Today, the court recognized that poisoning a residential community with toxic chemicals is a profound abuse of power by DHS.
Proud of our team @democracyforward.org. We must continue protecting the right to live in one’s home without fear of chemical weapons being used by the government.
Join the Task Force for American Democracy on March 18 for a webinar with Skye Perryman, President & CEO of Democracy Forward!

In America, voters choose their leaders - not the other way around.
As CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social assures ABC News, any attempts by the Trump-Vance admin to undermine U.S. elections will be met with swift legal action in court.

If Trump is serious about ending Noem’s tenure, DHS should immediately reverse her decisions to:
**put ICE in schools, hospitals, and houses of worship
**make it harder for people fleeing autocratic nations to seek asylum
**deprive people of due process
Until then, we will still be in court.
President Trump's efforts to create religious or moral exemptions to the ACA's contraceptive mandate are a dangerous threat to women's health care access.
We filed a brief on behalf of @acog.org and other medical orgs dedicated to protecting safe and effective reproductive care.
Thank you to @ppfa.org of Illinois for inviting me to speak about the fight for democracy in the courts, including our efforts to protect voting rights and access to health care.
Together, our people and communities are strong and will overcome barriers to justice.
The Trump-Vance admin spent its first year in office decimating the civil service and undermining the protections that have supported the workforce for decades – and now they’re back at it.
Our team @democracyforward.org is in court to stop this destructive attempt to remake the federal workforce.
One of the stories we told was about the fight against Christian Nationalism in Texas — a fight being fought by Christians themselves who reject the misapplication of our faith. Central to that story then — as now — was James Talarico. It has aged well: bittersoutherner.com/sponsored/de...
In 2024 before the Presidential election and before this current Senate race, @democracyforward.org partnered with @bittersouth.bsky.social to tell all too untold and ignored stories of the fight for freedom in the South that our team has the privilege of being part of with so many communities.
More dysfunction from the Trump-Vance administration today. And now, we have been granted permission to depose Secretary Kristi Noem and other officials. The truth will come out.
BREAKING: In our case challenging the Trump-Vance administration’s cuts to FEMA, a federal court has ordered discovery, including a deposition of Kristi Noem. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. @democracyforward.org
If the White House is embarrassed about the headlines yesterday of its retreat, it will be *really* embarrassed when it loses across the board on appeal. The First Amendment (among others) prohibits targeting these firms. And the President should quit before he gets further behind.
Said it before. Will say it again. Courage is the new currency. I’m proud of the firms that pushed back, including my former firms, WilmerHale and Covington. As a mentor who has since passed away once told me, “sometimes you have to get in there and be a lawyer.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/u...
Today’s ruling makes it clear that Sec. Noem cannot silence elected officials who are doing their jobs.
The court once again affirmed that oversight is not optional, transparency is not negotiable, and human rights do not disappear at the doors of a detention center.
These types of serious questions is precisely why our Constitution required Congress to authorize war. This President has abused his power beyond a breaking point.
There is a reason multiple presidents have been focused on addressing the threats posed by Iran without starting a war. The risk to both American and non-American lives is urgent, especially when there is no clear end or exit to this conflict President Trump chose to start.
Seven in 10 Americans opposed strikes in Iran and Trump made no effort to persuade them otherwise (via Bloomberg Opinion)
I started writing this book when it became undeniably clear, as our history also teaches, that it is not our institutions that will save us—not the courts, not corporate generosity, not the universities, not the media—but it is the people.
I’m excited to announce that my book Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times: How to Reclaim Your Power, Fight for Freedom, and Reimagine Democracy is available for presale and will be on shelves August 25!

UPDATE: A judge granted our motion to intervene – allowing GenBioPro to defend its medication abortion pill, which has been proven safe and effective by the FDA for more than 20 years.
We will continue to push back against far-right extremists and their meritless attacks on health care.
Federal agencies don't have the authority to sweep up people in America - regardless of their legal status - without legal justification.
We're in court to demand the restoration of basic guardrails on govt power and ensure federal officers follow the law they're sworn to uphold.

The real state of the union is chaos and crisis.
Donald Trump has broken every promise he made to the American people.
Together with partners like Skye Perryman at Democracy Forward, we’re fighting on behalf of working families to hold the GOP accountable.
This administration continues to target children under the pretense of immigration enforcement, but let’s be clear: this isn’t about immigration and it never was.
It is a power grab that threatens people and our democracy.
Thank you to Democracy Forward for compiling and documenting the growing list of National Park sites and public exhibits where the Trump administration has attempted to remove, alter, or flag historical and scientific materials.
The fight for our democracy starts with small actions — by registering to vote, by paying attention, by speaking out.
CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joined @chewsviews.bsky.social to talk about how communities can resist authoritarianism as we continue pushing back in court.
Always great to see @mjsdc.bsky.social and especially great when the Supreme Court does what it is supposed to do for our Republic and our democracy. There were no kings yesterday. History’s eyes are on this Court. Segment is here www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaDu...
The U.S. Supreme Court just struck down President Trump’s tariffs.
Our Staff Attorney, Gilbert, is breaking down this decision and what its impact means for you.
With its ruling on tariffs today, SCOTUS reminded the president: there is no king in the United States.
CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joined @weeknightmsnow.bsky.social to discuss the news.
The Supreme Court today rightly affirmed the constitutional role that Congress – not the president – has in tariff policy. This is not just a victory for the American consumer, it is a victory for American democracy.
In the United States, there is no king.
