Everyone with authority must speak out now against Trump's depravity and lawlessness.

Every Democratic leader.

Every university, professional association, charity, and foundation head.

Every CEO.

Every religious leader.

If they don't, history will condemn their cowardice and complicity.

Go for it! We have EVERYTHING to lose!
None of us chose to be in a moment that calls on us to defend freedom, yet here we are. If we lose, we’ll find out soon enough. But there’s only one way to find out if we can win.
Hell no, it's not over
We still have rights. Time to use them.
