We’ll be blunt, John.

Donald Trump’s first week in office has been a disaster for democracy and for the rule of law.

We saw sweeping pardons for Jan. 6 insurrectionists. We watched his administration try to subvert the 14th Amendment by putting an end to birthright citizenship.  

Now, the Department of Justice just put a freeze on all ongoing and new civil rights cases:

Justice Department issues freeze for civil rights division

As one civil rights attorney put it, they’re effectively trying to “eradicate civil rights” protections and abandon any progress for the next four years.

Donald Trump and his allies are sending a dangerous message that discrimination and injustice will be tolerated, if not encouraged.

There’s no doubt this decision will result in a flurry of lawsuits, and holding Trump and his administration accountable will play out in the courtroom.
