How long until DU is shut down?

[Takket]

34. i don't know, but i am scared

i have been angry, outraged, saddened for others on a nearly daily basis.

i have a bluesky account. i don't use my real name, but i do have a picture of myself. i took that picture down today and went with something generic. i was afraid of someone using an image search to possibly find my true identity.

This Kimmel move in particular has me really scared. for my job, for my well being. Thought crimes have come to america, and the government is using the full force of its power to ruin people. my wife is disabled. if i lose my job, it would be a financial disaster.

I no longer feel completely safe expressing myself. At least on DU my username can't be tracked to me, so i at least feel SORT of safe posting here?. But i have to temper my feelings with the thought of "what if some MAGAt doesn't like what i say, and reports my words to the government, who in turn threaten my employer with sanctions if they don't fire me?"

I certainly wouldn't express my opinions in person to anyone, or attach them to my real name or picture anymore.
