If your excuse for why “leaders” aren’t speaking up…is because they might fear retaliation, you might not realize it, but if that would turn out to be the reason why, it would be evidence of having failed one of the most important tests of leadership.

I'm reminded of a German academic Milton Mayer interviewed after WWII. I use it with my Sophomores when studying how Germans reacted to the rise of the Nazis and the implementation of their policies.

So, trump is jacking up the prices on Americans with his idiotic 25% tariffs that CONSUMERS pay, but hey, at least you got to openly show your hate of immigrants and got Black History Month, Women's Month, and Pride Month events canceled, so there's that.
Hateful jackasses.

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

Doesn't matter to the people who voted for him. They've sacrificed the Conservative parts of being Conservative - the Christian parts of being Christian - the silent majority for being deafeningly loud - and their country, family, friends, communities, and neighbors in the name of Trump.

3. As you sit in your important chairs, still believing in bipartisanship, he is destroying our country.
He is attempting to tear asunder, what has taken almost 250 yrs to build.
