Speech is No Longer Free

In the last few days, I have lost the motivation to blog as free speech is under attack. For over 20 years, I have been writing whatever the fuck I like without the fear of being censored from the government or being fired from my job.

In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Americans are getting fired from their jobs for voicing their opinions. Jimmy Kimmel lost his show. Media organizations are being sued for criticizing the president. The current administration officials are using government power to crack down free speech.

What makes America one of the greatest countries in the world is our freedom of speech. Democracy will die without the ability to speak out in opposition. America is heading toward authoritarianism. The freedoms we all love and treasure will be gone.

Without a doubt, I am stressed the fuck out about our freedom of speech, our democracy, and the future of America. How long can I still write freely like this? America is nothing without free speech. George Washington once said, “If the freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” We need to stand up and defend our freedom of speech.
