I live in an area where people ask you where you’re from and if you actually live in the neighborhood. They may assume you don’t speak English, like they have with my wife.

ICE has already gone through the town nextdoor, and I’m waiting for our turn. I’m light-skinned, but my wife and kids are dark with Mayan features. I fear that all anyone has to do to terrorize my family is call a hotline. We have all our citizenship documentation, but that doesn’t matter anymore.

I keep waiting for the day when I’m going to have to defend my family, but I might not even be around when things take place. What if they come take my wife while she’s at work? What if she goes shopping and never comes back?

I have nothing without my family. I have nothing.

    So you’re saying we’d be much better off because we’d have single-payer health care, a less hyperlocalized education system, tax-funded post-secondary education, and we’d prioritize soccer in high school rather than a sport made up of barbarism in body armor?

    I’m really struggling to get the downside anymore. The Masons and the Gnostics ought to have paid their taxes and kept their heads down.

      You might want to do some research on how awesome living in England is currently. It’s not all spoonfuls of sugar over there innit. I salute the blade runners for standing up for freedom cross the pond.
