It's a difficult question to ask, and even more difficult to answer. I'm an old white woman, and I'm not afraid. But, for me, being brave is a bit easier. After all, they're not coming after me, at least not yet. And, I've lived a full life. I worry for others, who are more vulnerable.

I've decided the least I can do is stand up for the innocent people being targeted. That's why I'm on sites like Bluesky as myself. I'd be very easy to find, if they wanted to round-up this old white girl and ship her off some place for speaking her mind about what damn Fascist Pigs they are.

Stay safe out there. I hope we can beat these fascist back with our vote before they take that away, too.
