When I was young there was a meme -- of course we didn't call it that -- of an old man wearing several sweaters sitting on a park bench mumbling about the government. I've come to realize this is me now.

How did America become so spectacularly wall-to-wall rotten? I hope someday I can grow to laugh at all this but I'm currently stuck in that awkward phase of giving a shit.

Keep writing, Caitlin. Every day. Every word.

I disagree that the corporate media shut up when they realized that a journalist was going to be charged under the Espionage Act. They shut up after their smear campaign because it worked, and anything else they said about Julian Assange eventually would bring about more sympathy for him than harm. They're using blackout now - that's all it is - and they haven't connected the dots with their position as journalists because they aren't journalists. They aren't remorseful.
