Whatever happened to freedom of religion!!??!?!?! Why is christianity being shoved down our throats when no other religion is? Why are books disappearing from shelves and being locked away? Why are teachers legally required not to call students by their preferred names and pronouns? Why do women not have autonomy over their own bodies anymore? Why are our friends being forcefully removed and sent away and killed because of the color of their skin? Why am I posing it as a question? We know why. The government is failing us. The laws put in place to protect our rights are slipping or being torn off. I'm so angry I want to scream, I want to hurt something, I want to tear down a building, I want to cry. Silence wouldn't be our salvation. We need to kick and yell when our rights disappear. We need to read banned books and flick our bad finger in the face of injustice. We need to research all of the wrongs being done to us like a dragon hoarding its anger for the time to set a city on fire. We, yes we, can't let this keep happening. Obedience will only result in us being underpaid, underfed slaves for trillionaires and orange men. If it sounds like a dystopian fiction, it's because we are all ready in one.
