It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

Opinion | Trump’s Most Lethal Policy

They are worse! Due to the the cancellation of USAID in Uganda, the Lancet estimated that the cuts will cost the lives of about 690,000 children under the age of 5 in 2025, and 829,000 next year. That's 88 child deaths per hour.

Yes, you are correct. This is the new normal and it's out in the open. The way I fight this is to volunteer for events that promote diversity and tolerance with middle and high school students. Last week we held an event at University of Richmond.
