The right now wants to pardon Officer Chauvin who was convicted of killing George Floyd. Chauvin had his knee on his neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds. This led to the biggest protests this country has ever seen. Trump wants this so he can violently crack down & declare Martial Law.

interesting to me that no one condemns republicans for “racial essentialism” when their most prominent voices — say, the literal president and vice president of the united states — believe that citizenship has an ethnic and racial basis. www.thebulwark.com/p/vance-immi...

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

“The Maryland National Guard must decline events which celebrates individuals based all or in part on immutable characteristics,” the memo said. Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.
