“If you don’t see all of this as one of the darkest days in American history, in which the President is openly embracing disappearing people without due process in the name of “liberty,” you are a part of the problem.

As someone who studied the post-WWII order in pursuit of his History degree, I can’t even begin to describe my reaction to today’s events at the White House. Stunned is part of it. Horrified is another part. Words truly do fail me in the face of such utter, craven betrayal.
Hey folks, got a #fedihired call on behalf of a US-based friend. She’s an editorial strategist, an author and technical writer, and someone with a lot of content strategy, content marketing, and related experience. Would make a great devrel as well, in my opinion. If you’ve got something she’d be a fit for, ping her over at https://www.linkedin.com/in/amberwalters-editorial-strategist/ or reply here with links and I’ll make sure she sees them. Thanks for any help, fedigang!
