        For real?

        I wake up every day wondering if family members, friends and neighbors have been kidnapped or even shot by my own government just because of the color of their skin. That’s in addition to a laundry list of other things the US is doing to destroy us, but that’s what keeps me up at night the most.

          I’m for real.

          I understand. But that doesn’t really take much time out of your day, or? Or can you not have fun anymore because of this fact about your life? Is your whole day spent worrying about this?

            I think your taking things a bit too literal.

            Yes what I said legitimately worries me on a daily basis. Some family members are on citizen statuses that have had people deported in the past few weeks.

            I still find some joy in things but it’s hard while this shit is having direct impacts on my life.
