Intimidation, Fear and Silence in the Age of Trump
When our children complain that they are being bullied, we tell them to stand up for themselves. As Americans, we must embody this principle. Our founders would be disturbed by current developments
Since our leaders don’t have the courage to stand up to save our democracy, it falls to us average citizens to be brave and risk the wrath of the MAGA faithful
At 78 years of age, I refuse to witness our nation's descent into authoritarianism.
