Mark Zuckerberg is eroticism of pleasure audre lordetaking his strongest political stance yet—and calling for action.
Just minutes after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the repeal of the DACA immigration program, the CEO of Facebook posted on Facebook.

It is particularly cruel to offer young people the American Dream, encourage them to come out of the shadows and trust our government, and then punish them for it," Zuckerberg wrote.
On Monday, the Trump administration announced the repeal of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), a program that protected the children of illegal immigrants from being deported in the United States. The Obama administration introduced the program in 2012 as it tried to reform the country's immigration policies.
Zuckerberg has been quite outspoken about the need for more reform in immigration policy in the United States. He is the leader behind FWD.us, a lobby group focused on the matter. That organization sent a letter to President Trump last week, urging them to keep DACA in place. Hundreds of CEOs from major tech companies, including Apple, Google, Amazon, and Uber, signed on.
Despite the amount of money and time and the words Zuckerberg has written and spoken about immigration, the program was repealed.
But the fight isn't over yet. Zuckerberg is encouraging Congress to pass new legislature to support Dreamers, the name given to immigrant children who qualify for the act to grant them a pathway to citizenship.
"For years, leaders from both parties have been talking about protecting Dreamers. Now it's time to back those words up with action. Show us that you can lead. No bill is perfect, but inaction now is unacceptable," Zuckerberg wrote.
Of course, Zuckerberg isn't the only one in Silicon Valley taking issue with the removal of DACA.
