Imagine you go back in time to 1928 to 1933—a period during which ordinary Germans could have prevented Hitler from rising to power through elections, protests, and strikes—and you ask Germans why they didn't act. If they told you, “Well, I did not want to annoy my friends,” “It was inconvenient,” or “My boss might have seen and objected,” would you accept that?

Would you think it was fine that 35 million to 40 million people perished in Europe in WWII because ordinary Germans passed on opportunities to speak up, voice their concerns, vote, and act?
I ask, because absolutely vital midterms are only two months away, and I see very little about it. In November, we can contain Trump and his dangerous administration, or we can leave the world and nation defenseless.

We can turn back tariffs, end stupid wars, protect lawful immigrants, defend rights, and prevent the weaponization of the justice system; or we can sit back and see just how far the nation can fall into division, violence, and undemocratic chaos.
Speak up. Press your conservative friends on Trump's broken promises. Let your MAGA family members know the time has come to vote for the nation, not the cult. And please commit to voting (in person, since God knows if mail ballots will count).

The Epstein files remain hidden; the Trump family is profiting off his office; Americans are losing their lives in a senseless war; inflation and national debt are rising; the Trump administration lies repeatedly about wars, safety, and the economy; and roving bands of masked federal agents are harassing and sometimes killing people within the US. If this isn't enough to move you to speak up and act, what will?
