Remember: protest march this morning. We atheists have been declared traitors by this administration, so you better get out there and show your commitment.
I was thinking about making a sign that read, I Am Antifa. But then I got cold feet. Think about that for a minute. We supposedly have the right to free speech in this country, but here I am, a citizen and veteran, and I’m self-censoring myself out of fear of being harassed and possibly arrested by Trump’s private police force. Of course, I’m an anti-fascist. I suspect everyone reading this is too. This is how political repression begins, with baby steps. What’s the next thing to worry about saying in public? That I’m a Democrat? It could happen.
I’m getting ready to go to my local event. Details redacted, of course.
And yeah, I feel that, @2. Meanwhile, there are apparently executive orders to treat me like a criminal because I was born with a mental disability. (And frankly, I think autism’s only a disability because society actively resists accommodation. )

My sign says “My Daddy was an Anti-Fascist in the Pacific during WWII and now I am one too.

Trump and Miller have already tried branding Democrats in general as terrorists. Since I am finally able to walk some distance without a cane, I’ll be marching an a few hours today.
Not an atheist but I’ll be there. No Kings!
