Farmers & Bakers with a mission: educate and empower people with the knowledge they are not alone in this fight against fascism. Everything we create serves one purpose—amplifying and uniting democratic voices where the powerful want us silent and divided.
Your voice matters, and it's never been more important to speak up. Use every opportunity to understand, learn, and teach. You don't need to be an expert, you just need to be honest.

Being outraged is only the first step. Speak to others about American values in our fight toward democracy.
Talk to anyone you know that supports the regime and work toward understanding. Many people truly don't understand the full extent of what's happening.
Every conversation is hope.

Antifa actions consistently oppose fascisism—yet we're told they ARE fascists. The evidence contradicts the comparison. Understanding what fascism means shows why the accusation misses the mark.

Many political persuasions commit political violence, but studies show that right-wing violence is more prevalent in cases resulting in death. What we believe after scrolling social media or watching endless news channels, and what the real-world data shows, are often not aligned.

Contradictions abound and it's not an accident. Keep your head up, and stay safe.

A 2024 study finds that Republicans are 2.5 times more likely to believe that political violence is acceptable. Read it for yourself.

Violence creates room for fear, and fear breeds violence. Danger is a fact of life, but fear—fear is learned, taught, wielded.

How would conservative news cover a man like Jesus today? Protesting the WTO, attacking Wall Street bankers, spreading socialist ideals of equality. DOUBLETHINK.

"The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me. The sunlight that brought light and healing to you, has brought stripes and death to me. This Fourth July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn."-F. Douglass

The Constitution isn't self-enforcing—we must defend it. Our choice isn't between resistance and safety—resistance IS our path to safety.

The heroes we celebrate today were the troublemakers of yesterday—sanitized and rebranded. Civil rights are won not by following rules, but by breaking them. Not by standing on the sidelines, but by marching on the front lines. Their footsteps echo with ours today—unbroken.

Are you a patriot or a nationalist?
A Constitutionalist or a tribalist?
Do you fight for freedom for all,

Universities defunded—
expelled for not bowing.
Law firms extorted
into compliance, kowtowing.
Judges damned
for upholding law—
justice politicized,
democracy monetized.
Enforcement weaponized—
our National Guard
guards tyranny,
not liberty.
Rise up from silence.
Don't look away.

DOUGH 4: What if humanity moved beyond rigid notions of right and wrong, focusing instead on the complex web of actions, circumstances, and consequences?
This shift would reveal a simple yet profound truth: while we are shaped by what came before us, we retain the power to influence what we become.

The most important resistance against tyranny is to maintain your humanity. Invite people to dinner, listen intently, and speak openly. Don't fear heated debate—fear avoiding it.

We cast ourselves in roles within our own stories, though from childhood, we learn to minimize our heroics. Our greatest challenge isn't finding the right circumstances—it's recognizing we already stand at the center of our heroes journey, where acts of courage too often remain subdued.

A World War II poster from 1941 shows Bigotry trying to dismantle the four pillars of democracy from within: Liberty, Unity, Justice, and most importantly, Equality. Our grandparents sacrificed everything to defend these pillars. How do we act today?

This is a dark time and a dark place, yet daily we see the brightness of our citizens. We see light when our neighbor stands for justice. We see light when an old friend questions long-held beliefs. We see light when we look in our mirror and see a face of resolve against the mask of tyranny.
