In the summer of 2011, I was utterly spent—physically, mentally, creatively—after hauling my film END:CIV across North America. When I returned to Vancouver, I had no place to live, so I did what many DIY filmmakers do: I moved into my van. Then came an invitation that changed everything: members of the Unist’ot’en Clan asked me to screen my film on #Wetsuweten territory.

So I piled some anarchist friends into my old camper and headed north, not realizing I was about to witness—and document—a legendary fight against pipelines on the #yintah. This is my story...

I'm really disappointed that @protonprivacy CEO, Andy Yen, is a Trump supporter.

Proton has created some of my favorite privacy-protecting apps & services, and I regularly recommend their products to people, but I'm hesitant to send money in their direction now, as I'm not sure what it'll go to support.

Trump has made it clear that he gives zero fucks about the safety of BIPoC people, women, LGBTQIA rights, and trans folx in particular. And every dollar that gets contributed to that fascist dictator is a dollar that might be earmarked for my eradication.

Taken together, the following sources convince me that I'm correct in believing Andy Yen is pro-Trump:

That said, I don't think there's a reason to flee Proton just yet. Let's see if there's a response to this from @protonprivacy.

Also, as pointed out, Proton has built their products and policies to be resistant to shit like bad politicians or CEO that supports them. And while I don't think "neutrality" is a defensible stance when faced with a genocide-happy dictator, I think the risk to the Proton Foundation and Proton's products isn't critical at present.
