America has stopped giving a shit. And it will come back to bite Americans. Hard. There's a lot of leopards a-comin'.
I suggest you delete your accounts that can be tied to your identity before January. They will absolutely go through social media after the deportations and incarcerations to continue to fuel their need for forced labor. I'll be doing the same shortly. It was an honor, but now is the time to prepare for the underground.
That is a very good idea for many people. In our case, we will be taking advantage of my dual citizenship and emigrating to the UK, where it is safe. For now. We'll have to cross the next bridge if we come to it.
I'm actually pretty sad reading this after the library and community work you shared recently. We'll need more folks like you to stick around, people that can get positive change done. But also totally understand, need to do what's best for you and loved ones
We're sad about it too, but we really don't have a choice. Our daughter is queer and she's never been in the closet. Deleting social media wouldn't be enough. There are things like Discord chats that can't be deleted. She also can't keep a secret to save her life.
If we stayed and she was taken away from us, we would never forgive ourselves.
