“You may treat the current situation in America as normal. You may stay silent when someone tells you it is normal. If you do either, you are as complicit in the destruction of Democracy as Stephen Miller.”
–Paul Schindler, March 11, 2026

“Yes, we must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
—Benjamin Franklin, Aug. 2, 1776, at the signing of the parchment copy of The Declaration of Independence.

Franklin’s warning applies today. If we hang together, and speak the truth, there aren’t enough men in black masks to hang all of us.

Finally, George Washington, in 1796, declining a third term as President:

“But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth” The truth Washington describes is that  government must support your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; your safety; and your prosperity.
