We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.

This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

“To be free is to take responsibility.”
~Joseph Beuys, interview dated in the 1970s

To Beuys, freedom without responsibility collapses into chaos or manipulation. Freedom is not instinctive; it is a practiced, intentional pursuit.

‘I call on people to be 'obsessed citizens,' forever questioning and asking for accountability. That's the only chance we have today of a healthy and happy life.’
