The Epstein Files Fallout Will Not Touch Him And I am very sorry to say that...

Trumpism is not a religion, but it has become such an identity for Trump voters that it has evolved (devolved) into their de facto religion. They have swapped the basic tenets of their Christian Bible with the Republican agenda and Trump.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

It's Time for Chuck Schumer to Step Down Sign the petition.

"Mr. Schumer's stated approach of waiting for Trump to 'screw up' and continue this inexplicable embrace of the slippery slope is wholly inadequate and an astonishing failure of leadership."

Today marks 83 years since Executive Order 9066 incarcerated over 120,000 Japanese Americans, including my family.

#DayOfRemembrance is a reminder that we can't be complacent. The Trump Admin is creating a culture of fear & hysteria. That is why the Japanese American story must be told & retold.

Comments on this @governor.ca.gov post are missing the point that this should be a reminder to anyone who thinks this sort of thing couldn't happen here - it HAS happened, and we are haeded toward it happening again if this regime is not stopped
