Summary

The Trump administration is actively seeking to destroy everything we know, but we can’t allow it. We need to fight back. Do more than we’re doing now. This is a nation built on causing a ruckus. So, that’s what the good citizens of America must do. We must recommit to the principles of truth, justice and freedom and stand up and fight for them. Trump is waging a systemic war against facts, intelligence and the rule of law. Our elections and our very sense of agency and power within this nation are at stake. So week need to understand what’s happening and we need to oppose it. Join us and we talk about how. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.
