Fighting Back Becomes The New Norm

As you know Trump attempted to wield his executive order power yesterday by blocking federal grants & loans that would devastate the lives of Americans which is so apropos that it falls on the Chinese New Year’s celebration of the year of the Snake that is considered the most tenacious of the 12 zodiac animals. Then we should revisit the meaning of our own historical “Don't Tread On Me" Gadsden American flag with a yellow field depicting a timber rattlesnake coiled & ready to strike. “Don't Tread On Me" is a warning against oppression or interference essentially saying "do not try to control or dominate me" & is most commonly associated with the American Revolutionary War era. If Trump studied American history instead of his Nazi dominance obsession maybe things would be different right now. In the meantime lawsuits are being filed throughout the USA challenging his orders. In the wake all of his anti-LGBTQ executive orders that are headed to court another Motion for Temporary Restraining Order was filed yesterday by Democracy Forward, the National Council of Nonprofits, the American Public Health Association, Main Street Alliance & SAGE the world's largest & oldest org dedicated to improving the lives of LGBTQ older people. Michael Adams SAGE CEO stated, “Blocking federal grants & loans would devastate the lives of older Americans including LGBTQ+ elders who already face unique challenges. These individuals are more vulnerable to health issues, disabilities & social isolation & often struggle to access the care & services they need. This reckless decision puts entire communities at risk. We must work together now to protect our older neighbors, friends & loved ones before it’s too late.”
