The day workers who wait near Home Depot in the mornings are visibly fewer in greater Boston. But, it's many hypocritical MAGAs who hire them…

Dear Beloved Grandparents,

We’ve lived through wars, recessions, civil rights marches, and moments that tested the soul of our nation. Today, we face another such moment — one that demands our wisdom, our courage, and our voices.

🚨 Our military is being used against American citizens on American soil.

Let that sink in. Peaceful protestors — everyday Americans — are being met with force, intimidation, and surveillance. These are not isolated incidents. This is by intentional design.

🔍 Reports confirm that Stephen Miller, top Trump advisor, has called for a recent increase in ICE raids, targeting communities with heavy minority populations. These actions are tearing apart families and leaving children behind in fear. “Collateral damage” is treated like an acceptable consequence.

And under Donald Trump’s leadership, the use of federal agents and military force against peaceful protests has blurred the line between public safety and authoritarian control.

🕊️ But we are not powerless. In fact, we are essential.

As grandparents, elders, and lifelong patriots — we must be the steady hands that guide our families through this storm. Our grandchildren are watching. Let us teach them what real love of country looks like.

Here’s how to stand tall:

✅ Contact your state and federal representatives — tell them we oppose military force against protestors and the inhumane ICE raids.

✅ Support independent media — they are documenting what others won’t.

✅ Talk to your grandchildren and neighbors — share the truth, especially with those misled by propaganda.

✅ Peacefully protest, write, speak out — even from our porches and living rooms.

🗣️ This is our moment for GOOD TROUBLE.

We marched for civil rights. We stood up for women’s rights. We spoke out during Vietnam. Now, we stand for democracy.

🇺🇸 Let us rise once more — not with fear, but with fierce love for our country and the people in it.

In Solidarity,

Clarissa Sr, an American Grandma

✍️ Please share this with fellow elders, caregivers, and families of conscience. Let our voices be heard while we still can.

Unfortunately, the only avenue is impeachment and conviction. It’s a tough row to hoe, with Rethugs in control.
