I refuse to accept a fascist America. (Yes, that means that if Antifa were a real organization, I'd be a member!) Instead I am taking every possible nonviolent action to build a better future for Everyone!

I am proud to oppose fascism everywhere (including in the U.S.) and take every action I can to stop Desperate Cheeto and his gang of white supremacists from destroying democracy.

The catnaps provided grist for the late night shows, but media outlets by and large gave it little or no coverage. They also made his racist rant about Somalis sound like some dry policy statement. Going by front pages, did either of the two events happen?

Enough of this racist old Silver Alert masquerading as a leader. It's time for EVERYONE to stand up to such petty hatred and say "no more!"
Trump says he doesn't want Somalis in US as ICE plans operation
The president says the US will "go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country".

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.
