They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

My therapist recommends "actionable items" to help keep panic around the block. Mine is working to proactively protect my kid, and trying to wrangle enough folks to open a local PFLAG in a highly conservative town/ county. What are your actionable items?
