I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

I just realized it's April 23. That means it's the anniversary of the Farmville, Virginia Motion High School student strike. What? You don't know about that? Well, in 1951, Barbara Johns was fed up with the deplorable conditions in her segregated school, so she organized a strike. 1/
