One cannot strip away the liberties of another without consequence.
Learn from Mr Douglass. His words from 1852 are not irrelevant today but are, sadly, hauntingly more accurate than they should be in this modern age.
Equality & equity are the metrics of liberty & justice.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.
Frederick Douglass

ICE Agents in Colorado Go Door to Door Demanding IDs and Asking People to Turn In Their Neighbors

Democracy Now ICE Agents in Colorado Go Door to Door Demanding IDs and Asking People to Turn In Their Neighbors

Masked agents knocking on doors, demanding that residents show IDs, and urging them to snitch on neighbors, while buses wait nearby to disappear people is full-fledged Nazi behavior.

The GOP knows Trump’s Tax Scam with massive Medicaid cuts is wildly unpopular. That’s why they held their hearing at 1 AM β€” to hide their bill from the American people. Don’t let them get away with it. If a Republican represents you, demand that they reject this bill: indivisible.org/reso...

Rescinding the Definition of β€œHarm” Under the Endangered Species Act The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) (collectively referred to as the Services or we) are proposing to rescind the regulatory definition of "harm" ...

The Trump administration is attempting to change the definition of 'harm' in the Endangered Species Act so they can open up protected lands for logging and resource mining. This will undo years of conservation efforts. Please comment to oppose this attempt. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

Meme. A smiling head labelled "billionaires" says, "celebrities in space!" A second head, labelled "regular people," says, "ok." The second head is full of scribbles and the words, "I can't afford groceries. Medicaid is about to be cut and I'm 1 health emergency away from bankruptcy. I already felt like I was never gonna retire and now they want to cut social security."

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

HOLY SHIT. You need to read this in its entirety. Way too much to even begin to summarize but it's really, REALLY bad. It's just one agency, NLRB, but it's likely happening at others. We are under attack, seemingly from the inside. What's happening here should put folks in prison

I gotta tell you guys something--I appreciate the letter writing and all that...but I just do not feel like it meets the moment.

If you have ever read history and thought to yourself "WHY DIDN'T THE GERMANS RIOT IN 1933?!" you are standing in that moment right now.

What are you doing about it?
