Power Plays on the World Stage

I'm angry. And you should be too.

Because in just the last two weeks, the administration has dragged the United States further down a path that should terrify anyone who believes in democracy, the rule of law, or even basic sanity.

First: Venezuela. A dramatic operation carried out with more bravado than transparency, raising serious questions about legal authority, long-term consequences, and who exactly gets to decide when America uses force.

Then: threats to carry out "Venezuela-style operations" in Colombia and even Mexico.

Let that sink in.

And now: the White House floated the idea of using the U.S. military to take Greenland — a sovereign territory connected to a NATO ally.

This is an imperial fantasy.

It is the language of strongmen. It is the politics of domination. And it is exactly how democracies start to crumble.

You don't defend freedom by threatening allies. You don't promote stability by turning the U.S. military into a political prop. And you don't protect the Constitution by letting any president treat the world like their personal real estate board.

What we are watching is the normalization of something dangerous: the idea that American power belongs to one man, not the law. That force is a shortcut. That accountability is optional.

I refuse to accept that.

And I refuse to be quiet while this country is dragged toward a future built on coercion instead of consent.

But speaking out isn't enough. Pushing back takes organized people, real resources, and campaigns strong enough to force accountability into rooms where it's being deliberately shut out. So I'm asking you, directly, to help us do that. Chip in $9 today if you believe America should be a democracy, not a threat.

History doesn't just record what leaders do. It records what the rest of us tolerated.

I'm not tolerating this. And I hope you won't either.
