Pass it on: The Resistance is alive and well and angry. Reports of our demise might have been premature

Everyone needs to watch Pritzker’s speech today.

Nixon told my Dad I was a campus radical. I had a FBI record and he should pull me out. My roommate was black, me white. We reluctantly were active. My quest was to date the football team. Nixon knew campuses held the greatest threat to him. Rev.King was killed. Peggy and I marched, fearlessly.

The main beneficiaries of the Department of Education are disabled kids (IDEA) and working-class and poor Americans (Title I, Pell Grants, work assistance), so of course Trump wants to do away with it.

Send letters to Congress right now--tell them to pass the bill to prevent anyone from messing with our payment systems and data. This has to end!

In 215 I laughed when the Texas legislators voted Sharia law would be illegal. It was dropped but Alabama, Arizona, South Dakota, Tennessee, and North Dakota previously did pass bans. Maybe the law will prevent them from initiating 2025. Oh wait, these are red states. This is tragically funny.

This is great advice especially to not credit Trump. He is not working alone. It is the Republican party that is leading him around by the nose. We need to start recognizing it is the Republican Party that is taking our freedoms away, not just one lunatic.
