#NOKINGS a preamble for June 14. "We are here because we refuse to die inside.
Because when power is used to suppress truth—
when the boot of government lands on the neck of its own citizens—
resistance is not just justified.
It is required."

Knowing the Beach Boys—really knowing them—is, in many ways, knowing postwar America. The innocence and the illusion. The sun-drenched dream and the unraveling beneath it.

Do not let fear keep you home. Let it push you forward. Because if you feel afraid to stand in the streets, it’s because they want you to be. That fear is the sound of tyranny knocking. And history does not remember the cautious. It remembers the ones who stood.

If we answer power with violence, we will not weaken its grip—we will feed it.
Violence is not resistance. It is surrender to the script written by the state.
