🦅  If the Founders  dropped their 27 grievances today, it’d probably be labeled as “too political.” Don't get me wrong—the Founders were deeply flawed, and the Declaration of Independence was written with explicitly racist language. Even so, for the world's oldest constitution, many of the grievances they identified have striking similarities to the abuses of power we see today.

🤔 💭 Here are some of the things the Founders would have disagreed with… 

🏠 The deployment of National Guard troops to Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles, even when elected officials objected. The Founders argued there should not be “Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.” (Grievance 12)

💸 Using emergency powers to impose sweeping tariffs on imported goods. The Founders argued the government shouldn’t impose “...taxes on us without our consent” (Grievance 17 & 18)

🚧 Selling off federally protected land to oil companies and incentivizing the exploitation of clean water sources for AI Data Centers. The Founders fought against those who “...plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people” (Grievance 25)

🗳️ Pressuring elected officials to overturn election results like in the 2020 election. The Founders fought against those who “..refuse for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise...” (Grievance 7)
