A racist called me "Sand N*gger," did so right in front of my kids, then took off.
There is a spike in hate crimes in the USA & a major effort to silence those speaking out against injustice. We must never be silent. Which is why we worked to identify the racist.

Now, Donald, and descendants of those interned during World War II, are watching as the same law that authorized the imprisonments then is used again by President Donald Trump—this time without the United States at war and with the goal of speeding up mass deportation.

The US used the Alien Enemies Act to detain their families. Now, they are watching history repeat.
The statute justified the imprisonment in World War II of thousands like Heidi Gurcke Donald. She is horrified as Trump invokes it for mass deportation.

As we watch the GOP dismantle the federal government with swift urgency, we must acknowledge the reason we are here is Dems do not move with that urgency.
