In case you were waiting to get involved politically for the day the concentration camps pop up, today's your day.
This should concern us all. You cannot speak of freedom and liberty and then support this regime’s actions.

Did you know you can do your own search of the Epstein Files which have been released at www.justice.gov/epstein?
Within 5 minutes, your jaw will hit the floor because they haven't yet released everything. In other words, this is what they're comfortable sharing with the public.

Oh wow. Can't wait until they calculate the money he spent sending ICE and Border Patrol and everybody else all over the country, too. Thank God they didn't waste all that money on stuff nobody needs, like...oh, I don't know...good healthcare, affordable medicine, something really dumb.

If rulers aren’t inherently superior, then what gives them authority?
John Locke answered plainly that authority is granted by obtaining the consent of the people being governed.
No consent. No legitimacy.
Government must be FOR ALL THE PEOPLE.

What gives a government the right to rule?
Ask Putin. Ask Xi. Ask Kim.
Their answer is simple:
“The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.”
That’s not leadership. That’s domination.
Our gov't must not follow suit.

In other words, empathy isn’t weakness. It’s a survival trait. Without it, we are beasts in the wild lost in our sad, short little lives.
But with it, we are civilization.

Freedom isn’t just “no one stopping you.” Case in point, if you're broke, uneducated, unsupported, you're not free. You're stranded.
Freedom means having the capability to act. That takes community.
