...never in my lifetime have I seen such open racism from the government, from any president.

The main issue for me in this is the way that so many Americans who aren't black or a woman still believe they can stay out of the way of this tyranny just because they don't share the attributes of the targets of Trump's abuse.

We can't get the country to stand up as if it was their own humanity on the line, but I'll be they'll all expect us to be there for them when it's their turn in the barrel.
