Smoke chokes the horizon of Los Angeles.
Thousands run from the fire—
while those in power burn the future for profit.
This isn’t disaster.
It’s policy.
And the only thing worth saving now
is each other.

Obedience without orders.
Capitulation before the blow.
Some kneel from fear.
Others kneel for favor.
But tyranny feeds only itself.
It takes your dignity, your name, your spine—
and gives you nothing back but ash.
Refuse to bow.
Refuse to follow.

You are not here to serve the rich.
You are not here to suffer quietly so someone else can buy another yacht.
You are not disposable.
Fight back against any government
that tells you your life is worth less
because your bank account is smaller.
Dignity is not negotiable.

If you weren’t in those rooms—
why hide the names?
If you weren’t on the list—
why bury the files?
Survivors have screamed into silence long enough.
Trump’s fear of the truth is louder than any denial.
We’re not stupid.
Hide the lies, but we still see you.

It’s one gut‑punch after another:
tax cuts for billionaires, ICE raids on families, churches turned into PACs.
These are not policy disagreements.
They are moral assaults on our democracy.
You don’t need to swallow them.

They promise paradise for the wealthy—

Tax breaks for the few. Cuts to Medicaid, food, clean energy.

SCOTUS silences judges—limits justice.
A “monumental victory”?
Not if it means stopping care, protection, rights.
When the law turns on its own guardians,
the failure is not with them—but with a system losing its compass.
Stay vigilant.

Bombs are not strength.

When a man trades diplomacy for fire,
it is not power.
