Welcome to the United States of Surveillance

Land of the Free — As Long As You Keep Quiet.

Unmarked cars. Plainclothes agents. People grabbed off the street, mid-text.
A Tufts grad student disappears into a government vehicle. A Columbia student’s wife begs for answers: “Can you tell me who you are?”“We don’t give our name.”

Sound like Moscow? Pyongyang? Maybe East Berlin in 1962?

Nope. This is America in 2025.

This week’s New York Times story reads like a dystopian novel — except it's real.
ICE raids with brownshirt-style flair. Detainments without due process. Judges ignored. Immigrants and legal residents — even U.S. citizens — rounded up and deported or vanished into legal limbo.

Their crime? Writing an op-ed. Having a student visa. Having the wrong name, or the wrong accent, or the wrong look at the wrong time.

We’ve crossed a line — not in pencil, but in permanent ink.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is bragging about canceling hundreds of legal statuses and teasing “more to come.”
A “citizen-run” app rewards people for reporting on their undocumented neighbors.
And because this brave new world needs its own flavor of Orwellian absurdity, some of those being denounced — and detained — are Jewish professors being accused of antisemitism… by anonymous social media mobs.

This is not law and order. This is state-sponsored paranoia with a side of fascism.

The Constitution? Apparently too “woke” for this regime.
Free speech? Now a red flag.
Due process? Optional.
Dissent? Dangerous.

It’s 2025, and America is being hollowed out from the inside by the very people sworn to defend it.
We’ve traded liberty for fear, freedom for surveillance, and leadership for authoritarian cosplay.

And the most chilling part?
It’s working.

People are hiding. Staying silent. Avoiding protests. Avoiding each other.
Because when the deli guy could be a plainclothes agent, and your kid’s teacher could be a government informant, it’s safer not to speak at all.

But silence is complicity.

We must call this what it is: a creeping police state.
I will not mince words. I will not “both-sides” this. And I will not stand by while America slides into the shadows of the regimes we once fought.

As a candidate for Congress — as an American — I will fight to restore the rule of law, the dignity of due process, and the sacred rights enshrined in 1776.
Because if we lose them now, we may never get them back.

If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.

And if you're paying attention, you know damn well it’s time to fight back.
