And that's what he said when he was president last time.
This time?
Using the military to put undocumented migrants in concentration camps. Not even trying to hide that fact.
You are correct. If you're a citizen and a cop decides you're one of "them," good luck convincing them your ID is genuine. If you're carrying it on you.
"Papers, please."
I've told my visibly brown partner that he has to have his passport on him at all times because that's where we are, now. I'm hoping it will be enough.
I hope so for both of your sakes because it just takes one racist power tripping cop.
Thanks. I think it was you I saw mentioning moving abroad; I hope that goes well for you and your family, too.
I just don't understand people. My partner's brother (also brown, also first gen) is a Trump-loving cop. I'm hoping we don't have to rely on him for anything but I'm also weirdly grateful that he's my partner's brother because you bet your ass I will make it his business if anything happens to my partner; I still have the tiniest hope that brother would go to bat for him.
Yes, that's me. Got my first job interview tomorrow. At 3:30 am. Apparently the Earth isn't as flat as certain people on the internet would have you believe.
And yeah, there were a surprising number of brown people who voted for Trump, especially men. I don't get it. He hasn't been even a little secretive about what his plans are. They really don't get that they could get caught up in this insane net of Trump's.
Good luck on the job interview!
Thanks! It's not a job I'm dying for, so I'm thinking of it more as practice, but I will take anything if it means we can get over there in January and afford basic things like a home and food.
The only thing I can figure out is they're extremely low-information voters whose thought process was something like "prices high, Biden's fault, Trump not Democrat, vote for him."
Ah yes, the famous gas and grocery price levers in the Oval Office that Biden keeps leaning on.
Yes. Americans being really really fucking stupid is why we're about to go full fascist.
Good luck
Also don't piss off any Karens. They use the police as a weapon.
And every time you have to show your documents to law enforcement, maybe this is the time you don't get them back.
Okay, but if we say bad things about the police then we'll lose the election.
We need to politely ask our Brave Boys In Blue to be more Woke, when they're firing into a crowded subway station at a fare evader. And if that doesn't work, we need to stop being so Woke ourselves. Maybe doming a bystander and clipping another cop in the process of securing a $2.90 train fare is just the price of our freedom.
