Phang: We are just 19 weeks—approximately—into the second term of the Trump administration. We have another three and something years to go, people. We cannot allow the DOJ to be led by a lackey of Donald Trump.
That is the type of shit you see in a dictatorship.

We're no longer the leader of the free world. We're no longer a beacon of democracy and justice. We're no longer the land of opportunity. We're no longer a nation in which no one is above the law. Our myths about ourselves are killing us. What to do?

If we still had a White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, they’d be in Tallahassee helping the community access federal resources for survivors, families, & students. Then they’d take what was learned to help prevent it from ever happening again.

Will be the new name you will hear that goes viral.
She is an immigration attorney born and raised in MA.
She received a letter from DHS telling her to self deport or ICE will take her and deport her.

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that *you* are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back?
The answer is due process.
