For our #democracy, book I am reading right now. If we had elected her as President, we would not be currently disappearing immigrants and citizens without due process, performing extra judicial killings in the middle of the ocean, bullying cities with troops, & ending investments in clean energy.

For our #democracy, this was gut wrenching to see. When I was 12 years old, I went on a public tour of the White House during a family vacation on July 4, 1980. I will never forget entering via the East Wing entrance and the long hallway of Presidential Portraits. Donald Trump is a total disgrace.
