Paving the Rose Garden, pushing tariffs on Brazil because of an internal legal decision, attacking Canada, appointing obviously authoritarian judges to the courts, dismissing honest civil servants, redacting Trump’s name from the Epstein files–the list goes on and on and on. Big important matters, small petty actions, personal vendettas carried out with government power, illegal deportations, personal financial gain, lies about science, attacks on public broadcasting, strengthening China, harming long-standing allies....
Big stuff. Small stuff. Silly stuff. Things that are just stupid. Things that will change the future of our planet. And the Republicans in Congress fall into line. And the networks grovel. And the law firms cave. And the universities bend. And the MAGA cult cheers.
There are some islands of resistance. People fighting back against ICE. People organizing demonstrations. Reporters who still speak the truth. Men and women who refuse to be afraid.
Be one of those people. Speak out. Fight back. You don’t need to stand in front of a tank, but don’t be complicit.
