That’s a good start for the Resistance in the US. But don’t let this be a one off! Keep up the pressure! Don’t let them strip one single right, push unconstitutional efforts to detain and deport people, defy legitimate judicial orders without consequences. It’s past time for Good Trouble! #HandsOff

"One of the most alarming developments in the second Trump administration is agencies’ apparent defiance of court orders barring them from implementing illegal executive orders...Yet the prospect of holding executive branch officials in contempt threatens a fresh constitutional crisis."

Let it be noted that the Democratic politician with as much proven crossover appeal as any in the country has done it while making a point of not giving in to the resegregators and transphobes.

Trump just signed an Executive Order to dismantle the Department of Education. You need to know: 1) This is ILLEGAL and WILL be challenged in the courts. Only Congress has this authority. 2) This is an ATTACK on students, families, educators, and schools. Kids will pay the price.

In 1971, the Jim Crow era was over, but oppression carried on. Jimmy Carter was sworn in as Governor of Georgia. In his Inaugural address, he declared “the time for racial discrimination is over”. President Carter always had the spine to speak up, no matter the cost of the cause. Be like Carter.
