Trump’s brazen defiance of a Supreme Court order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from a Salvadoran torture prison is truly a watershed moment for our teetering democracy. This crisis won’t be resolved through the courts. The only way forward is massive public pressure. 🧵

The first step is simple: Speak out. We need to help our networks understand this isn’t some abstract threat that has nothing to do with them: If the administration can arrest dissenters, send protected migrants to foreign prisons without due process, and defy the courts, all our rights are at risk.

Whether you’re represented by a Democrat or Republican in Congress, call them NOW and demand they speak out against Trump’s defiance of the Supreme Court, push for an end to these lawless abductions, and move to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home immediately.

If your elected officials aren’t answering or their voicemail is full, you can send them an email using this tool (and then call back!). Finally: We’re gonna need popular resistance. We’ve known all along that stopping Trump’s authoritarian takeover will take more than calling members of Congress.

It’s going to take demonstrating to our neighbors, our communities, and to those who may even disagree with us on most things that what Trump is doing is not acceptable. It’s going to take mass popular resistance, bringing people together in community to demand change.
