Good post no matter what side of the political spectrum we favor. Free speech and discussion are always great but the possibilities are so restricted right now. The harms are evident. Yes maintaining sanity and common sense in the face of this are difficult. But for those of us who can manage it nothing is more important.

You're welcome! I think many of the other types of change are subtle and complex and hard to quantify, which makes them harder to see. Thanks for commenting!
