At some point, government executives (mayors, county executives, governors) will have to say, "No!" To the overreach and immoral actions of a tyrannical President. An immorally applied law is not law at all. No more ICE and National Guard in our streets.

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid.

But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous. 

Courage is contagious.
