When I talk about authoritarianism in this country, I am talking about a President of the United States who is using his domestic army to invade and occupy cities across our nation. His goal is to intimidate the American people and make us afraid to stand up for our rights.
When I talk about authoritarianism in this country, I am talking about how Trump uses the concept of the Big Lie in a way that has never, in this country, been done before. Day after day, blatantly dishonest statements and conspiracy theories are propagated — and we are once again seeing it in Minnesota.
He and his administration will call violent insurrectionists "peaceful," and then his administration labels a mother of three a "domestic terrorist" and a VA nurse an "assassin."
And when I talk about authoritarianism in this country, I am talking about a president and an administration using the full weight of the federal government to harass and prosecute his political opponents ... something happening in Minnesota right now.
As you know, we have three great progressive leaders in Minnesota who are playing a key role in fighting back against Trump's authoritarianism and lawlessness.
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has been the subject of constant and relentless racist attacks by Donald Trump for years.
Attorney General Keith Ellison is effectively using his office to expose and defeat the Trump administration's illegal actions.
And Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan, a progressive candidate for U.S. Senate, is playing a key role in mobilizing grassroots opposition to Trumpism.
I have no doubt but that these 3 brave leaders will be targeted by Trump and his friends in every way possible.
They need our help NOW.
Can you please split a contribution of $27 or whatever you can afford between Ilhan Omar, Peggy Flanagan and Keith Ellison today? They can use our financial support in this moment.

What Trump is doing in Minnesota is repellant to the American people in every single way. People in this country want democracy and justice, not authoritarianism.
In solidarity,
