📢 Is Trump above the law?
America is brave because you are. And we need that bravery now more than ever.
We can not give up on our rights and freedoms. The day we give up, is the day we become complicit in the march towards fascism.
I want to shout out our paid subscribers! I have been busy sending out bumper stickers, yard signs, and more this past week. Your generosity helps boost our People Power efforts to advocate for a community where everyone can thrive.
Is Trump above the law?
In America, we value our justice system in that no leader, President, or ex-president is above the law. Kings do not rule us. Instead, we elect people from our communities to represent the will of the people. And if and when these leaders commit crimes, they should be held accountable for their actions.
Every day, I hear from folks frustrated that Trump appears to be above the law. I know it feels like the wheels of justice are turning slowly, and it seems like Trump is above the law. I assure you, he is not. Trump is a master manipulator who uses his power and privilege to delay justice and intimidate prosecutors, witnesses, judges, and the jury pool. He will continue to do so unless we, the people, hold him accountable.
I am confident that our public servants-Jack Smith, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, the judges, attorneys, and jurors will serve our communities justly. What I am more concerned about is the other courtroom- the court of public opinion. There is no justice in a country with a compromised court of public opinion. Trump will only be above the law if we, the people, allow it.
Remember the BIG LIE? The BIG LIE claims that Biden never won the presidency. Despite Trump losing over 50 lawsuits and thousands of poll workers and volunteers verifying their results, the BIG LIE continues to infect our communities. The BIG LIE continues because they repeat the lies every day and everywhere, and we stay quiet.
To ensure public trust and faith in our judicial system and democracy, we must be proactive and push back against any lies or rhetoric coming out of the Trump trials. We can not allow another BIG LIE to spread. We have to remain vigilant against the spread of misinformation and ready to defend our communities by speaking out against misinformation.
Who are we defending? Great question! We are defending every person in America who believes in the rule of law and works to administer justice. This includes our friends, families, and neighbors who serve as jury members, attorneys, judges, police, and court officials. I want to acknowledge that America's justice system is imperfect in that justice has not been equitable to people of color or folks without means and that we, as activists, must push for a better and fairer justice system.
There will be a lot of noise and misinformation coming out of the NY Trial on Monday, so let's be clear about what Trump is accused of doing:
Cooking his books
Committing fraud against the voters
Committing bribery
We must keep reminding ourselves and others that Trump is not above the law. We must stay vigilant; our rights and freedoms are at risk when we remain silent, look the other way, or make excuses for corrupt politicians. The day we give up holding our leaders accountable, we forfeit freedom and embrace fascism. That day will not be today.

No, and the idea that any president would have immunity is repulsive. Trump: every president in history was able to hold office without crowning themselves king. Your rants are hollow and self-serving and only confirm what we all know - you are without shame, incapable of doing anything except what is best for yourself. Your legacy will be one of hate and failure. Centuries from now people will spit when they say your name.
