Fabulous! Wish I could have done that!

I took a stab at photo journalism yesterday, at the #HandsOff protest in Mesa. It was an AMAZING experience. So may smiling faces and the positive energy was incredible!

This is the home of the USA Disappeared Tracker Dashboard.
DM to let us know of a person to add to the tracker or to volunteer to help!

Once again, screaming into the void. We in the US are now living in a fascist, authoritarian state. We need to March! To Resist! Who is organizing?

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

Criminal and Immoral

Arresting international students for expressing their opinions; removing Smithsonian displays and shutting down websites to remove "inappropriate" material.
