I was interested in watching DNC chair Perez and Bernie Sanders at their first stop on their multi-state tour, which was in Maine. However the video stopped because of some error (so frustrating) so I clicked on the next video which happened Wednesday in Maryland, I believe, and had Perez, Representative Jamie Raskin, and activist Heather McGhee talking about stuff.
The part that scared me was they were talking about many of the terrible things that the Trump administration is doing without much media coverage. We think Trump is losing and failing because that’s the constant drumbeat of the national media but in many ways the Trump adminstration is undoing much of the many regulations and rulings from the Obama era and even from all the previous administrations, from the EPA and the Labor department, the SEC and the Justice Department, that are deleting and erasing many of the safeguards that we take for granted.
One example that give me chills was Perez talking about the abolishing of the regulation on the investment corporations that offer investment advice and management for investors, that they would have to honor their fiduciary obligation to their customers. Under Trump they would have no such obligation they could take your money and invest it in a way that benefited their pockets, not yours.
These dark actions going on right now are not being covered in mainstream media, instead it’s some snarky coverage of the Trump Easter egg hunt.
Perez also talked about the horrible consequences of the confirmation of Gorsuch, that the GOP has a plan to destroy the very foundations of the Democratic Party by targeting such entities as Planned Parenthood and the labor unions, which are two of the head waters from which our Democratic activism spring.
We must be find and share these items, be aware of the many ways in which our lives are under attack.
