🛑 This Is a Heist—And We Can’t Afford to Stay Silent!
Billionaire Elon Musk and his cronies are exploiting our information and resources because they think they hold all the power. But that only lasts until we stand up, reclaim our power, and hold 34-time convicted felon Donald Trump, MAGA Republicans, and Naughty Democrats accountable and build power.
Fascism thrives in the shadows of apathy, creeping into societies not with dramatic proclamations or tanks in the streets, but through quiet indifference and inaction. It begins when good people fail to challenge injustice, ignore the erosion of rights, and dismiss threats as “it can’t happen here.” History repeatedly shows this pattern: in 1930s Europe, fascist regimes rose not just because of their loudest supporters, but because the silent majority looked away, trusting institutions or others to act.
Despite the reality of the felon Donald Trump becoming president, let us be clear: he is not a leader, nor will he ever embody the qualities of one. It’s important to remember that nearly 80% of those who call America home did not vote for him. 1This is our call to action: to build a resilient, inclusive movement capable of resisting the autocratic, theocratic ambitions of the wealthy, powerful, and privileged few who seek to tighten their grip on our democracy.
We must show up, speak out, and build power to replace these corrupt politicians.
Convicted 34-time felon
and President Donald Trump has nominated Kash Patel to lead the FBI.
We just learned that Kash Patel has cleared the Senate committees and is heading to a full Senate vote in the next few days. Patel is wholly unfit and too extreme to lead the FBI. His lack of impartiality, fixation on political revenge, and promotion of conspiracy theories undermine the integrity required for such a critical position. Patel has advocated for dismantling the FBI’s headquarters, branding it a "Museum of the Deep State," signaling an alarming willingness to weaken essential institutions. His promotion of an "enemies list" and threats against media figures reveal a troubling prioritization of political vendettas over justice. Patel’s extreme partisanship and disregard for democratic norms make him a significant threat to the FBI's mission of impartial law enforcement and public trust. Entrusting him with such power would jeopardize the foundational principles of fairness, accountability, and the rule of law.
Why Kash Patel Is Unqualified and Too Extreme to Lead the FBI
Lacks the Judgment and Temperament for Leadership
Advocated for shutting down the FBI headquarters and turning it into a "Museum of the Deep State."
Promotes extreme ideas that could erode institutional integrity and public trust.
Driven by Political Revenge, Not Justice
Authored a book naming an "enemies list," prioritizing personal and political vendettas over justice.
Publicly threatened media figures and political opponents of Donald Trump with jail time, undermining democracy and chilling free speech.
Promotes Authoritarian, Not Democratic, Governance
Wrote a book portraying Donald Trump as a king and himself as a wizard, revealing authoritarian and self-aggrandizing tendencies.
Undermines Democratic Processes
Denied the results of the 2020 presidential election, spreading baseless claims of voter fraud.
Perpetuates narratives that weaken confidence in U.S. electoral processes.
Seeks to Divide, Not Unite
Employs rhetoric and policies that foster division instead of promoting constructive dialogue and solutions.
Kash Patels’s record raises serious questions about his commitment to ethical governance, impartiality, and adherence to the rule of law.
Kash Patel’s statements are too extreme to work in any position of our government
We are going to look back together and say we… helped destroy and identify an intelligence community that has gone rogue to seize our right to vote with their lies and fake disinformation campaigns and we collectively join forces to take on the most powerful enemy that the United States has ever seen…the mainstream media.

Call your Senator (202) 224-3121 and tell them to oppose Kash Patel:
Hi there! I am a constituent who lives in ________, and I am calling to urge the Senator to vote NO on the nomination of Kash Patel. He is too extreme, dangerous to our rights, freedoms, democracy, the rule of law, and a danger to our national security. America deserves leadership grounded in unity and dedicated to the greater good, not driven by extreme political ideologies. Please vote NO on Kash Patel.
