"Under this legislation, Trump’s Treasury Department could indiscriminately label any non-profit organization – think tanks, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HumanRights</a> groups, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CivilLiberties" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CivilLiberties</a> orgs, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#universities</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StudentGroups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StudentGroups</a>, even Indivisible Civics – a 'terrorist supporting organization' and strip it of its tax-exempt status. This bill requires no oversight. No due-process. No justification. Trump could use it to shut down any and all <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dissent</a> against him. "This bill is a litmus test for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Democrats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Democrats</a> as we prepare for the incoming Trump administration: are Democrats going to make it easier for Trump to pursue his <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/authoritarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#authoritarian</a> agenda or are they going to fight back?"And we’ll need more Democrats on our side for this second vote – unlike the first, failed vote, which required a 2/3s majority to pass under a suspension of the rules, this vote will require only a simple majority to pass. And 52 Democrats inexplicably voted for this bill last time - that’s not acceptable. (See how your MoC voted at the link below)"This time, we need all Democrats in the House to vote NO on H.R. 9495 and send a clear message to Trump that they will not just give in to his power grabs. If this bill passes with bipartisan support, there’s a real risk it gets folded into the annual <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Defense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Defense</a> [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NDAA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NDAA</a>] bill, which would put it on a glide path through the Senate. We can’t let that happen."Read more: <a href="https://indivisible.org/resource/tell-your-representative-vote-no-hr-9495-stop-trump-attacking-dissenting-organizations" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://indivisible.org/resource/tell-your-representative-vote-no-hr-9495-stop-trump-attacking-dissenting-organizations</a>See how your representative voted: <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024458" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024458</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StopHR9495" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StopHR9495</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USPolitics</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SilencingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SilencingDissent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreePalestine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StudentProtestors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StudentProtestors</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeSpeech</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Clampdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Clampdown</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StopHR9495" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StopHR9495</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CharacteristicsOfFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CharacteristicsOfFascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Authoritarianism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProjectEsther" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ProjectEsther</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Project2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Project2025</a>

Perhaps a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hurricane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hurricane</a> has just torn through the state, or a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/demagogue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#demagogue</a> has just won reelection on an explicitly <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fascist</a> electoral platform. For many people, this is one of those moments right now. But how do we connect with them—or at least connect them with each other? One answer is to host an open assembly."Here, we’ll offer a brief guide, along with some sample discussion questions you could use to discuss how to prepare for the second Donald <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> administration.[...]"If you want to organize with a modicum of confidentiality rather than turning out the largest possible crowd, you could limit your announcement to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/handbills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#handbills</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Signal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Signal</a> messages. Generally speaking, you’ll want to maximize the number of earnest participants while keeping your assembly off the radar of people with bad intentions."Hopefully, you’re already connected to local projects that have some reach through which to make the announcement. These could include <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MutualAid</a> projects, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunitySpaces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CommunitySpaces</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bands</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SignalLoops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SignalLoops</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReadingGroups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ReadingGroups</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DJs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DJs</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StudentGroups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StudentGroups</a> [I would include neighbors and folks already involved with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/activism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#activism</a> whom you know and can trust and rely on]. Consider approaching other groups at the outset and inviting them to help organize or at least publicize the assembly. The more different groups are on board from the beginning, the wider the range of people you will bring together, and the less the gathering will feel like the private property of any one group."Read more: <a href="https://crimethinc.com/2024/11/10/how-to-organize-an-assembly-preparing-to-respond-to-an-era-of-disasters-and-despotism" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://crimethinc.com/2024/11/10/how-to-organize-an-assembly-preparing-to-respond-to-an-era-of-disasters-and-despotism</a>
