Trump Education Department Problem Just Got Worse, Andrew Shulz Tesla Controversy, & Today's News

Reminder that every time the government has taken away rights from citizens, they first tested the waters on non citizens and the marginalized first.

That story about the French scientist that got denied entry for not liking Trump should be a HUGE red flag.
