Like a clogged sewer erupting into the streets, Donald Trump returned to office on Mon, &, as promised, unleashed his filth upon the country. In a flurry of #lawless, #unconstitutional, #racist, #bigoted, #violent, &, in some cases, plainly stupid #ExecutiveOrders & #pardons, Trump set his reign of #terror in motion. The future we feared has officially arrived.

Trump signed an #ExecutiveOrder that will attempt to amend the #14thAmendment to revoke #BirthrightCitizenship. The president cannot change the #Constitution on his own, so it’s not yet clear how Trump plans to withhold the benefits of #citizenship to a group of people born in the #UnitedStates. The move is all but certain to be challenged in court.
