The stock market crashes while the military is ordered to delete any parts of our history that might possibly be related to DEI initiatives.

Gaza gives Trump the finger for releasing a video where he takes over Gaza and is idolized for it. GOP representatives allow their constituents to be bullied and brutalized in front of them, while members of Congress declare that federal employees do not deserve their jobs or their paychecks. Join the resistance by calling your representatives and telling them to vote no on the SAVE act, join the March 4th for Democracy protests, or any of the numerous protests happening every day all across the country, and take courses in civil resistance or protecting voting rights.
