@RepSwalwell Here's a thread with the Resistance orgs & actions that address the specific areas they (the Koch RWing) used to gain power. None of us can do it all... it's small, focused & consistent steps to a win (that's how it worked!)..

Thread 1/

@RepSwalwell There are steps we can take now to curb their power & protect Democracy. IF we're very focused & unified in our resolve & actions

@RepSwalwell @jennycohn1 A USPS shutdown is unacceptable! It's also another form of voter suppression!

Raise public awareness & sound the alarm! Reach out to local officials, local business owners, members of your community & local press.

They may not even be aware that it's at risk!

And environmental protections."

#NoConCon

@RepSwalwell @jennycohn1 @resistbot @IndivisibleTeam @representus @Public_Citizen @Greg_Palast @StopBigMoney @UnKochCampus I urge everyone to take time to read two important books for an explanation of today’s GOP, how we got trump, what’s occurring & even the intersection w/ Russia.

👉Nelson’s “Shadow Network” (excerpt: c-span.org/video/?464899-… )

👉Sharlet’s “The Family”

@RepSwalwell @jennycohn1 @resistbot @IndivisibleTeam @representus @Public_Citizen @Greg_Palast @StopBigMoney @UnKochCampus @EFF @freepress @battleforthenet @OpenMediaOrg Start insisting that MSM, Reps, Candidates, Big Twitter accts.,identify the Koch RW group behind trump. That they name the entire group as a coordinated internal attack on gov. & Democracy. How will the public learn if WE are not framing “them” correctly? #Fascists

@RepSwalwell @jennycohn1 @resistbot @IndivisibleTeam @representus @Public_Citizen @Greg_Palast @StopBigMoney @UnKochCampus @EFF @freepress @battleforthenet @OpenMediaOrg Learn as much as possible about the Koch/RW/GOP & Russian techniques of influence & propaganda. Arm yourself to avoid & help others to do the same. The channels of disinfo & influence are often far more subtle than FOX style outlets...
