“We live in a time of chaos, and this is not by accident. Over the last 100 days, the Trump administration has sought to divide and confuse us in every way, so no one knows what’s coming next. They are snatching people off the streets, arresting judges and silencing the media, to test the guardrails of democracy. They want to see how far we will let them go. This is an old playbook. It has been used by every dictator of the last century. Authoritarians thrive on the chaos they create, because it allows them to project their own image as the only source of stability. For a time, they feel invincible, and we feel increasingly alone. Yet we are not alone, and dictators are not invincible. When people turn toward each other and come together, dictators and their authoritarian regimes fall.” (05/04/25)
