BAD NEWS
BEFORE YOU READ THIS, KEEP THIS IN YOUR HEAD THE WHOLE TIME:
THEY ARE DRAGGING PEOPLE OFF THE STREETS, IN MASKS WITHOUT IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES. THAT IS WHERE WE ARE. 1,200 PEOPLE ARE MISSING FROM ALLIGATOR AUSCHWITZ. NO PAPERWORK, NO PAPER TRAIL, JUST GONE.
I find myself wildly upset, even with ‘my side’ now.
I have not been posting on short form for a couple of weeks, & I am not gonna lie, it’s hard. FOMO is real. I often pick up to record & have to force myself to set my phone down & not dive right back into the shit.
That being said, I am in the comments.
I say all that to say I am watching people online wear little hands to mock the ice agent 6 inches away in their face, to be funny. Dancing at them, playing music at them, while I understand & even preach that every act of resistance is still an act of resistance no matter the size… I am a hypocrite, an angry one.
These people will act upset that you held a tiny hand in their face during their job, paying them $48 an hour AFTER their $50k sign-on bonus. You think they give a fuck that you sang FDT in their face & wave plastic hands at them? They are looking at you like a hamster on a wheel. Docile, a dog barking aggressively behind a fence, only to know the gate is open & it’s all bark.
Yesterday, Trump said, “I thought I would be met with fury on the left, but they’re sort of giving up.”...”I really thought that we were gonna have to sort of fight it through. There’s been no fight.” Click that if you don’t believe me, I made it a link.
A FEW TRUTHS TO BE MAD AT ME ABOUT:
1) This will not just ‘go away’ if we dance, joke, & sing at them. They are banking on that.
2) It will not be ‘just three more years of this.’ He is not following the rules now. You think he’s gonna hand shit over?
3) The America you know is gone; the sooner you mourn it, the sooner we can build.
4) You deserve to be angry, but be smart; Paranoia keeps you safe.
5) Put your oxygen mask on first; you cannot help someone else who is drowning if you are also drowning.
6) Leaving the country doesn’t mean you stop the fight; you need to be advantageous with your choices, and that is one of them on the table. (Hot take: I personally believe they are going to take away your ability to leave in the next 2-6 months)
7) You are not alone; everyone is waiting for someone to act & be a domino. Everyone is scared & that’s okay. This is uncharted territory. Be afraid, but be smart.
8) It is going to get worse, a lot worse.
Is that list not enough?
This is a residential neighborhood in Chicago full of ICE, as of 9/27/25.
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
- Pastor Martin Niemöller
Know, don’t think, know, that your time is coming. Speak for someone else before no one is left to speak for you. Organize, create community offline, stop writing shit down on the internet that can be evidence. Stop bringing your phone, your watch, your ANY electronic, I don't care if it's a fuckin Oura ring, if it was connected to your network or ANY DEVICE ON YOUR NETWORK AT ANY POINT, DON’T BRING THAT SHIT TO A ‘PROTEST’, don’t leave it in the car, take that Apple Watch off at home, leave it with your phone. Drive by memory.

There should be another button inside ❤️! Where’s the “Truth” button?
As an African American whose Father was born in 1917, I know hard times are coming. I just don’t think many people who aren’t black or brown understand that this will certainly change their lives more than ours. We’re used to working harder, doing more with less and generally surviving in a white mans world. And as a black woman, we’re tired of carrying the load, but we will because we are built to withstand the pressures of the world. We are survivors. I just pray our caucasian women do better than they’ve done in the last 400 years and stop silently pulling us down just to gain an inch.
💯 Also, I would like to know what makes you think they will take away our ability to leave in the next 2-6 months! I’m working on getting my DNV to Spain (it’s been a lifelong dream that I’m just now able to bring to fruition) and feel that same urgency but it’s because of what my immigrant family went through in Cuba and leaving there to Spain. Would love to know what you know so I can see if there’s a way for me to plan ahead.
