As our democracy rapidly spirals toward a dictatorship with a tech bro and a pants-shitting adulterer in power, my frustration – along with tens of millions of others – continues to grow.
The fact that the NSA is today scrubbing NSA websites and internal sites of a list of forbidden words or shuttering websites containing those words entirely, should be cause for alarm. I mean, all of the previous shit going down is plenty of cause for alarm but having a list of forbidden words at any level of government is absolute bullshit.
To say that this country is toast is giving up. To say that it is being burned to the ground in the name of religion and profit and "conservative values" makes my blood boil. We are all humans. We all have rights. People – regardless of their gender, gender identity, sexuality, or pronouns have the right of self-expression. We are a diverse nation where white, male privilege has existed for far too long while diminishing the rights of people who are while males. This is a country built on the fact that change can happen for the better. Don't back down. Don't bend your knee. Don't roll over. Don't turn on your fellow human in the name of self-preservation. This will be an extremely trying year or more. When the censorship police win, everyone loses.
