—More guns don't make us safer

We don't have to live like this.

Using threats of violence to gain power.

Targeting political enemies.

Undermining the free press.

Pumping huge sums of money into the police state.

Just a few months into his second term, Donald Trump is already following the dictator's playbook to a tee. Watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSxJ...

The Trump administration’s funding freeze could wreck summer programs for low-income families and wipe out after-school programs next year. Over $6 billion in federal grants is being withheld, impacting summer learning, after-school care, English language instruction, adult literacy, and more.
