Donald Trump’s plan is one that’s been repeated over and over again by dictators across history — inciting the local population before sending disrupters.
That’s how you convert a democracy into something else.
Illinois won’t fall for this ploy.

People working in or visiting museums in DC:
Please use your phones to record politically/racially/sexuality/gender sensitive exhibits before the Trump administration desecrates them with its white supremacist heteronormative propaganda.
