Really great article! I love learning about our neighbors. Steve, I'd encourage you to consider the attacks on transgender identity as well as the curtailment of abortion rights as clear attacks on civil rights. I know the curtailment of abortion rights started before the current administration, but millions of young women (including my daughters) face a lifetime of uncertainty, limits, and risks that they did not face two years ago. I'm not sure if Jeff made this point.
I completely agree and wanted to add, Transgender folks in the military being ousted and not being able to renew their passports to leave the country, erasure of minority groups information and resources from government websites, America being added to the Global Human Rights watchlist all being examples of America's civil liberties crisis. As well as Government contractors being allowed to segregate now..
