Dear Harris,
I don't have to tell you what a nightmare the first 7 weeks of the Trump presidency have been.
But in recent days, I've started to feel something shift. A groundswell of opposition is rising, and Trump's power is slipping.
Hundreds of people are packing into Republican-led town hall meetings to express their outrage. Senate offices report receiving 1,600 calls per minute. Trump's disapproval rating has jumped nearly 10 points in just 7 weeks.
All of this is happening despite the mainstream media bending over backward to normalize Trump and dismiss warnings about the danger to democracy as overly alarmist.
That's why the work of Inequality Media is so crucial right now. We're sounding the alarm to our millions of followers across social media, and it's working. Our shares, views, and engagements have skyrocketed since the election, allowing us to reach millions of people beyond our core audience. On YouTube alone, our "watch time" is up 10x from one year ago.
Now is the time to ramp it up, so I'm asking you today: Will you make a monthly donation to help us amplify our efforts to educate the public and stop Trump's assault on democracy?
I know that the constant deluge of horrific news from Trump can be demoralizing.
Trump is gleefully taking a chainsaw to every part of the government that does anything to help everyday people while running roughshod over the Constitution and siding with brutal dictators against democracies around the world.
But green shoots of rebellion are appearing all across America and the world.
Grassroots protests are spreading like wildfire. Musk's popularity is plunging. Boycotts are taking hold as Americans shift their buying habits away from corporations that are aligned with Trump.
The federal courts are hitting back. Independent news outlets are growing, offering an alternative to the flood of disinformation from Fox News and MAGA-controlled social media.
International resistance is rising as well, and even the stock market is losing faith in Trump as his chaos has revived fears of a recession.
Now we need to step on the gas. Because the Trump-Musk-Vance plan is to do so much damage so fast that the rest of us give in to negativity and despair. They know that authoritarianism is built on hopelessness and fear.
We can't let that happen. So if you're with us and can afford it, please make a monthly donation to help get the truth out and stop Trump's assault on our democracy.
Thank you,
Robert Reich
