This administration would never pass a law that would benefit We the People, but our Governors possibly could.
This would save lives and thwart the felon’s desire to starve the poor and marginalized.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️🌈

It has become that time of evening
When people sit on their porches,
Rocking gently and talking gently
And watching the street
And the standing up into their sphere
Of possession of the trees,
Of birds’ hung havens, hangars.
People go by; things go by
“Knoxville: Summer of 1915” excerpt James Agee

Trump is going to run the Kennedy Center in the ground just like he did Trump University, Trump Steaks, Trump Mortgage Co, Trump Vodka, Trump Airline, etc.
I bet he eventually tears it down and builds condos or a gold-filled Trump museum.

This is somehow too complex for a lot of people: If you take away due process for someone, then you take away due process for everyone. It only works as a universal right. Otherwise, they can just say you're part of an excluded group and you have no ability to prove you're not.
