![]() Today is the 36th Anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Of course it can happen here. Trump wanted to use the military during the George Floyd protests. Trump is less restrained in this term than he was in his awful first term. Some questions the Houston Democracy Project continues to ask-- * With HPD cooperating with ICE, what process is in place to make certain Houstonians will receive due process & not be sent/disappeared to places like the El Salvador torture prison? * If/When the Trump Administration moves forward with threats to civil liberties such as the suspension of habeas corpus, will HPD resources be used to assist Trump? We are going to have to show up no matter the challenges we are presented with in the difficult days ahead. Find a June 14 protest near you. Here is a link to 6/14 protests in the Houston region and Texas. Above is a cartoon featuring the famous man in front of a tank. Below is from the display area at the Statue of Liberty. I took the picture in April. Hopefully the picture is still up at the statue. Trump and America today is no icon or inspiration for democracy movements worldwide, but each of us can be seen by others around the world living up to the symbolism of the Statue of Liberty. Here is the Houston Democracy Project list of things each of us can do to fight back. Here is a fundraising pitch for the Houston Democracy Project. I'm doing the work and showing up in many different ways. Please help the effort. I'm on the Egberto Willies Politics Done Right Show every Thursday from 6 AM to 7 AM for the Houston Democracy Project segment. You can hear the show on the radio, stream it on KPFT or watch later Egberto's YouTube channel.
