Stand Up to This Administration

To: Sen. Schumer, Sen. Gillibrand, Rep. LaLota

From: A constituent in Sound Beach, NY

March 11

It is too late for tee shirts and small signs. It is too late for silence and sticking your head in the sand. The time to act is now. You have a duty and responsibility to every one of the citizens you represent to act in our best interests. You must, by any means necessary, oppose the fascist oligarchs in office from gutting your country. OUR country. We are out here fighting the good fight every day. We are here decrying white christian nationalism and tearing Nazism out of our communities with our bare hands. We have far more to lose than you. People are being disappeared and legal residents stripped of their rights and status for speaking out and actually doing something. You must help us. Do it scared. But do it, else history will not remember you fondly. You will be remembered as cowards too busy twiddling their thumbs to step in and take action against the internal threats of people like Trump and Musk. Your names will be scorned for generations as we pick up your slack and rebuild from the wreckage these scum will leave our nation in. I hope you are ashamed of yourselves. And I hope your shame, your cowardice, will be overshadowed by righteous fury of a people yearning to be free. Do more. Do better. Do it scared and do it uncertain. But do it. For yourselves, for your families, and for all of us you were chosen to represent. When the fight is over and the dust clears, you still want the survivors to vote for you, right? I can guarantee you won't get that if your impotency and hand-wringing continue. You need to step in and step up. Now. Tangibly, concretely. You must do something. Anything. This administration will not follow the rules. Maybe it's time you break a few in the name of justice, peace, and sovereignty.
