How tragic—and how urgent the need for truth, solidarity, and real change.

This is where we are in 2025: a nation where racist, wealthy elites continue to divide us and convince their supporters that their own suffering is somehow a victory against liberals, Black people, people of color, and other historically oppressed groups.

Tragically, the majority of those who will be most harmed by this legislation are the very people who voted for tRUMP/Vance in the 2024 election. And those who didn’t vote for this agenda? They’ll suffer too.

“We need to say ‘never again’ and then, crucially, we need to mean it. We cannot turn our eyes away nor sleepwalk into destruction as those before us did. We must see, we must learn, and we must remember.”

How do we make this time the last time?”

“But how many times do we want to repeat the process? How often do we wish to relax, complacently, upon our victories an ls ignore the dark slivers of Imperial ideology that lurk within the shadows, just biding their time.

“There is much hope that can be found in the realization that resistance and rebellion will always rise to meet totalitarianism.

“Cooperation, collaboration, and shared empathy are the antidote to a system designed to destroy and constrict.”

A work of fiction mirroring real life:

“While the Empire intended to be an oppressive regime, it would not have lasted as long as it did if there was not at least some popular support for it from those who were being ruled.”
