a man with a crown on his head and a cane ALT: a man with a crown on his head and a cane

Found these old grievances online. Sound familiar?

He cuts off our trade with all parts of the world:
He imposes taxes on us without our consent:
He deprives us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:
He transports us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses…

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Tell your congressperson…

Tell them we are NOT ok with any marginalized community losing rights.

Tell them you want women to be able to make decisions about their own bodies and their healthcare.

Tell them you want freedom of religion, or from religion.

Whatever you need to say, say it now.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
