Big,

Let’s not mince words.

Donald Trump is laying the groundwork for fascism in plain sight — and daring us to look away.

Yesterday, his administration launched a formal attack on ActBlue — the grassroots platform used by millions of Americans to fund Democratic campaigns and progressive causes. This isn’t about straw donations. It’s not about transparency. It’s about silencing dissent. It’s about criminalizing opposition. It’s about fear. And it’s a direct attack on the Constitution.

Trump doesn’t want a fair fight — he wants total control. He’s not investigating every political platform. Just ours. Because we’re the ones standing in his way.

He’s already gone after Immigrants. Trans people. Teachers. Scientists. Protesters. Journalists. Senior Citizens. Children. Veterans. Judges. He’s targeting the vulnerable and the brave — one group at a time. And now, he’s coming for the very infrastructure that makes political resistance possible.

This is what fascism looks like in the 21st century: not in grainy black-and-white footage, but in press releases, subpoenas, and sham investigations.

And while Trump uses the Justice Department as his personal hit squad, his billionaire allies are busy bankrolling the takeover — one state at a time.

Now he’s selling “Trump 2028: Rewrite the Rules” merch — because in his mind, elections are already decided, rules are for suckers, and democracy is an inconvenience to be discarded.

We’ve seen this movie before. It ends in silence, exile, prison, and worse — unless we stop it.

Trump’s biggest backer? A billionaire with multiple Nazi controversies under his belt. That’s no accident. That’s the company he keeps — because that’s the future he wants.

But here’s the thing: we are NOT afraid. And we will NOT back down.

This year, Pennsylvania will hold crucial Supreme Court elections — and the MAGA machine is already flooding our state with dark money to install far-right judges.

They want control. We want justice.

They want silence. We will shout the truth.

They want power. We choose people.

If you’re sick of watching this country spiral into something unrecognizable — fight back.

Pitch in today to help the Pennsylvania Democratic Party build up our organization to hold the line and send a message to every fascist billionaire trying to buy this democracy:

Not here. Not now. Not EVER.

This Party Fights Fascists!

LFG!!
