos thanks to the Trump regime, something else is happening—we’re winning. Teachers fought for health care and won. Courts blocked Trump’s authoritarianism. And his voter fraud lies just got demolished by new audits.
This week proved that resistance isn’t just fighting back—it’s going on offense and securing real victories. Thanks for being here. Let’s dive in.
San Francisco teachers ended their strike this week with an enormous victory. Their new agreement includes fully funded family health care, higher pay, and a lower caseload for special educators.
A union statement read: “This historic strike built an unbreakable solidarity across our city … [We] made it clear what is possible when we join together and fight.”
SEIU leader David Huerta, who was wrongfully arrested by the Trump regime during a labor protest last year, said it’s time to “go on offense.”
“I refuse to bend that knee. I refuse to be silent,” Huerta stated. “The people right now who are in the crosshairs of this administration are going to be the heroes of this democracy.”
Huerta didn’t stop there: “Trump … smashes [the system] … he builds it back the way he wants it … And unless we’re willing to be bold, we’re going to find ourselves out of that equation.” Huerta said that, at this point, a general strike must be considered.
Turns out the real threat to Trump’s oligarchy isn’t taxes—it’s the workers who refuse to kiss his ring.
Trump’s lie that millions of noncitizens are fraudulently voting and swinging elections was once again debunked—this time by five red state audits.
Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, and Utah audited millions of voters and found almost no actual instances of voting by noncitizens. Even the Cato Institute—a libertarian think tank—is calling out Trump’s lies.
The findings here are important, since Trump uses conspiracy theories to justify voter suppression laws like the SAVE Act. PA Gov. Josh Shapiro warned: “It’s designed to nationalize our elections,” adding: “We are not going to turn our elections over to Donald Trump.”
That’s why we launched our massive campaign to push back against the bogus SAVE Act. This week alone, we generated hundreds of millions of impressions on social media and drove thousands of calls and letters to Congress.
The truth is, the only real frauds are Trump and Republicans who are going along with this scam.
When the Trump regime tried to cut $600 million in public health funding from California, Massachusetts, New York, and Washington, they didn’t just complain—they immediately sued. And a judge already stepped in to restore the funding.
But that wasn’t Trump’s only loss in court this week.
A federal judge also blocked Trump’s attempt to revoke Temporary Protected Status for families from Honduras and Nepal, saving them from deportation for now.
Another court ruled that HHS can’t share data with ICE, halting the regime’s “deportation by data” scheme—which is weaponizing health care records against immigrant families in the US.
And in Pennsylvania, a judge threw out a GOP challenge to mail-in ballots. One of many underhanded plots Republicans are toying with now, which makes no sense—as it would hurt their voters too.
While Trump tries to rule by frivolous executive orders and bullying, courts keep handing him big losses that are protecting people from serious harm. Good.
At the Munich Security Conference this week, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez delivered a scathing rebuke of Trump on the world stage.
AOC said the Trump regime is “looking to withdraw the US from the entire world so that we enter an age ... where Donald Trump can command the Western Hemisphere and Latin America as his personal sandbox, where Putin can saber rattle across Europe … and where authoritarians essentially control their own geographic domains.”
“It is our global alliances that can serve as a hard stop against authoritarian consolidation of power, particularly in the installation of regional puppet governments,” AOC said.
CA Gov. Gavin Newsom was also pretty blunt: “Never in the history of the United States of America has there been a more destructive president than the current occupant in the White House.”
This is the kind of fire we need to bring every single day against this pathetic regime.
