For me the point I want to make is that none of us are safe. We need to protect due process for everyone. Yes there are a subset of people that don't care about the gov. deporting non citizens. If they see it's happening to citizens, maybe they will start to care, maybe they will see how wrong it is to violate the rights of immigrants. I dunno. Like how do you reach these people to show them how wrong it all is?
Every projection is a confession. Gestures vaguely at ice gestapo, deportations of people to countries that aren't their origin, deportations to prisons outside the US, and the constitution allowing slavery as punishment of a crime.
Remember when the Democrats cock blocked AOC from the oversight committee in favor of a 75 year old with esophageal cancer, that ended up dying anyway? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Rep Paul Tonko is one of the NY reps that voted no to impeach. I work 2 blocks from his office and plan to spend my lunch hour every day demonstrating in front of his Albany office. I already called his office to bitch. I've got printed letters that say, "Congratulations, you're a fascist collaborator." Going to be stuffing those in envelopes with glitter and putting one in the mail every single day. Give me your best for my protest signs.
For those not in the know, covenant house is a homeless shelter for kids based in NYC. They house homeless children up to age 21. I emancipated myself when I was 16 and started college. Stupid me didn't realize that the dorms closed during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other holidays. Going back home for the holidays was out of the question because my mother let my rapist back into the house to live with her, (the reason why I emancipated myself in the first place.) I spent every holiday my freshman year of college at covenant house. I slept on a mat in a room with a bunch of other kids, but it was better than being on the streets and I didn't go hungry. I learned my lesson after that year and rented a room sophomore-senior instead of deciding to live in dorm housing. For anyone that knows any homeless children that need help, they have a crisis line called the 9 line. 1-800-999-9999.
Canada, please boycott, ridicule, and fuck the USA over harder. As a NYer I apologize for the absolute vile creature our population elected into office. We deserve consequences. Invest in the military and secure your borders. Once this fascist is done with his campaign of terror on his own citizens, expect him to attempt and invasion. Stay strong. Many of us are doing all we can to resist. Please pray for us.
Gillibrand turned into an absolute corporate shill.
