Be Smart. Stay Informed. Actively Dissent.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development exists to help ensure equal access to housing following generations of government-endorsed racial segregation. Ben Carson is leading HUD in a direction completely counter to its mission.
The Trump administration is attempting to scale back federal efforts to enforce fair housing laws, freezing enforcement actions against local governments and businesses....while sidelining officials who have aggressively pursued civil rights cases.

In late May 2018, the US Senate passed bipartisan - yes I said it, bipartisan - legislation to enhance the healthcare options for our Veterans.
The Senate on Wednesday [5/23/18] overwhelmingly approved legislation paving the way for a major overhaul of the Department of Veterans Affairs and the way veterans access health care in the private sector at government expense. The measure passed by a vote of 92-5.... The House passed the bill last week by an overwhelming margin of 347-70.

Trump hates his own Justice Department Attorney General Jeff Sessions. In fact, in early June it was reported Trump won't even say Sessions' name anymore. We hate Sessions as well.... and Trump too.
And they hate women, particularly abused women seeking to escape from extreme danger. This is just unbelievable, like so many things going on right now.

Betsy DeVos is destroying the Department of Education and in turn our students and future. The Education Department has issued a new manual allowing officials to dismiss hundreds of civil rights complaints, basically because it would be a lot of work to evaluate all of them. There's so many complaints that it's best to just ignore them all. That's what DeVos and her cronies think. Disgusting.

Trump and Republicans have many ways to destroy Obamacare despite the failure to repeal it in the Senate in 2017. They eliminated the individual mandate in the 2017 tax scam that handed corporations and the wealthiest Americans billions of dollars. They have stripped reimbursements to insurers forcing them to leave the exchanges, ended marketing of the healthcare plans, and more.
The elimination of the individual mandate is causing the price of healthcare to skyrocket, making it unaffordable for millions. This is digusting and infuriating.
