  1. Bemoaning the President's harm to society and high misdeeds is not enough. Article 2, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution was created for a time such as this and a President such as Trump. It's past time to do more than talk.

  2. If President Trump compared persons of any ethnicity or religion to termites, I would call that statement bigoted. Since Minister Farrakhan has compared Jews to termites, I must call that statement bigoted. Bigotry is unacceptable regardless of the source.

  3. Just as we fought to eliminate poll taxes and literacy tests, which prevented African-Americans from voting, we must now eliminate voter suppression procedures in the registration & voting process at Prairie View A&M University and across the nation.

  4. It's a dangerous time for journalists, from to . We must ensure that an independent investigation is conducted into the disappearance of both journalists. Criticism is vital to democracy & we must protect those who are willing to keep us accountable.

  7. Mr. President, children are still separated from their parents because of your bigoted border separation policy. This coupled with many examples of your bigotry is enough for people of good will to call for your resignation.

  11. If we delayed Merrick Garland indefinitely, then we can delay Brett Kavanugh temporarily. The Senate’s decision will either show how far America has come since Anita Hill or how far we have to go after Dr. Ford. History will judge us.

  12. As an imperfect voter, I am reminded that the right to vote was not always available to all Americans. In honor of our ancestors who fought tirelessly for voting rights, register to vote here . The deadline in Texas is Oct 9th.

  13. Mr. President, the Justice Department and its employees are independent watchdogs for the people NOT dependent lapdogs for the President. As a member of the Justice Department, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is NOT your lapdog.

  14. Mr. President, you are imminently correct. YOU don’t have an Attorney General. The United States of America has an Attorney General, & when YOU have an Attorney General, the country loses. AG Jeff Sessions is not your private lawyer. He works for the people, NOT for you.
