I'm very worried about our fading Constitutional democracy. Corporations & social media platforms are acting on behalf of the federal government by censoring & punishing citizens for exercising their rights. No one is permitted to violate our rights, but people sheepishly condone it or worse, approve. No one has a right to usurp our bodily autonomy or violate the Bill of Rights. Not employers (drug testing, forcing vaccines), governments, social media platforms or other individuals. Yet I've spent hours debating people who use sophistry to argue that these agencies are above any laws or principles. It's disgusting to learn how many people don't value bodily autonomy, or don't appreciate the centuries-long, enormous struggle for liberty. People like this disgust me even more than those in power--who I expect to be unprincipled.
Agreed, Bella. The hand-in-glove coordination between the government and social media companies on censorship is chilling, especially the way judges are simply whistling past it, pretending they see nothing wrong with what really is nothing less than a conspiracy to circumvent the first amendment in broad daylight.
Very chilling. I was appalled when you were deplatformed from twitter. You were/are one of the few honest, informed & accurate voices I followed. I want you to know how important & appreciated your voice is.

Thank you Bella, I really appreciate that!
