It’s a scary moment right now. We are watching in real time as Trump and MAGA Republicans’ authoritarian playbook unfolds step by step. It’s impossible to ignore. Silencing opposing voices. Crushing dissent. And it fits into the GOP’s long track record of artificially manipulating maps to make it seem like they have more support than they actually do — entrenching their unfair advantage into legislatures and Congress. Make no mistake: This is an ongoing attempt to destroy our democracy. We cannot sit by while Republicans work to consolidate power and build their artificial political advantage in state after state. There’s simply no choice but to fight back.
Just look at Trump’s new attempt to force an even more extreme gerrymander in Texas, which is a brazen effort to crush the opposition of people who might vote to put a check on MAGA Republicans’ extreme agenda in 2026. That’s because at its core, gerrymandering is a way for people already in power to shut out anyone who disagrees with them. If electoral maps don’t truly represent everyone, those in power can just ignore the people who don’t agree with them. Well, it’s time to remind Trump and his loyalists that they can’t simply shut down opposing voices — we will not stop fighting their efforts to undermine our democracy and push our country ever closer to authoritarianism. Donate now to fuel our fight for fair maps and fair representation in states across the country >> Onward, Marina Jenkins
