America, land of the free...once upon a time: please add where our rights have been unjustly limited or denied

The Patriot Act permanently altered our nation, out of reactive fear, from its path of worldwide liberty to a fork in the road that led to a steady march toward totalitarianism.

To name a few of my un-favorite things:
-Established as city or state policy the racial profiling of Blacks, as in NYC, and its widely accepted covert policy of many states and general law enforcement mentality.
-The Muslim Ban and the phrase "Islamic extremist or terrorists"
-ICE raids as practice for mass incarcerations for political opponents and their actions as the new Gestapo limiting our Bill of Rights protections, demanding "our papers" when traveling
-Confiscation of assets kept by the state just by accusation even if proven innocent, something that Sessions approves of.
-NSA monitoring all calls and social media
-The Border Patrol able to roam freely and operate on private property without permission from the owner
-DUI roadblocks
-Religious liberty to deny, from conscience, participation in or association with anything that violates a person's faith
-Any open expression of worship

A short list of growing abuses. There are many more. Of course, some of these measures help to increase our safety--but at what cost to our freedom? We really need to get our priorities straight.
