They’re making their own enemies.
Trump called Tim Walz the r-word. An Indiana Republican state senator whose daughter has Down syndrome announced he’ll vote against Trump’s redistricting plan because of it. The Border Patrol commander who deported a college student despite a federal judge’s stay celebrated on social media that she “may have taken a university slot from an American citizen.” In Oregon, ICE agents stopped an Indigenous actor walking to a bus stop, told her that her tribal ID “looked fake” and “anyone can make that.”
The cruelty cascades from the top. Trump dehumanizes, his people follow. None of it was necessary, and it’s turning bystanders into resisters.
Bohacek is one vote. But there are a lot of parents of special needs kids in red states, a lot of Indigenous voters, and a lot of judges watching their orders get ignored. Call your senators and representative. Demand they condemn it or own it.
