Making things clear
Posted on 2025-10-11 (Updated on 2025-10-12)
I feel ridiculous having to write any of this down, but leaving anything up for misinterpretation is dangerous. Each one of these truths should be "self evident", to borrow a phrase, but the current political climate in the United States requires each of us to make clear where we stand. So, this is where I stand.
- Discrimination based on sexuality, gender, or race is abhorrent. Women, trans persons, people of color, queer persons, and everyone else deserve to live free of persecution and government interference into their medical decisions.
- Illegal immigrants have been failed by a system that makes legal immigration impossible for them. These people are not criminals, they are my neighbors and my friends. Fuck ICE, and fuck the militarization push that's supporting them.
- The Trump administration, controlling the other two branches of government, is eviscerating our constitution and steering our country towards oblivion. I can only hope we can stop them before their misguided ideals do irreparable damage.
- The current alt-right push towards authoritarianism in our country flies in the face of the values and ideals that it was founded upon. This country belongs to its people, and we have no kings. No one is above the law.
- Delcaring anti-fascism is terrorism sure sounds like something fascists say. Fascism has no place in our world, let alone in our country.
I am sick and tired of having basic decency and justice abandoned by Trump, and the Republican party. If you're somehow still supporting them, or on the fence, you're either morally bankrupt or living in denial. Either way, you're on the wrong side of history.
I'm doing whatever I can to push back against this. I don't expect this statement to change anything, but at least it will be another voice in opposition.
This is our country, and we won't stand for this.
