That's why I do it. The only way we'll keep our First Amendment right of Free Speech is if we're not afraid to use it to sow Truth. Democracy cannot survive without Truth - which is why all Fascists are Post-Truth. Lies are detrimental if believed by masses, but truth is equally powerful when known.

This young fella showed up about 10 days ago. Today’s the first time I’ve been able to get close enough to give him pats. Extremely skittish. Suspect abuse. Folks dump unwanted pets around here a lot, especially this time of year. He came to the right place. He’s loved.
