As absolutely vital as all of the heroic pushback against ICE/DHS abuses is, indeed MORE MORE MORE needed, we cannot truly win without a full-throated affirmation that immigrants are awesome. Not villains, not victims, not valets (aka doing jobs no one wants) but tenacious dreamers and doers.

7. The rest of the EO is the implementation of a "1776 curriculum" to promote "patriotic education." That is all for my read of this executive order. It will depend on teachers, school systems complying in advance - this is perhaps his most blatantly illegal EO of the anti-trans ones. Don't do it.
