Opposes fascism in all its forms. Skeptical of people with power and empathetic for people without it. Committed to nonviolence, democracy, and the aspirational progressive values that should serve as the foundation of political life in the United States.

Reminder... This is what Fascism looks like. 1.6 million people lost the legal right to stay in the U.S. in 2025. How is this okay?

Immigrants now have fewer legal options to stay in the U.S. under Trump

Not much has changed since 1919. Immigrants hunted by law enforcement and abused without due process. It's happening here. Still. 😢

Juxtaposing Trump's mass deportations of brown people with Hitler's mass deportations of Jews, MAGA book bans with Nazi book burnings and remembered this quote:
“It was just the prelude… Where they burn books, they will ultimately burn people too.” Heinrich Heine (1797-1856)
Much to do in 2026. ✊🏻
