The first days of school feel like stepping aboard a ship already moving through restless waters. Anchors keep ships steady, but they aren’t meant to stay hidden.

The image is seared into memory: a mother, barefoot and breathless, running with shoes clutched in her hands. Her focus is singular—reaching the child she loves—while the world around her erupts with sirens, shouting, and fear.

At a Senate hearing called “Voices of the Vaccine Injured”, Senator Ron Johnson handed the microphone to anti-vaccine activists instead of scientific experts. People with ties to Children’s Health Defense (yes, that’s Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s group)

Tyranny doesn’t always arrive with a bang. Sometimes it slips in quietly, through orders made in the dark, rights gradually erased, and voices slowly silenced. But it can also come with startling speed, force, and deception - what we are experiencing now!
