Trump is trying to stifle free speech.
He's attacking the press.
He's kidnapping U.S. residents and sending them to foreign prisons without due process.
When asked if he would uphold the Constitution, he says "I don't know."
If this isn't dictatorship, I don't know what is.

-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health
And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?
