This is really bad. There has long been censorship in this country, but this is an escalation that needs to be seen for the reduction of first amendment rights that it is.

Wrote a little op-ed that was published in the print version of the @pikespeakbulletin.bsky.social this week. The Christian nationalist agenda to legislate their faith as the law of the land is sinful and anti-Christ.

🚨 This is a coup.

A small group of billionaires is taking control of our democracy—silencing voices, dismantling institutions, stealing data, and putting lives at risk. We must resist.

Don’t normalize this. Take action. Speak truth.
