A New Declaration of Independence from Tyranny
Effective July 4, 2025
When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for a people to break from a leader who governs with cruelty, contempt, and corruption, they should declare the causes that impel them to separate.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all people are created equal, endowed with inherent dignity and unalienable rights—among these are life, liberty, equality, and the pursuit of justice.
It is understood that governments derive their power from the consent of the governed. Therefore, when a leader acts without consent, it is the people’s right to unite in opposition.
The current holder of high office has shown himself to be unfit to lead a free and just society.
* He disrespects women, mocking survivors of violence and shredding their rights.
* He fuels racism and white supremacy, scapegoating communities of color.
* He assaults free speech, attacking the press, suppressing dissent, and spreading lies.
* He exploits public office for private gain, enriching himself and other billionaires while stealing from the poor.
* He ignores the rule of law and places himself above it.
* He disregards science, endangering lives and the planet.
* He fans division, incites violence, and stokes fear to tighten his grasp on power.
And so we declare our independence from this tyrant.
We withdraw our consent.
We refuse to be complicit.
We stand for dignity, truth, equality, and justice.
Together, we pledge to resist oppression.
To protect the elderly, the poor, the sick, and the weak.
And to build a future based on empathy and community.

I know many of you feel hopeless right now.
I don't blame you.
But hopelessness isn't a plan.
You're not alone.
There are millions of us.
We'll get through this.
The work starts now.
Love,

I suggest that someone sneak into the Oval Office and replace the version Trump has on his wall with this. Put it in a gold frame with the proper letter style, he will never know the difference.
