Oppression isn’t just brute force; it’s brute force wrapped in a narrative people are persuaded to accept.

When law is an instrument and power rests on shared delusions, clear‑headed people have a duty to resist; otherwise, as we now see, the very doctrines of standing, prosecutorial discretion, and emergency powers that once guarded rights become tools to erase them.

When reason rules, law becomes a safeguard rather than a weapon.

Here's to the ongoing restoration of our freedoms through our nation's ongoing return to reasoned rule.
