Updating Our Declaration of Independence - mine

Our government was founded to be of the people, by the people, for the people. But today, we face a presidency that is destructive of our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

It is our duty to name our grievances.

  • Donald Trump is attempting to seize unchecked power, dismantling the balance of powers that sustains our democracy.

  • Each day, his administration works to make the nation sicker—undermining healthcare, safety nets, and science.

  • He strips away benefits that extend life and support human dignity.

  • He endangers our liberty, criminalizes dissent, and stokes fear through mass deportation threats and authoritarian posturing.

  • He throws our economic future into chaos, replacing stability with uncertainty and fear.

  • He promises a future poisoned by deregulation: dirtier air, fouled water, and an unlivable planet.

  • These are not isolated policies. They are part of a pattern of rule that rejects democratic principles and threatens the well-being of all.

We must speak. We must act. And, as our founders once did, we must stand in defense of a government that serves its people.
