   A Mexican-American friend who lives here on a Green Card and is the mother of five US citizens, including a US Army Vet and an LAPD officer, just collapsed into my arms crying, saying that she no longer drives on the freeway because she's afraid of being stopped by ICE and kidnapped.

     @pluralistic I'm quite literally a US citizen, and my family has been here since *long* before the United States existed, yet I get harassed by the police and border patrol regularly.

     My passport (which I often have to show to cross my own state) expires here shortly, and I'm honestly not eager to travel in my own state until the replacement arrives.

     "Fascism is coming" people say. It's already here, and it's been hogging the couch for some time.
