The views expressed by the President do not reflect the views of people in the United States. Once again his words and behaviors show he does not represent the beliefs of the majority of the United States. His actions have destroyed or severely harmed relationships with others around the world. He must apologize as he is also putting many lives in danger by his words and deeds.

This President has made a mockery of our country and our heritage of welcoming immigrants and celebrating diversity. I'm embarrassed by this President and his remarks. Everyone in this country should be. Our U.S. representatives should show their disdain and turn their backs on him at this grave moment in history.

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke announced a disastrous plan to allow new offshore oil and gas drilling in nearly all United States coastal waters, including New York. Protect the environment and waters of New York.

I believe that climate change is the greatest threat posed to the world.

Mark Gagan has always been forthright, intelligent, helpful, responsible and articulate. He epitomizes community involved policing. We are amazed that the Richmond Police Department, instead of using progressive discipline including suspension, reduction in rank or a written reprimand, would fire Captain Gagan.

Trump called Haiti a ‘shithole’ country the day before Haiti's 8th years anniversary of one the most tragic catastrophic magnitude 7.0 earthquake which Death toll estimates range from 100,000 to about 160,000

"Trump's comments about immigrants from 'shithole countries' is among the worst statements he has ever uttered. It might very well be the worst. "To have this outrage come as we approach the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is to cast in sharp relief the moral gulf between America as envisioned by the civil rights activist and our current President. It was Dr. King who said, 'I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.' By all accounts, Mr. Trump does not now and has never believed in such an America. "This is undeniably and clearly outright racist. It simply cannot be allowed to continue by anyone who cares about the future of this country. This is sad. It is hurtful. It is dangerous. It is unpatriotic. Each elected official, each American, has a choice: where do you stand? Some may say this helps the President with his base. What about how it debases the values of our nation? This rhetoric has to be damned at every turn, at every time. That millions of hard working men, women, and children have lives that hang in the balance at the whims of this President only makes this moment all the more tragic. Make no mistake, America is diminished today in the eyes of the world and in the eyes of history. It will be up to every decent person to make sure that this is not our destiny." - Dan Rather (on Facebook, 1/11/18)

Racism should be a thing of the past My wife is African American and she cried about the President's remarks. I am Caucasian.

This petition is to honor Senator Dianne Feinstein for being brave and releasing the Fusion GPS testimony to the American people so that we know the truth and can judge for ourselves if there was collusion between President Trump and the Russians as we have suspected all along. You are our hero.

President Trump has repeatedly stated that “you can’t say things that aren’t true.”

We believe that Fresno State owes its students, its employees, and its community a strong stand for academic freedom, for freedom of speech, for quality education, and against right-wing violence. We, therefore, demand that Fresno State renew the contract of Dr. Lars Maischak and allow him to teach in the classroom in his field of History. BACKGROUND In April of 2017, right-wing media outlets accused Dr. Maischak of advocating for, or planning to commit, acts of murder and assassination. In this matter, Dr. Maischak was thoroughly investigated by the Secret Service and exonerated of any wrongdoing. The intent of Dr. Maischak's widely-reported statements, scandalized by right-wing propagandists, was to warn of the future consequences of the actions and ideas of the present administration and its supporters. His position was based on his scholarly understanding of History, stemming from his experience as a native of Germany and a student of the history of both Germany and America. Scholars and an interested public may disagree that Trumpism stands in the tradition of European Fascism; although many vocal supporters of Mr. Trump proudly embrace that very tradition. In a free society, and in the academy, a disagreeable view is not a crime, nor cause for punitive measures by an employer, nor a justification for public vilification and threats of violence. It is, rather, an invitation to explore the evidence underlying such a view, to debate its merits, and to engage in public discourse. In making his statements, Dr. Maischak's exercised his constitutionally protected right of free speech and followed his conscience as a scholar. The death threats against Dr. Maischak and other members of the campus community come from a segment of the population now routinely deployed to terrorize dissenters. Dozens of scholars, artists, actors, activists, and journalists have been targeted with the same playbook in 2017. For Fresno State to give in to the threat of violence is to capitulate to this orchestrated campaign of intimidation. Timidity in the face of threats emboldens those who seek to silence critical voices, and thus exposes others to similar attacks. Fresno State has removed Dr. Maischak from classroom teaching duties, ordered him to design online classes, and teach these classes in the Spring of 2018, while his present, three-year contract is in effect. Past actions and statements of Fresno State suggest their intent to deny a renewal of Dr. Maischak's contract at the time of its expiration. We believe that the University has erred in its past actions towards Dr. Maischak and that it would commit a moral, political, and academic mistake by not renewing his contract. To hear Dr. Maischak lay out his argument, listen to his interview with Chauncey DeVega: http://www.chaunceydevega.com/2017/10/a-conversation-with-lars-maischak-about.html

Donald Trump lowered the bar even further with his vile comments about Haiti, El Salvador and African countries. He reconfirmed what we already know: he has fully embraced white supremacy and there are no limits to his attacks on people of color. His comments do not reflect the American values many of us hold close to our hearts. His disgraceful approach to immigration reform is leaving millions of young immigrants and TPS holders vulnerable to his deportation machine.
