Dear Dems: Polling shows only *generalized* approval of Trump on immigration, but broad opposition to the lawless specifics. If you don't engage on Abrego Garcia and other illegal kidnappings, you only *help* Trump subsume all that under "keeping out illegals."

I have stood with #MichelleObama since Day 1. I will be standing with her on #MLK Day along with the family of MLK. We will keep fighting the powers that be.

Here is my new blog post. Please share with your social networks. We will not stand silently by and see our #Afro-Indigenous #BlackPatriot, John "Rifle Jack" Peterson be erased from history. Please leave comments on my blog. This is unacceptable!
