There is no better way to try to honor Dr. King’s legacy than by serving others.
And today more than any other time in recent history, we have both an obligation and amazing opportunity to serve others with kindness and compassion.

ICE is a lawless, heavily armed, well funded, state sponsored gang, whose mission is to inflict trauma and violence upon the people, and places, Trump sees as his adversaries.

Everything Trump does:
Encouraging nations and individuals to buy his favor
Trying to overturn, & cheat, in elections
Sexually abusing women
How he wages war
Literally everything is illegal.
And now that he controls every branch of govt, he feels unaccountable

Unspoken history repeats itself.
The threats our country- & our democracy- face today are not new.
The tactics Trump is using are not original, or creative.
We have all seen this movie play out, at different times & in different countries across the world.
We must respond with courage, not fear!

Creating fear, terror, trauma & lethal violence against innocent people is not an accident of Trump’s leadership.
It is always precisely the point- they are executing their game plan exactly as they want to.
They will never slow down- they will always double down.
Our only hope to stop them is us.

Correct, but he breaks all norms and rules.
But we've never cancelled elections in modern history because of a war, right?

Trump needs a “war” to try to justify canceling the midterms he knows he can’t win, so he is doing his best to start one.

I surely hope it would, but in those days there were 3 separate but equal branches of government in the U.S. and an executive branch allied with other democracies.

Just like when images of Bull Connor unleashing the dogs and turning fire hoses on innocent people shocked the world’s consciousness and turned the tide against racist politicians, I wonder if video of ICE murdering an innocent citizen yesterday will turn the world against the racist, lawless Trump.

ICE kills people wherever they go, and then lie about what happened.
ICE repeats the same lie in each place after they kill someone- from Chicago to Minneapolis.
They are a lethal danger, and a menace to society.
They are Trump’s private army, specifically sent to wage war on the American public.

Glenn Youngkin and Jason Miyares are such pieces of garbage.
Cruel, sad, weak, unnecessary, and will only hurt Virginia’s economy- which will now be less educated- and has already been devastated by Trump’s assault on the Federal workforce.
Such a terrible decision!
