I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today.

Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American.

There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.

Absolutely infuriating policies by the new administration
Trump just issued an executive order defunding public schools that accommodate transgender students.

Teachers will be banned from referring to a transgender student by their desired name or pronouns. If they do not comply, their budgets can be defunded.
Trump threatens funding for schools that accommodate transgender children
Trump has repeatedly threatened to defund schools accused of teaching critical race theory.

She said, “May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." If Mike Johnson thinks that’s “radical,” perhaps he has a fundamental misunderstanding of his own religion.

We keep hearing about masculinity from the Zuckerbergs of the world-- this woman has shown more courage in this 60-second clip than any of the tech billionaires have shown in recent memory as they grovel at Trump's feet.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

RFK Jr hasn't even been confirmed yet (hopefully he isn't at all), yet all public communication from a number of public health agencies has already been shut down? That's potentially damaging enough as is, I can hardly imagine how much worse it's certain to get.

Everyone clowned on George Lucas for making the prequel trilogy “so long, boring, and full of needless politics” but 25 years later we’re watching the same things happen in real life.

Now more than ever I am so grateful for his lessons of empathy, resilience, and hope.
