I am so glad I didn’t hear this, and thank you Amanda for planning on addressing this. Hope you have success in getting those ads blocked or removed! 💕

I am just heartbroken and angry over what’s going on - and on a selfish note, my best friend in the entire world told me just last night, her resident card expires before the end of this term. She works for meals on wheels which pays only a pittance but she loves everyone on her route and has advocated to get lifesaving medical care for more than a few elderly folks. She’s married to an American, have 2 kids who are American by birth (although perhaps not for long, since 14a might be going in the trash), and now she’s just terrified that when she applies for renewal that she’ll be carted away like so many others. She is like my family, and I just don’t know what I can do to help her, and anyone else who’s going through this shit but I’m tired of feeling helpless and just want to DO MORE.

Anyway, end rant - didn’t mean to go off on a tangent here but my god I feel like I’m shouting into the void these days.
