🇺🇸True patriots choose democracy over dictatorship and country over party.
📣 Silence is complicity. When we remain silent, we allow hate and division to thrive.
🇺🇸To those who stand against authoritarianism and hate, who fight for equality, and who champion peaceful protest and civil discourse: You are the true patriots. You inspire us all.

🧵1/ 🇺🇸 True patriots choose #democracy over authoritarianism. Country over party. #Humanity over hate.
Months ago, I spoke out about Project 2025, because I love my country. As a 🇩🇴🇺🇸First-Generation Adult Child of #Immigrants, I consider it my civic duty to speak truth—even when it was dismissed.
🎯That dismissal reminded me of the power of propaganda and the tragedy of denial:
• We all witnessed January 6th.
• We heard, “All I need is 11,000 votes.”
Exactly 60 years ago today the Voting Rights Act became law, thanks to Black liberation struggle via Diane Nash, Bayard Rustin, Ralph Abernathy, Coretta Scott King, Amelia Boynton, John Lewis, James Lawson, James Bevel, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, et al.

📣Our humanity is not negotiable.
🇺🇸🇩🇴 I want to share a quote I reflect on daily. It’s from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and it feels more urgent than ever:
🗣️ “…and we must realize that the time is always right to do right.”
—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “The Other America,” Stanford University, April 14, 1967
🚨Apathy is a luxury we cannot afford.
