We truly love our free speech, and it may not appear like it, but we do truly love our fellow Americans. And if the USG angrily lays it mitts on another American, there will be fucking Hell to pay for it. We are close. And we are strong. We are Americans first!

Be safe. Check on your elderly or invalid neighbors. Love the hell out of your loved ones.

And lastly, if we lose the internet, I love every single one of you.
