ALL LIBERAL EVERYTHING.

A letter with the text “Call me a guaranteed income program, because I support you unconditionally.”

Which policy proposal would you write a valentine to? #UBI

Some people choose to eat their Kit Kat this way. Others don’t. Yet, the diversity of ways to eat a Kit Kat doesn’t hurt anyone and only makes everyone happier.

Maybe this can be applied to other things too.

YouTube video by Equal Freedom Institute Power to the Powerless with Otto Lehto

We're thrilled to share another interview from the Liberal Emancipation series. This time, we chat with a contributor. Listen to Otto Lehto talk about his chapter here: youtu.be/dhc0mK9YETg

“The administration’s actions in Minnesota are a complete betrayal of America’s founding values. Occupation and violence against local communities by a distant centralized government led this country to declare its independence 250 years ago this July. Patriots like Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down in the history books as our generation’s Crispus Attucks.”

The Equal Freedom Institute joins the Nation of Laws Coalition to condemn the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents. Read the full release here: lawdayofaction.org/ice-in-mn-st...

US state lawmakers push to allow lawsuits against ICE agents Illinois last month became the first state to pass such a law.

"Several Democratic-led states are pursuing laws trying to enable people to sue federal agents deployed to their communities for civil rights abuses." #ICE

When the state asks the private sector to spy on you, who’s in charge of respecting your rights?

When gvts bully apps like Discord to adopt data collection to “save the children,” we pay the price. It lets them collect info they can’t collect themselves, but can ask a firm to hand over at any time.

Bad Bunny is Puerto Rican, making him an American by birth. There’s only one way you can be more American than that, and that’s being an American by choice. #SuperBowl #Immigration

LET KIDS PLAY SPORTS: Imagine a law meant to make you, and only you, suffer. This is the reality for young trans athletes. State legislatures have passed transgender athlete bans in states where there are fewer than ten young trans athletes without any scientific evidence that their inclusion is problematic.

There is no reason for trans athlete bans in schools. State legislatures cannot continue to punish a small number of kids to court favor with cable news hosts.

Figuring out who you are as a teenager is hard enough without government overreach.

And, in the interest of completeness: immigration "judges" are themselves just bureaucrats anyways

Okay, I'm now hearing reports of other locals being removed from Minnesota rapid response for interacting with press, as well as some "organizers" instituting onerous screening processes to join these networks.

It's time for local leaders to step in. These policies are incredibly counterproductive.

Let's abolish ICE. It isn't a radical idea. The organization is barely old enough to drink.

With that as the starting point, the interesting question for community leaders is what pro-immigrant border policy truly looks like. #ICE #AbolishICE

Trump, in an Escalation, Calls for Republicans to ‘Nationalize’ Elections

After the last few days it's safe to say that, while the Doomers' prognosis is unjustified and their prescription worthless, their diagnosis of the situation is increasingly persuasive

Liberal Emancipation This contributed volume explores the topic of emancipation and economics within the liberal system of thought.

"What the world needs, I think, more than ever, is liberal emancipation, both as an overarching response to our challenging age and as redress for the misguided ideas... proposed as the chief means to deal with contemporary traumas."

An image of the liberty bell with the text “On February 1, 1865, President Lincoln signed the Congressional resolution sending the Thirteenth Amendment to the states.”

Today marks the day President Lincoln signed the Thirteenth Amendment, sending it to the states for ratification. The Constitution doesn't require the President's signature for an amendment, but he decided to endorse it anyway. #BlackHistoryMonth

When neighbors solve problems together without waiting for a mandate, that's freedom. Real change starts from the bottom up, not the top down. What can you build today?

When the Founders declared independence, they affirmed the equal rights & dignity of all people, who were endowed with the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

No Founder conceived of a person's worth or rights as being contingent on where they were born.

Blood and soil rejected.

EFI: A conversation with Dr. Mikayla Novak, Editor of Liberal Emancipation

"The liberal agenda has historically been at the forefront of ideological doctrines unremittingly in pursuit of equal freedom for all people." - Dr. Mikayla Novak

Anonymous federal agents can't coexist with democracy. The foundation of our republic is at stake. #ICE

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: lead, follow, or get the fuck out of the way

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.-- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

The 250th anniversary of these words is exactly 23 weeks from today. Thousands of patriots died to make them a reality. It's a good day for all Americans to ask themselves: what would they have thought of what I'm doing right now?

"A body of men, holding themselves accountable to nobody, ought not to be trusted by any body." -Thomas Paine
