    I’m sorry, but I’m calling you bs

    it’s not called having solidarity, I’m one of those at risk.

    that’s like saying vulnerable people at risk of COVID need to have solidarity to other people and go out without masks.

    I’m going to protests, I’m doing what i can, I volunteer in mutual aids, and I fear every moment that ICE will detain me and I’ll never see my daughters again.

    I’m not your pawn, and I’m already doing whatever I can while keeping myself safe. It’s American voters who put me in this situation. and now they want me to put myself at risk even more?

      Then you should already understand that keeping your actions “legal” doesn’t guarantee protection, and that forgoing effective means of resistance only helps the oppressors to have an easier time oppressing your fellow people.

      The voters are not responsible for your oppression. The regime that is engaging in oppressive practices is.
