Writing about this era of US fascism - we all need to be doing it for future generations [View all]

It feels important to make our own notes/stories for future generations. I don't mean only the writers. All of us need to be our own reporters/scribes to leave those stories for your family's future generations.

I am not much of a writer or a person that journals, yet I do write short stories about events in my life.
I am collecting my stories on a couple of flash drives to be left with my will for anyone to read...future generations.

I want my lineage to know from me the horrors of the times I lived in, in the USA.
