do not let apathy be the norm. mourn the lives of strangers you have never met. love the children across the globe, who's names you never knew. fascism thrives on dehumanization. do not give it a space to grow.
This #MLKDay, remember my father by:
Amplifying and advocating for the end of state-sanctioned and facilitated violence against Black and Brown immigrants and against people, period.
Speaking up for people who are suffering genocide in Sudan. Palestine, Congo, and other nations.
Calling and writing your Congresspersons in support of democracy as opposed to dictatorship.
Supporting policies to eradicate poverty (higher minimum wage, affordable housing, etc)
Learning the truth about and challenging anti-Black racism, which is still prevalent in healthcare, media, lending practices, the criminal “justice” system, etc.

Keilar: There are military members of the guard and reserve. They are protected by law from being fired from their day job while they're deployed. I have learned that at one agency, an employee who is actually currently deployed with the military has been notified they’ve been fired.
Miller: I'm sorry, I'm confused by your question. Is your question does the president have the authority to fire a member of the U.S. Military…. I don't know what laws you're referring to. I would love for you to be more specific.
