though it de-legitimizes your speech, it censors your access to scientific data, it vows to plow pipelines through indigenous graveyards, it declares racist immigrant bans, it mocks you with its heedless power and lack of shame,
it invokes secret bans, threatens net neutrality, cuts off your healthcare, and ruins your life-
