Trump sycophant Stephen Miller says the White House is considering suspending Habeas Corpus. As a human rights lawyer, let me be clear: Due process & habeas corpus is arguably the last line of defense before fascism takes permanent hold. I cannot emphasize enough how dire this is for our nation.

US democracy is in a full-scale total meltdown! All US politicians - regardless of party - must wake up and take action to defend the rights of the American people and the Constitution they swore to uphold. History is watching, and they’ll be judged by whether they stood on the right side of it.
