Be Smart. Stay Informed. Actively Dissent.
Television, print media, and the American public are not properly focused on the impact this administration is having on our standing in the world. This is due to an endless series of destructive executive orders, tweets with false accusations, attempted bans of Muslims, a terrible Supreme Court lifetime appointment..... and so much more.
Fareed Zakaria of CNN and the Washington Post, points out that the impacts will be significant and long lasting:

Dictators stay in power by not allowing a vote for their position at all or staging an "election" that is controlled in a manner that pre-determines the results. In the United States, something so brazen seems unimaginable. Wake up. We need to view the executive order to eliminate non-existent voter fraud as directly from a dictator playbook, supported not just by Trump, but by a Republican Party determined to hold onto power at all costs.

To start the month of May off as poorly as every month of this administration, Trump issued a memo immediately eliminating the "Let Girls Learn" program operated by the Peace Corps. This is a continued public and intentional campaign to eliminate as many beneficial programs started under President Obama. There's no justification besides ideological hatred and an incredible lack of intelligence to explain how a group of individuals would use to their power to harm children and our society as a whole.

While everyone was rightfully focused on the firing of the FBI director, Director John Thompson of the U.S. Census Bureau abruptly resgined after Congress refused to provide adequate funding for the upcoming 2020 census.

BE SMART ABOUT is an unfortunate series highlighting examples of those in power who you need to stay informed about so you can share this knowledge and together we can Be Smart and Actively Dissent.
