“I'm not political.” Until they come for you.

Your job is still paying you. Your card hasn't been blocked yet. Flights are still going somewhere. Your favorite bar still serves a cocktail whose name the bartender pronounces more confidently than you do. So life is manageable. Someone got locked up? Well, we need to know the full story. Something got banned? I didn't use it anyway. Another news outlet shut down? I don't read the news, it's all negativity.
