"Why We Must Rise: The Truth They Hope You’ll Stay Quiet About"

Let’s cut through the noise and get real for a second. This isn’t about politics, popularity, or playing it safe. This is about truth, rights, and dignity—ours. We’re living in a world where corruption walks freely in a three-piece suit, and injustice is handed to us like it's part of the daily news cycle—because it is. But guess what? Silence isn’t golden anymore—it’s deadly. We’ve watched too many lies slip through the cracks of justice. We’ve watched the powerful dance while the poor drown. We’ve witnessed the system protect the wolves while the sheep are slaughtered. So tell me—how much longer are we going to sit and let this happen? Because enough is enough. We Protest Because We See What They Hope You’ll Ignore They bank on our silence. They hope you’re too tired, too scared, too distracted to care. They feed you lies in shiny headlines and hide their dirt behind long-winded legal jargon. But some of us? We read between the lines. We listen when the world groans. We speak up for the kids sleeping on floors, for the mothers being silenced, for the veterans discarded like broken tools, for the sick denied care, and the poor criminalized for surviving. We protest because we have a pulse. Because our conscience is louder than their money. And here’s the thing: when you refuse to stand, you’re basically kneeling to their corruption. Sarcastic Reality Check for the Blindly Loyal: “But he said he loves America!” Oh really? Was that before or after he tried to sell it piece by piece? 🇺🇸💸 “He's a man of God!”—Nah, sweetheart. Even the devil quotes Scripture. 🥴 “He’s for the people!” Yeah… rich people. If you’re not golfing with him at Mar-a-Lago, you’re not the people he’s fighting for. “He tells it like it is.” Correction: He tells it how his ego wishes it was. The Power of a Real Protest We protest because no change ever came from comfort. Marches paved the way for civil rights. Voices shattered glass ceilings. Movements dismantled chains. Protest is not chaos. Protest is not hate. Protest is love in action—a love so bold it refuses to let injustice breathe. So whether you’re out there holding a sign, writing online like I do, or praying hard behind closed doors—you are part of the resistance. Keep raising your voice. Keep showing up. Keep shaking the table until they can’t ignore the noise. Because history doesn’t remember the ones who stayed silent. It remembers the ones who stood up when it mattered most. © 2025 Santiago D.C.
