I will not call up our National Guard to further Trump’s acts of aggression against our people.
History will judge us by where we choose to stand right now, today. Future generations will ask: ‘What did we do when fellow human beings faced persecution? When our rights were being abridged? When our Constitution was under attack?’
I do not understand why people caved when we were on the verge of getting real change.
