2/ "Over these next 11 months, our efforts will be dedicated to defeating Pres Trump and Trumpism at the ballot box and to elect those patriots who will hold the line."

For four months, we fought largely in the shadows. Republicans hissed their hate and most Democrats shrugged.

3/ And then...Gasoline, meet fire.

So when we dropped "Mourning in America" the world -- and Trump -- was watching.

We blew up. Became more than just a group of former Rs trying to save democracy. You helped us become a movement.

4/ When we, as Americans, were outraged together, it mattered.

This spot we produced with Doc Rivers was one of our most powerful.

5/ Every time we poked the bear and reminded people of the stakes, it hit home.

You may thing Covita was just in fun...but it was also to disrupt the Leni Riefenstahl games the Trumps were playing as COVID raged.

Although, it WAS fun.

6/ In the end it all came down to one day.

And sure enough -- no matter how many Big Lies Trump makes the GOP spout...it worked.

The big, viral ads were the tip of the iceberg.

Our focused, targeted campaign in swing states moved the numbers we needed.

7/ And America chose something better, brighter, and more decent and sane on November 3rd.

8/ But right away we knew we couldn't exhale.

We had warned that Trump wouldn’t leave power quietly. That he’d resort to any measure to hold power. We were – as we often are – right.

9/ As @reedgalen wrote a few weeks before: the Fight Against Trumpism was just beginning.

Then the Trump mob attacked the heart of our democracy on January 6th. We asked America – which side are you on in this fight?

@reedgalen 10/ And every day since, it's become more clear.

In the fight between democracy and the American Republican and Trump’s authoritarian nationalist party...we know where we stand: at the edge of the fight.

@reedgalen 11/ Since Trump is inevitably returning to darken America's life we'll keep knocking his plump ass in the dirt. And we'll smack the Trumpalike Freedumb enablers to help kill the virus of Trumpism.

@reedgalen 12/ The fight includes going after corporations funding Trumpism. Fox News antivax bullshit has killed thousands of Americans. (And also, lol at your snowflake Christmas tree faux moral panic, Rupert. Toughen up.)

13/ When Toyota funded the seditionists, we took them on and won. They stopped funding the seditionists the same DAY you made your voices heard.

14/ We're also making sure the world knows who's doing the hard work...(P.S. Democrats you should be doing this instead of bickering with the progs.)

15/ We're also proud to honor the best of America:

16/ While doing what we do in our unique brand of psychological warfare against the bad actors.

17/ All of this is working. Showing people just how far the rabbit hole goes and the real, and potent risks we face. Americans are realizing saving Democracy is so hot right now.

We have an uphill battle next year, but the mission is clear:

18/ A lot of people have tried to take us out, from the constant violent threats against our people and their families to anonymous mailers, to hiring a DC oppo and PR firm to pitch endless, dumb stories about us.

They failed.

19/ Not because we’re perfect – Lord knows, we make mistakes, own them, fix them and get back on task – but because it’s not about us. It’s a movement to protect the American Republic that doesn’t give a damn about the old, dull DC games that put the nation at risk.

20/ It’s a fight to defend democracy, not an ideology. We’re not lobbyists or special interest activists. We don’t have a client other than the future of America.

A former DC friend – a GOP operative whose name you’d know – said to me, frustrated, “You’re seemingly unkillable.”

21/ Maybe so…but only because of you all.

You kept us alive against attacks that would sink any other group. We are all sincerely, deeply grateful.

22/ OK. OK. End of rant. Back to work. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.

23/ P.S. One more for you to close out the year:

The Fight:
