Refuse To Be Silenced

We're under a new regime in America. One where you aren't allowed to speak your mind lest you be intimidated and threatened with treason charges. The media aren't allowed to report on the news without being backed into a corner by the administration. Agencies are being told that they're not allowed to give info to the public.

We're all being placed under gag orders and none of us should take it. Remember, this is the age of INFORMATION. The news isn't the news anymore. We can transfer information from one place to another in an instant between each other. We can be our own reporters. That's how the police have been getting exposed. By the people who know what's right and won't stand for injustice.

You are so much more important than the so called leaders will tell you. This is our nation. We're in charge and if we don't like something it's our duty to change it. It's our right to change it. Now, the Trump administration is trying to take away our rights from any and all angles because they are scared. They're scared of what could happen when a nation becomes empowered and realizes that their voices and lives matter.

The United States is not a dictatorship despite Trump's efforts to turn it into one. I will not stand for being pushed around and told to keep my mouth shut and just stand for his dirty tricks. He can dress up his oppressive tactics all he wants. I see right through it and I hope you all do as well. He's a fascist in every sense of the word. He and every single one of his stooges. From Pence to Bannon, they all want you to shut up and take it. Don't. Don't shut up. Don't stop talking about them, don't stop making noise. Don't give up.

I know it's scary. We're all afraid of what's coming. But fear is motivation, not a handicap. Use your fear to keep going. Keep fighting no matter what. We only lose when we stop fighting. This is about all of us. It's because we stopped fighting that Trump is even in the position that he is.

We're in a time when it's important that no matter what, we not only know where we stand but we stand for something. I hope you stand for truth and fairness. I hope you stand for everyone having the right to live. I hope you stand for the right to make your own choices. I hope you stand for the right to have autonomy over your own body. Above all, I hope you choose to make a stand at all.

Give Up Those White Sticks and Handle Stress A Different Way

I'm someone who is VERY against the use and distribution of cigarettes. I don't see the appeal, I think they're disgusting and the health risks are not worth the small window of stress relief that they provide. Seriously. Get a new coping mechanism. I know you've heard it all before. That cigarettes cause cancer and that they contain literal poison. While some things that people say to deter you from using them are quite frankly baseless scare speech, some of it is truthful and in the grand scheme of things even two facts should be enough to keep you away from these small sticks of terror. Just keep in mind that I'm not saying these things to judge anyone with an addiction. There are many people in my family who are smokers and I hate it dearly which is why I'm trying to save other people's family members. I'm trying to save you the stress of watching your loved one's struggle to deal with their stress. My first point is the cancer claim. All in

It's Easy To Disregard It When It's Not Your Problem

Now, I've talked about Cultural Appropriation and I've talked about the problem with the phrase "I'm colorblind". Well now you're getting a two for one special and it's not something I enjoy gifting to you but it's important so we have to deal with it. There's a certain kind of person who partakes in these acts. They think they're innocent, they say that they're not racist and that they would never do anything to hurt anyone. I don't doubt that they aren't doing it on purpose but they are doing it. It's a casual kind of racism. It's something that went unnoticed for a long time until recently and it needs to be called out and brought to people's attention. It's disregarding things that are racist because it's not your problem. It's easy to see things in a black and white way (no pun intended) when it's not your issue and you don't have to deal with it.

Wrestling Power Couple or Abusive Cycle?

I've been a fan of Paige (real name Saraya Jade Bevis) since she debuted on the main roster of WWE in 2014. She's an amazing female wrestler and someone that could be Hall of Fame material. That is, if she can make it back to the ring at this point. She's been in a relationship with Alberto El Patron (real name Jose Rodriguez, formerly Alberto Del Rio when he was in WWE as well) for a few years now and as someone who's a big fan or at least I used to be, things have not been going well for her. She's been dealing with a recurring neck injury, she's been suspended two times, and now it's come out that everything isn't exactly roses for her and Alberto. In fact not even close. Recently some footage as well as audio has come out that shows them arguing in an airport with her telling him to, "Get out of my life" after she threw a drink in his face. Then the police were called. She's since come out and claimed full responsibility for the inc
