🌿 Verse of the Day

“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.”

— Thomas Jefferson

✨ Significance

Authoritarian regimes throughout history have followed a familiar pattern: they arrest or discredit leaders, public servants, and political figures who dare to speak out. Those who challenge the narrative or seek transparency become targets—not because of wrongdoing, but because of the truths they represent.

This is happening now in the United States of America.

The quote from Thomas Jefferson—“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty”—is not drawn from a religious text, but from the well of secular philosophy that undergirds democratic ideals. It serves as a moral compass for those who believe that liberty and justice are not granted by rulers, but safeguarded by the people.

When elected officials are treated like criminals for performing their duties or expressing constitutionally protected speech, it is not law enforcement—it is political suppression. And in moments like these, resistance is not radical. It is responsible.
