And of course, if they don't like you or feel your skin is too dark, they will say "this is a copy, it doesn't count." They've already been known to still abduct and imprison people with Real I.D.s and other proper identification.

How do children learn when they can't ever feel safe? They're already going into overloaded classrooms with insufficient support in most city schools. The odds were already stacked against them w/o them having to look over their shoulder or wonder if their parents will be home when they get there.

Fuck... Similar feeling when my 11 year old (now 19) told me exactly where in the woods they would meet their friends if they had to run from a school shooter. Republicans, in all cases, are failing our kids.

"... if I create enough noise, my friends can get away." A 9-year old with so much more courage than the average congress person. I think I got a cramp in my soul reading this...

These remind me an American women and her Italian boyfriend discussing a murder in a movie. The victim tried to run a straight line and is shoot in the back. She criticized no one should be as stupid to run that way if they wanted to survive and even children know that. Her boyfriend didn't know.

“Mom if I create enough noise my friends can get away” one moment, I need to deal with the serious dust problem in this room. Nope, not selling that, just a 45 year old man straight up crying.

"so my friends can get away." Never in my fucking life. I worry about this with my adult women friends about predatory men at bars, but it should never be a 9yo at a bus stop, going to school. Fuck this administration. I will never forgive this.

Funny how ICE is shooting white women in face, dragging pregnant women through streets, detaining 5-year-old preschoolers like a full-blown occupying force, people are suddenly shocked. Minneapolis looks like Israel. Americans are treated like Palestinians! Dems aren't blameless! Not America First!

Targetting people everywhere - several months back when ICE stopped traffic in our town and checked - my wife called me scared- even though she is a citizen.

Yep, this was always going to be the result of training kids to be soldiers & field medics & telling them they had to do it bc a bunch of white guys want to wave military weaponry at their neighbors & don't care if all the kids die in the process. U. S. kids know they're worth nothing to adults.

”Oh, but we can‘t teach about slavery or the Native American genocide; that might make the white children feel bad.” There is one kind of child that is not allowed to feel bad in America. Every other child gets treated like a criminal for existing. I have known this from a young age.

No one gave a shit about whether I felt good about myself when I was targeted for racial bullying and harassment. At least my bullying was confined to my Catholic school. These kids are being harassed and targeted by the federal government. I am so full of rage on their behalf, I could spit.

It’s obscene. But also, does having the passport help, since ICE don’t seem to care if they’re arresting citizens of any age? They might just take/lose the passport.

basics: although Puerto Rican people are US citizens by annexation, they do not have federal voting rights. as far as feeling "safe", the residents of Puerto Rico, and their relatives and friends on the mainland know exactly who Trump is and what he's capable of. Hurricane María, paper towels
