While we fund another needless war, we require TSA agents to work without pay. While the Republicans in Congress provide the president billions for ICE, essentially his private militia, legions of Americans are forced to choose between food, rent and health care.
While the president tears down a historic wing of the White House, he builds what are essentially concentration camps to incarcerate those he deems outsiders.
While so many rely on social media sound bites for news, the president manufactures and feeds falsehoods to bolster his actions. While tales of rampant voter fraud take hold through Trump-friendly media, we witness an attack on another basic principle of democracy.
While the administration maintains a stranglehold on Republican legislators and the heads of the Justice and Defense departments, the branches of government designed to prevent an oligarchy are crippled. The defense of democracy falls to us, the people. Together we stand. Call. Write. Vote!
