Repression almost never announces itself by targeting everyone at once. It begins quietly, aimed at minorities, those with less power, fewer allies, or voices that are easier to ignore. Their rights are restricted, their freedoms narrowed, and their suffering dismissed as exceptional or deserved.

Everyone with authority must speak out now against Trump's depravity and lawlessness.
Every Democratic leader.
Every university, professional association, charity, and foundation head.
Every CEO.
Every religious leader.
If they don't, history will condemn their cowardice and complicity.

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up.
Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.
