I will not lower my voice
by Marc Elias
April 27, 2026

___The midterms are seven months away. Trump has signed executive orders to restrict voting. His Justice Department is trying to build a national database to disenfranchise voters. He has said he wants Republicans to “take over the voting.” His administration routinely claims there would be nothing wrong with deploying federal agents to the polls.

If calling this an affront to democracy and authoritarian overreach is too rhetorical for some in the legacy media, then perhaps it is they who need to rethink their words.

The answer is not for those who oppose this administration’s lawlessness to go quietly. To the contrary, far too many people have stayed too silent for too long. The pro-democracy movement must be louder and bolder in its condemnation of the tyrannical actions unfolding around us.

I have been fighting Donald Trump in court and in public for 10 years. I am not stopping. And I will not be lowering my voice.

It will not be passed, even if Trump sends the Proud Boys to the capital again.
