Travis Swift is going to be such a great football player name
The man bent down, puzzled. “She said it was better to reign in heaven than serve in hell,” he said doubtfully. “That’s a quotation,” said the other. “But she’s got it wrong.” “No, I haven’t,” said Victoria, and fainted. - Agatha Christie

If every single parent pulled their kids out of school and refused to send them until something was done - something would change.

Before everyone freaks out, please remember states manage their schools and each school district has a board. They choose their curriculum - and parents and citizens have a say. Curriculum is not a sweeping federal thing.

The most important thing to know about Trump’s manufactured crisis in DC is that his administration is still covering up what’s in the Epstein files.

Outside courthouses across America, complicit judges are dropping years-long immigration cases to aid ICE abductions in their hallways. There was a time, not long ago, when we asked immigrants to follow the laws of our land. In Trump's America, we're arresting the rule-followers. Don't look away!

Stop. We're not rioting here in Los Angeles. Trump isn't removing criminals. He's scooping up our friends and neighbors and denying them due process. We're protecting them with our bodies and making it difficult for ICE to commit these crimes. There is a difference.
