Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students.

This is how you refuse to comply.

I am holding on tightly to these words because this week has felt like a year.
The moment demands the wisdom of ancestors.

Panel 1.

A quote in a starry sky:

β€œWe are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars. - Oscar Wilde”

Below, people are lying in the gutter. One is looking through a telescope.

Panel 2.

β€œGuys, astronomy is amazing.” Says the figure with a telescope  ”You should all give it a try.” To which others reply β€œSure. Why not?”.

Panel 3.

Now the quote reads:

β€œWe are all in the gutter but we are looking at the stars.”

All the people are looking through telescopes.

Panel 4.

β€œThis is great! Apart from being in the gutter.” Says one of the people. Another replies ”Let’s go to the observatory!” and leads the way.

Panel 5.

The quote now reads:

β€œWe are all looking at the stars but some of us are in the gutter.”

Everyone is in the observatory except two figures who lie in the gutter looking up through their telescopes.

Panel 6.

The original telescope bearer leans out of the window and asks β€œWhy are you guys still in the gutter?” and they reply β€œWe don’t like too much change”.
