My chosen weapon is the pen, and my chosen adversary is fascism—by which I mean the old disease of authoritarianism in its latest mutations. If there is any cause worth the trouble, it is the simple one of refusing to be governed by bullies.

I am a pamphleteer against tyranny, armed with ink and indignation. I, we, cannot be silent. Silence is the first surrender; the prelude to a deeper stillness.

"But he's a narco terrorist."
"But they're here illegally."
"But he was a criminal."
These are thought stopping cliches; a cult tactic. They need not be consistent. They only need to calm the mind of the follower before an uncomfortable thought can emerge.
