My value as a human being is intrinsic, not earned through my work product, artistic talent, athletic prowess, or reproductive capacity.

I sympathize with feeling fear to do your job but I feel strongly the remedy is to quit your job, not to stop doing it, especially when people rely on you to do your job.

Listen to the testimony of Dr. Mary Anne Franks at the March 25 Senate Judiciary hearing on the so-called “Censorship Industrial Complex.” Love how she calls out this gaslighting administration.
🙌🏼 I’m not sure who had the amazing idea to invite this constitutional lawyer to a senate hearing that intended to prove Biden colluded with Meta to censor conservatives, but she took the opportunity to speak truth to power ✊🏼 on the hypocrite 👑 KING OF FREE SPEECH, Donald Trump, himself. 👏🏼 Brava!!
