Liberty Politics
An orator on the Pnyx speaks to Athenian citizens at dawn, the Parthenon lit gold below a constellation joined by fine gold lines.

A republic needs citizens.
Not spectators.

Athens met on a hill. Its citizens argued in the agora. Liberty has always started with a few people in one place.

Liberty has enemies. They are organized. Now so are we.
