We will never be silent. The Trump administration has placed 139 EPA staffers on leave after they signed a letter of dissent opposing the agency’s current direction and policies. Silencing experts won’t silence the truth.

It’s important to note this is not and was never about citizenship. It’s about removing diversity and dissent to authoritarian power.

Every man denied due process deserves basic rights because they are human. But remember that they are just the first and no one is safe:

This is so fucked up. ICE agents in Massachusetts smashed the window of a car to grab a Guatemalan guy who was with his wife. They were waiting for their lawyer to arrive because he has a pending asylum case.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Being snatched off the street for your opinions. I'll say it again. We are deciding, right now, whether the aspirations we hold for this country are finished. Whether we're going to let these hoodlums and grifters throw what's left of the American idea into the garbage for their own profit and gain.

I will never stop being mad about how the media has treated the anti-trans movement as a group of ordinary people with legitimate concerns rather than the obvious frothing bigots they are.
ABC White House correspondent just released ANOTHER anti-trans EO expected that we did not cover in our piece this morning:

A federal ban on funding to programs that acknowledge and affirm transgender people.

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.
