Supporter, In response to Trump's announcements yesterday, this from RefuseFascism.org: The Trump/Pence regime’s plan to remove any limit on how long families with children will be detained by the government while their asylum claims are heard means many thousands will be held in hellish conditions indefinitely. Trump says he will end “birthright citizenship" for children of immigrants, gutting the 14th Amendment. If this isn't fascist, what is? Coco Das, writing on RefuseFascism.org, says driving out this regime is “the greatest moral obligation we have,” and calls the regime’s actions “an ethnic cleansing of Latino immigrants and citizens, waged by the Trump/Pence regime and its many soldiers, from government agents in ICE and Border Patrol to young white supremacist men who are willing to follow the marching orders of a whole fascist movement, fed and strengthened by Trump’s immigrant bashing at Nazi rally after Nazi rally. “It is not enough to hate this fascist regime; we have to drive it out.

The election of Trump finally shocked me awake to the dangerous direction in which our country has been headed for a long time. Having watched Trump’s rallies, I knew Trump agreed with many Republicans that climate change is fake science, that fossil fuels do not damage the environment, that migrants coming to the United States are criminals and parasites, that our country should be inhabited mainly, if not wholly, by whites, and that health care should be an expensive privilege and not a right. Knowing this, I feared that Trump’s election would render my country and the rest of the world both morally and literally a wasteland. His policies since his election have confirmed, even exceeded my fears. For example, I never imagined that he would tear children from their parents’ arms and put them into dirty, crowded concentration camps... Read Lillian's full piece
