The Trump/Musk administration has been running roughshod through the government for more than three months now. They claim the goal is to cut waste and fraud. So far, these claims have proved unfounded. Their accomplishments, to name just a few, have been unlawfully firing thousands of federal workers, unlawfully closing agencies and bureaus, unlawfully ignoring court orders, issuing so many, many Executive Orders that are contrary to law that the courts have issued numerous restraining orders to stop their implementation. Trump has threatened the whole world, except Russia, with record high tariffs. This has tanked the stock market and is slowing the economy. He has unlawfully deported immigrants without due process of law... and the list goes on and on. He has also used his office to intimidate all levels of education with threats to cut funding over DEI, threatened the news media he doesn’t like, and otherwise is being a lawless authoritarian by every measure. Note the common theme: lawlessness.
Make no mistake, your country and your way of life is under attack. Immigrants, documented or not, are not rising up to overthrow our laws and institutions. Foreign powers are not invading to do similarly (well maybe Putin). The oft vilified liberals and progressives are not weakening your constitutional rights. People getting by on Social Security are not plotting huge tax cuts to benefit billionaires. No. This attack is not from the without. It is from within. Extreme far right ideologues are the attackers. Trump is just a tool, and a good one, malleable, easily manipulated and easily distracted (except about tariffs). Over the last 40 years they have used people like him and fooled the conservative community to slowly and steadily drive a wedge between us based on fear. Fear of gays (when that failed, trans people), fear of losing gun rights, fear of government, fear of losing religion, fear of electric vehicles, fear of conservation, and in general fear of anyone or anything that is different from their idea of normal.
Too many fellow citizens applaud this disorder and confusion believing it is somehow to their advantage. Too many stand silent hoping it will all go away or that someone on a white horse will save the day.
I and many others do not trust in hope or prescribe to fear. We will not be silent or be intimidated into silence. I will be howling to anyone who will listen. I will, as best I can, uphold my oath from long ago to defend our Constitution from all threats and defend the rule of law. I will do my best to convince others to join the fray on the right side of history. I will join others of like mind to take collective action to stop this evil. We will be on the white horses. Democracy is the only form of government I know of worth fighting for. Democracy only prevails if good people stand against evil. Join in. You will feel better. People from around the world and far into the future will thank you when we win.
