The March 26 headlines and articles were overwhelming: “Social Security official who ended program for Maine newborns: ‘I was ticked at Mills'”; “Trump signs sweeping action overhauling US elections, including requiring citizenship proof”; “America’s allies alarmed by officials’ leaked group chat”; “Trump downplays Signal blunder as a ‘glitch’”; “Trump’s crypto empire is set to expand with new stablecoin”; and “We have to STAND TOGETHER (Greenland fighting against a Trump takeover).”
I regularly call my elected officials. I regularly go to the Saturday rallies in Portland. I participate in resistance group meetings. I write letters to the editor. But I am feeling overwhelmed and helpless against the steady, consistent, cruel march of the Trump/Musk/Project 2025 daily events of destruction of our freedoms, our Constitution, our laws and our hard-fought democracy.
Will our voices make a difference?
