Trump doesn't get to play dictator in a nation of laws.

Buried in a Senate budget bill is a massive giveaway to corporate developers and fossil fuel companies.
It forces the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management land in 11 Western states *every 60 days* until millions of acres are gone.

This rings true for the academic experience for this century so far. Authorship and access to literacy are contested zones of citizenship. Why I love zines tbh.

As the 14th Amendment clearly states: “Nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” Our government needs to remember that.

Its kind of becoming clear that American conservatives don't just hate liberalism (late 20th century market-friendly socially egalitarian values) they hate Liberalism (18th century philosophy embracing individual rights and democracy)

“How would you know? There are no minority religions in your party. There are no out LGBTQ people in your party,” she demands.
