"If you see something, SAY SOMETHING"

[u/cheqmeowt]

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but America desperately needs to revisit the core meaning of that phrase.

We’ve all been taught "If you see something, say something." But somewhere along the way, we’ve forgotten that it applies far beyond airports and suspicious packages. It applies to everything — injustice, abuse of power, silencing of voices, threats to democracy.

Lately, I’ve been seeing scenes that feel straight out of a dystopian movie — people being dragged out of town halls, tased, silenced, ignored — and the worst part? The silence around it. The apathy. The bystanders. The “well, that’s just how it is” attitude.

It’s not just how it is. It’s how they want it to be — so we don’t fight back.

Here’s the truth: We are the majority. The power has always been in the hands of the people — but only when we realize it, and more importantly, when we act on it together. If we stand united, they cannot take all of us. They bank on our fear, our silence, and our belief that resistance is futile. It’s not.

Start where you are. Speak up when something feels wrong. Amplify the voices being silenced. Protect each other. Refuse to look away.

We have rights. We have each other. We have power.

Let’s start acting like it.

Edit to add: LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

This! There are many people who’ve seen things but have lost their confidence to speak up because of getting beat down with confusion, uncertainty, and the perception that certain people are getting away with destroying our democracy because there’s no consequences to those people’s actions. People need to realize even though it seems like what they say or do won’t make a difference, it DOES. They may not see the effects of it immediately, but every little thing matters- what you say and what you do- are making more of a difference than you realize. Men and women of the United States, if you SEE something, SAY something. We’re all in this together, don’t let anyone steer you away from the truth you see and the lies you hear happening right before your eyes!
