    Fine Is The Enemy Of Freedom

    Everything is just fine patriotic American skeletons waving American flags in denial of dictatorship

    Have you experienced this?

    You hear a piece of news, and it shocks you.

    Maybe it’s word that a university student you know has been arrested by ICE and sent off to a secret prison camp.

    Maybe it’s Donald Trump declaring that he has asked El Salvador’s bitcoin dictator, Nayib Bukele, to open up 5 new concentration camps, each one capable of holding tens of thousands of prisoners, to confine American citizens as political prisoners.

    You hear this news, and then you go outside, into the world, down the street, and you see people just going about their daily business, like everything is just fine, as if no horror is taking place at all.

    Their indifference, somehow, makes the atrocity even more terrifying.

    You are not alone.

    I’m feeling it too.

    This is why protest is essential.

    When we protest, we stand out in public and we declare that no, things are not just fine.

    When we protest, we break the illusion. We violate the silence.

    America is not okay.
