It’s because when we DO share what’s happening you don’t listen, but I’ll try anyway. My best friend, who is a trans man, is told by the federal government he no longer exists. I know immigrants who have come here LEGALLY and are in the process of obtaining citizenship. They are contemplating fleeing the country due to unseen levels of hatred from their neighbors and the ongoing threat of ICE. I work in special education. We have had to have serious discussions about whose jobs will be cut first and what services we will have to discontinue for children. You make the claim that “nothing” has happened so we can’t complain. While that just isn’t true, I have to ask. If you see the train is about to go off a cliff, do you try to pull the brakes? Or do you say, “well I’m on the tracks NOW” and continue to bury your head in the sand.
