John,
Donald Trump just declared that on his first day back in office, he would pardon the January 6 rioters — the same people who attacked the Capitol, beat law enforcement officers, and tried to overturn a free and fair election.
As if that weren’t horrifying enough, he also vowed to jail members of the House Select Committee who investigated the insurrection.
Think about that. Trump is promising to reward violent insurrectionists and punish those who sought the truth.
This is a clear blueprint for dismantling our democracy and replacing it with authoritarian rule.
We need to talk about this. And here’s why:
If we stay silent, if we ignore these threats, Trump and his MAGA allies will take it as a green light to normalize violence, undermine justice, and silence anyone who stands in their way.
Conversations matter. When you talk to your friends, family, and neighbors about what’s happening, you’re doing more than venting your anger — you’re raising the alarm. You’re helping people understand that this isn’t just politics as usual, this is absolutely unhinged and scary.
Talk to people. Share your outrage. Spread the truth. Because the more of us who are awake, aware, and angry, the stronger our resistance becomes.
Stay angry. Stay loud. Stay vigilant.
