Probably 1/4th of them were autistic and this pulled them away from family support networks they desperately needed.

And as being a nation where local and state governments can't be trusted to protect many of its citizens and may be eager to harm them.

I sincerely hope they are safe. I really don't want to get up off this couch - BUT I WILL!

I’m sorry that they had to leave. I’m thrilled that they’ve come to Illinois.

2/ It might be hard for cis people to fully grasp but living as a trans person right now is incredibly stressful. Obviously those in red states have it the worst but even living in blue states is still stressful

Forced displacement is a crime against humanity

I know a family who left my state after the election. He was a gay, adoptive parent of two girls and he didn't want to raise them here. He's considering leaving the country now. If I could have left I would have.

and I would argue it's forced displacement. which is a crime against humanity. we will NEVER forget that.

Not transgender but this brown-skinned, foreign born citizen spent a year in New England away from my “neighbors” in coastal GA. I couldn’t even let my relatives stay in my coastal condo because I was afraid my “good Christian” neighbors would call ICE. Been a citizen for 77 years but still afraid.
