Everything you need to know about the historic State of the Union rebuttal.
Where to watch, surprise announcements, how you can defy Trump, and more!
| Miles Taylor Feb 23 defiance@substack.com |
Tomorrow night (Tuesday, February 24) will be one of the most consequential State of the Union addresses ever. Not because of what Donald Trump will say. But because of what WE will say.
Join DEFIANCE.org, as we host the STATE OF THE SWAMP: The Rebuttal to the State of the Union, from 7-11pm ET. This will be one of the largest LIVE “SOTU” rebuttals ever, featuring Robert De Niro, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Stacey Abrams, Mark Ruffalo, Members of Congress, and dozens more.
Here’s everything you need to know. Below.
I heard you’re doing something BIG that morning. What is it?
You heard right. The morning of Tuesday, February 24 we will be delivering copies of the U.S. Constitution to EVERY Republican Member of Congress with a message: You swore an oath to this. Not to a man. Remember that tonight.
And guess what? We’ve flown in the Portland Frog Brigade to handle the deliveries. That’s right, defiant Americans in blow-up frog costumes will be going door-to-door on Capitol Hill to deliver the Constitution. The same people who’ve been protesting Trump’s agents at ICE facilities — and leading marches nationwide.
You won’t want to miss it. Tune in below at 930am ET, Tues, Feb 24 at DEFIANCE.News or by clicking the button below.
