Listen. My son's birth certificate has an extended stay motel as his address. I understand poverty. It is NOT worse than what's coming.

Yes, absolutely. But what rent can I pay when I'm suddenly deported because my parents were (legal) immigrants? When I'm being forced to give birth? When I'm fired and accused of being a DEI hire? When my children are hunted? I am willing to sacrifice for this cause.

Honestly? No. This isn't something that you go "if it's convenient", the entire concept of freedom is at stake here. I'm biased as a woman of color in a non traditional marriage, but this is absolutely mandatory. I will lose a day's wages, and it may impact my ability to pay my bills. But are you not seeing the future of this administration if people stand by and accept it?

If people aren't willing to give up 1 hour of their corporate slavery to stop facism, then we are already doomed.

That's more than my yearly salary though so... 🤷🏽‍♀️ No, but that's absolutely horrendous what he went through.

Emojis are fantastic (😁 vs 😒)

Hey look, it's the man we are afraid of!

Still from other men though, yes?

I sometimes wish I were petty enough to legally change my last name to be she-her (i don't think that slashes are allowed?l

Honestly though, you only need 6 months of necessities (housing, sustenance, and things needed to find another job or travel to supportive friends or family.)

I live in the US currently and unfortunately filter out most of it for the same reason too. I'm already outraged and terrified etc, might as well save some coping skills for other things.

Their very public decision to keep DEI in addition to a long history of not exploiting their employees has led me to purchase a membership this morning. I'm okay with financually rewarding reasonable behavior.
