Step one: clarity. This is not about hiding or evading. It’s about civil disobedience, acting openly, naming the injustice, and accepting consequences as part of the protest. #CivilDisobedience #DemocracyDefendsItself

Critics will say: “That’s reckless.” But what’s more reckless, risking penalties for protest, or financing the dismantling of democracy without resistance? #DemocracyDefendsItself

A traditional-style oil painting of four diverse Texans standing shoulder to shoulder, holding a banner that reads “NO KINGS.” From left to right: a dignified older Black woman with a subtle cross necklace, a white cowboy in a Stetson hat, a Vietnamese woman with calm resolve, and a proud Tejano man in a vaquero-style hat. Their expressions are determined. The background is warm and painterly, evoking both history and resistance. No one kneels. No one bows.

Don’t mess with Texas — especially when we’re standing together.

No kings. No crowns. Just people, proud and free.

This is what democracy looks like — from Austin to Amarillo.

Trump’s approval rating is dropping faster than his grasp on reality. When you treat the Constitution like a napkin, don’t be surprised when the public wipes their hands of you. #DemocracyDefendsItself #AuthoritarianismFails #fucktrump
