Enough is Beyond Enough in the violation of our Constitutional rights, the rule of law, our rights as Americans and our rights as human beings.
Doing something makes a difference. Here are 4 impactful actions (thank you L4GG for first 3):

WOMEN-DOMINATED PROFESSIONS ATTACKED
Women’s professions are being stripped of their dignity, gravitas, and the ability to finance student education.
You may not be aware, but this has already happened under the Big “Ugly” Bill, passed earlier this year, for certain medical professions- limiting loans to $50,000 per year. And regulations are expected in January to squeeze women-dominated professions even more, including nursing, public health, social work and physical therapists.
How? The Trump administration will be proposing a far stricter cap, $20,500 a year, for students pursuing graduate degrees in these women-dominated professions. They will be stripped of their “professional” designations so that they will no longer entitled to a higher cap for a professional program!
Of course, this is only the first step in de-legitimizing professions that are dominated by women and forcing them out of the professional workforce.
CALL TO ACTION
The regulations will be issued in January. Please respond to this email, if you would like to volunteer to assist WLGAN to respond to these regulations.

Meet at the U.S Supreme Court at 1 PM, Saturday, Nov 15.
BOYCOTT SPOTIFY
You may have heard that Spotify is running ads for ICE. See this report. Not only does that mean that they are supporting the snatching of people by ICE without due process (including US Citizens),but also making money from these ads. If you have Spotify, please consider sending them a strong message.
Remember how effective the boycott of Disney was when Jimmy Kimmel was fired.

It’s not bad enough that this administration has fired thousands of federal workers without cause. It has now subjected all the rest to work or furlough without pay – and they are making no attempt to open the government again.
RESOURCES FOR WORKERS
Here are some resources for federal workers that might be helpful during this shutdown – thank you WBA of DC for compiling this information and standing in solidarity during this difficult time.
The WBA also invites you to join its WBA Government Attorneys Forum, which offers regular programs designed to educate, connect, and empower government attorneys and legal professionals across all levels of service.
NO KINGS
We urge everyone to attend Saturday’s rallies to send a loud and clear message of protest. Find a rally near you at www.nokings.org. And we are told to WEAR YELLOW.
See you there

I wish “Arresting and Zip Tying Children in Chicago” was the title of a fictional horror film or a headline I made up. But it’s true. ICE agents stormed an apartment building in Chicago in the wee hour of the morning while families slept, using Black Hawk helicopters and military style vehicles. They forced people out of their beds, ZIP TIED CHILDREN who were US Citizens, separating them from their parents. Then they trashed the apartments. One witness said, the people were “terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming” Here’s the news report. To me, these are Gestapo tactics, designed to terrorize people and make them submit (and worse) to an authoritarian regime.
What is your “line in the sand?” That after they cross it, you will become more active, more vocal, and more impactful? This invasion seems to me a line that every American should consider the Rubicon.
But it’s not enough to hit the angry emoji on your social media and “share” this news. We have to be visible and vocal in the next “No Kings” rally, Sat Oct 18, and surpass June 14th’s No Kings national gathering of 5 Million people. The purpose of No Kings is to make it clear that we will not be passive when an authoritarian is trying to take our jobs, our future, and our Constitution from us. And only you, individually and collectively have the power to send this message.
Saturday, October 18. If you can come to DC, please send me an email and I will let you know where we are meeting. If you can’t come to DC, find a place near you to rally, using this map.
And, if you absolutely cannot participate on Saturday, find someone who otherwise wasn’t going to attend and have them go in your place!
Thank you – we are all in this together; courage is contagious.
