“First, we must face the harsh reality that the freedom many of us feel is slipping away has never been a universal reality for everyone in this nation. From its inception, there have always been folks who were never listed under the category of “all” when we heralded liberty and justice.”
How can we celebrate today when liberty and justice for all seem so far away?

Ray Bradbury said, ‘You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.’ That’s where we are. But here’s the good news: WE STILL HAVE THE BOOKS. So read them, share them, and remind these book banners that their fear of ideas isn’t our problem—it’s theirs.

I’m seeing tons posts from veterans and active military that “marching out of step” is a silent protest. ✊🏻
As the military has been used as political pawns recently, I applaud them for this maneuver. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The Library of Congress just delivered a masterclass in independence—blocking Trump appointees after he abruptly fired the Librarian. Staff stood firm, called Capitol Police, and refused to cede control. A bold stand for the separation of powers when it matters most. This is the way.

Oh, look. The five-time draft dodger has an opinion. Man, gtfo.
Veterans Day began as Armistice Day, honoring the end of World War I—then it was changed to honor ALL who served.
Now Trump wants to rename it. Reframe it. Twist it into a tribute to conquest.
Veterans don’t need rewritten history. They need respect—and the benefits they earned.
