They couldn't wear a mask when it was for the good of everyone including themselves but no problem wearing a mask to hide their identity while they commit ultimate evil acts. And yes, I think separating a mother from her baby is ultimate evil. Following orders is still not a defense, assholes.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Trump is threatening to revoke Harvard’s tax exempt status because the university refused to cave to his demands.
Why is he so hell-bent on attacking universities?
Because an educated and informed citizenry has always been the biggest threat to a dictator's power.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?
No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens.
Fascism is here.

We need guidance to defend our country from its falsely elected enemy of the state.

We have never been in such danger from within. As a nation we always expected any threats would be a foreign country such as Russia or China.
But it has come from the american spokesperson for foreign enemies.
Trump's behavior is to weaken our country physically and emotionally.
