“What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? … The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.” –TJ, 1787
Two weeks ago I did a thread on how the Founding Fathers declared independence from the crown for behaving literally the same way as the Trump administration.
It's getting worse and Americans need to connect today's events to this founding document.

I just re-read the full Declaration of Independence. It's the most illuminating and depressing thing I've read in a while. Highly recommend folks give it a read.
Many — if not most — of the complaints levied against King George are indistinguishable from those brought against President Trump today.

“The equal rights of man, and the happiness of every individual are now acknoleged to be the only legitimate objects of government. Modern times have the signal advantage too of having discovered the only device by which these rights can be secured, to wit, government by the people.” –TJ, 1823.
The Trump regime is claiming tyrannical powers. Not an exaggeration, not hyperbole, not a partisan statement. The reality we now face.
If the government can pay a foreign state to imprison you and, in so doing, remove you from the protection of US law, the Constitution is worthless.
