SIMON ROSENBERG:
Thanks for posting this. It’s confirmation that there is a long fight ahead.
Is there any hope with SCOTUS and tariffs?
Really helpful!
🌟🇺🇸 “When Democracy Wasn’t a Police State”
We remember a time,
not too long ago,
when Main Street could blossom
and small shops could grow.
When government’s message
to neighbors was clear:
“Start up your dream—
we’ll help, not interfere.”
But then came the tariffs,
the taxes in disguise,
that jacked up the prices
on everyday buys.
They rattled our markets,
they rattled our town,
till factories shuttered
and wages fell down.
He picked fights with allies
who’d long stood beside,
where many have family
and kin they still pride.
He snarled at our partners,
he fractured our trust,
turning teamwork to tantrums
and friendship to dust.
Then visas got tangled
in red-tape and fear,
with five years of socials
to sift and to smear.
Tourism suffered,
farms lost their hand,
students and nurses
were stalled at the land.
From boardwalks and diners
to bright concert lights,
the jobs slowly vanished
like stars in bad nights.
It hammered our teachers,
our clinics, our art,
the everyday engines
that once drove our heart.
Yet one line of business
kept growing in size—
more ICE, more informers,
more watchful cold eyes.
Bounty-hunt biceps
and cages and gates,
more boots and more badges,
less hope in our states.
But we, older watchers,
recall something great—
when “democracy”
didn’t mean “police state.”
When laws still had limits,
and rights had a space,
and neighbors felt welcome
in our common place.
So we talk to our children,
we share what we know,
we lift up the voices
that truthfully show
How policies hurt us,
how cruelty spreads—
and how we can choose
better paths instead.
With comments and resharing,
with facts we relate,
we’ll guard the America
that once felt less late.
For a freer tomorrow
is still ours to make—
when we stand up together
for a non–police state. ✨🇺🇸

If we do it right, this too shall pass. Excellent discussion.
