Stand against Trump tyranny
To the Editor:
On June 14, Indivisible Common Ground WNC and other progressive groups mobilized against the excesses of the Trump regime for “No Kings.” Since then, things have gotten worse. Free speech is being muzzled and the government is targeting immigrant families; profiling, arresting and detaining people without warrants, threatening to overtake elections and gutting health care and environmental protections.
They are rigging maps to silence voters, ignoring mass shootings, and driving up the cost of living while handing out massive tax breaks to billionaires.
President Trump is eroding checks and balances by exercising executive power every way he can. We will not stand idly by as this happens. He may think his rule is absolute, but in America, we don’t do “kings.” Since the inauguration, the Trump administration has operated as if it had a mandate — they don’t, and never did. A functioning democracy must hear its people. Truth doesn’t fear protest; it grows from it.
We stand together against the abuses of power, cruelty and corruption. On Saturday, Oct. 18, we will gather again to remind President Trump that America has No Kings!
If you're outraged by abductions, disappearances, the gutting of essential services, and the assault on free speech, this is your moment.
