The DA is Watching

"America, the most powerful country in the world, has just elected a fascist... When are we going to have the moral courage to speak in terms other than economy all the time, and to realize what is happening?"

I'm sure when I can no longer get my passport's gender marker changed with a simple letter from a physician or have a valid marriage or get an abortion, this umbrella will definitely save me. Thank God, I can finally sleep at night again.

How do I validate my own existence as well as their insistence that I should die and be erased from history?
