What would you tell the powers that be to keep their ‘hands off!’ of?
All the agencies. I feel appalled about the firings—those doing medical research at NIH, & at USAID, the VA, NPS, Education, Medicare & Social Security! Also, the disregard for the rule of law. Turning our back on Ukraine and our Western Allies and empowering Russia is criminal. I’m very worried about the accumulation of power in the executive branch, with very little to check him. He’s following a playbook towards autocracy.

The things that I’d say “Hands Off” about big time are our bodies and our national parks—I’m working at REI, so that explains that one. It’s just all overwhelming, and unprecedentedly frightening.

Immigrant rights and fair elections. Racism and White supremacy too, but that’s not a “hands off” topic.

National Parks. Immigrant rights. Social Security.

I think Trump is not for the Constitution in a big way—and I’m on Social Security, so that’s a big concern for me.

Immigrants. Social security. Medicare. Libraries.
