First 100 Days

In Trump’s First (16) 100 (3) Days (12) FASCISM (14) Arrives (20) – (65)

And with it much of what America stands for is demolished.

·  Pardoning the January 6th rioters, many who harmed or killed police officers, while demonstrating a flagrant disregard for the rule of law.

·  Breaching historic alliances and setting the stage for NATO and many other countries to no longer trust America.

·  Giving unfettered access to Elon Musk, an undisciplined hack without any strategy, to fire thousands of dedicated civils servants, thus weakening the fabric of our government.

·  Denying and limiting access to the Pentagon, to media that provide in-depth and honest reporting.

·  Denying people their right to free speech by arresting those who speak against him or his actions.

·  Shuttering USAID and thus our ability to influence emerging nations and protect people from hunger and disease.

·  Reducing the Department of Education to a shell and with it destroying the long-standing educational norms which made our nation great and wise.

·  Laying the foundation to gut libraries, while supporting the banning of books.

·  Shuttering the Voice of America and with it our global influence.

·  Cutting funds to public media as if the PBS News Hour was not the most deeply evenhanded news and our children are not better for loving Big Bird or Mr. Rogers.

·  Demanding universities no longer allow academic freedom; but rather bow to his will, least he cut off their federal grants.

·  Severing funding for programs that support women’s reproductive health, while also cutting funds to programs that reduce infant mortality.

·  Slashing funds that support Medicare and Medicaid, impacting the most vulnerable of our citizens.

·  Allowing, with the shameful echo of history, even the suggestion of a list of people with Autism.

·  Cutting funds for childcare, early educational interventions programs, and food assistance, again casting aside our most vulnerable Americans.

·  Cutting Social Security which is the sole retirement income for approximately 40% of Americans, while preparing to give huge tax breaks to the wealthiest amongst us.

·  Severely cutting the IRS workforce thus enabling tax evaders, while reducing government income.

·  Slashing veterans service, from health, to housing, to education; thus, turning his back on our military heroes.

·  Pushing to drop charges against Eric Adams, who was on a clear path to conviction along with issuing pardons for other friends and confidants.

·  Banning DEI and with it silencing the heroic stories of great non-white men and ground-breaking women.

·  Bastardizing the Office of Civil Rights by removing those who actually focused on protecting civil rights and replacing them with those who focus on white supremacy.

·  Standing by as his external collaborators launch a “Professors Watch List,” a list to denigrate and endanger faculty who dare speak truths about DEI.

·  Allowing government contractors to turn back the clock and once again be segregated places of employment.

·  Firing experts who protect our nuclear stockpiles only to rehire some of them again because no one in charge appeared to understand what they actually did.

·  Standing in infamy by taking Russia’s side in its hideous war on Ukraine and then publicly, and childishly, chastising President Zelensky while preparing to cut support.

·  Cozying up to dictators and far right leaders including Putin, Organ, Ortega, Netanyahu, Meloni and Bukele.

·  Shouting ignorant threats about land grabs of Greenland, Panama, and Canada.

·  Denying the AP access to the White House because it refused to go along with Trump’s renaming the Gulf of Mexico, as it is known around the world, to the Gulf of America.

·  Denying security clearances or protection, despite clear threats to their safety, to many former government officials who disagree with him.

·  Slashing funding to our national parks, there-by reducing staff and setting the stage for privatizing.

·  Gutting FEMA and thus putting all of us at risk when bad weather or other emergencies deliver fear and devastation.

·  Cutting climate and environmental programs protections, thus endangering our planet and the wellbeing of generations to come.

·  Sending his henchmen, Musk, to unsuccessfully attempt to buy a judicial race in Wisconsin.

·  Slapping tariffs on friends and foes alike, without a strategy other than to feel important and hope other leaders gravel, as citizens watch the stock market tumble and prices rise.

·  Employing 1789 law, as if we are at war, to deport immigrants, some men to a gulag in El Salvador and women and children, some who are American citizens, to places unknown.

·  Ignoring court orders, including those of the Supreme Court, to bring back Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, to stop and/or turn around planes filled with supposedly undocumented immigrants, and to cease deportations without due process.

·  Appointing highly unqualified people to lead government agencies, while threatening members of congress if they did not vote to approve them.

·  Allowing a drunk to run the Pentagon, putting our men and women of the armed forces in danger.

·  Allowing an ill-equipped man, with no science background, to run our public health programs, studies and funding, while spreading long-debunked lies about vaccines thus, endangering the health of citizens now and for years to come.

·  Decimating public health by firing medical experts across multiple specialties within the NIH and the CDC.

·  Allowing the arrest of a sitting judge in a blatant attempt to instill fear in the judiciary. Only fascists arrest judges.

Donald Trump, our fascist leader, is hell bent on shredding the Constitution of the United States of America. FASCISM (14) Must (12) Be (10) Stopped (24) NOW (12) – (72)

“We the people” are stronger, and score higher, when we stand together against FASCISM.

Truths matter.
