It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Besides all the obvious horrors to our health, our safety, our finances, so much of my anxiety comes from the lack of anger from elected leaders. Either they’re spineless or financially benefiting from our nightmare. They’re not acting in our best interest. We’re on our own out here.

The President has chosen to intentionally crash the U.S. economy and financial system by doing things which have been ridiculed in every intro macroeconomics class for the past 80+ years. Those with the power to stop him refuse to do so because they hate minorities.

Whatever happened to Rumeysa Ozturk, the Tufts University student detained by ICE? They whisked her off to Louisiana with masks over their faces and then we hear nothing. The news moves at such a fast clip with his insanity we forget about people like her. Where is that young woman?!
