As a lifelong American citizen, I'm legitimately concerned for the future of our country and all its residents.

The rate at which constitutional protections are being undermined, attacked, and rule of law is being thrown to the wayside is crushing and astounding. For the first time in my life, it appears that there are no longer any protections in place to help prevent an authoritarian regime from fully taking over our government, and it feels surreal to be living through this in real-time.
