Apparently there’s been ICE agents in the town I live in. Ofc they decide to come here since there’s a high population of Latinos especially in my neighborhood.   There’s so many hard working people here, it’s really sad to see.

guys, i'm really scared, i know they say that's how they want you to feel, but that doesn't necessarily change the way that i feel, i don't think anyone in their right mind WOULDN'T be scared or at least concerned

 

they're already targeting women, they're attempting to ban abortion federally, they're removing the names of women and their accomplishments off of websites, they're covering the portraits of women who have made accomplishments in certain buildings, it seems like they're really going to start taking away all that we've fought for, and it's so scary, i want to become someone, someday, i want to do great things, but i worry now that i will never be able to do anything with myself, and that my life will never amount to anything, people online are speculating that elon musk is going to freeze the assets of all the women in this country and force us out of work, that can't possibly happen, right? i feel like the country would quite literally collapse if that were to happen, but, i don't know, maybe that's what they want, and maybe i'm a fool for even believing that could possibly happen, but it just seems to be getting worse

 

it makes me very upset to think of how much has been going on, and only in the past few weeks, and how nobody seems to care, trump literally wants to wipe out an entire country for really no good reason, and nobody seems to really care, or want to do anything to stop it, it's a massive shame that most people aren't even aware of these things, and even if they are, they likely aren't too concerned, perhaps they think that since it won't impact them, it doesn't matter, which i find to be just... sad, the lack of humanity is deeply troubling, it makes me lose faith in humanity, why are humans so cruel, selfish, and ignorant? i don't understand it, at all

 

i find it so hard to live in general, i am just not strong enough for this world, or for life, majority of the time, and i can't handle it getting worse, or to be controlled in ways i never thought were possible, if they really do find a way to control us, so much, to the point where we have no options, i'm not sure if i could handle living like that, my life has always been honestly pretty shitty as it is, and maybe i've always been silly for thinking it ever would truly get better, lol

I knew the previous thing but I didn't know that they're removing the names and the recognition of women who have accomplished big things. Everything what his office has done so far has been evil and vile.

 

It's really sad to see you and many other American women going through that and maybe the following thing I'm going to say is stupid but don't let them win. If you surrendered, they would get their way and everything they wanted. And also as Lana said, if we hold onto hope we would get out happy ending. Don't lose any faith in yourself.

i get what you're saying, and it's what everyone's saying, to not give up, to not surrender, it's just so hard for me to not want to, although i've always been resilient, considering the fact that i'm still here, and i still manage to get up everyday, but i'm just so... weak, at the same time, i just want to cry, i just want everything to get better, even though that feeling goes beyond politics

 

i just want everything to be okay, and it doesn't seem like they are, we didn't do anything to deserve this, it's just very saddening

If you still manage to get up everyday, it's half a victory. If you're resilient, you're a strong woman, even if you feel weak at times. I really wish there was world where everyone would feel safe and happy. sorry for sounding too clichey

I feel like if my rights are going to be taken away to the point where I don't legally exist, I might as well be at self-destructive as I can

don't forget that you're not alone! there are a lot of protests I've seen in the news and I don't think millions of women and other victims of the trump government will just surrender to their fate
