Simply being here is supposed to give you the same rights as anyone else, but here we are.
No one understands that once it gets to the point where people who were born and raised American by American parents start to get arrested without legal protections … it will be too late to protest or fight against the authoritarian government.

Whenever i see these “angry townhall” videos from the US recently im just stuck thinking of the “They are not hurting the right people” meme. Im still not convinced these people have understood the root of the problem, they are only mad because they were individually affected somehow.
I can’t remember where exactly I saw it, but one statement that’s stuck with me since reading it is something like, “I don’t know how to explain to you that you should care about other people.”
There it is! Thank you.
“Title of a Huffpost article” wasn’t even remotely where I thought I’d seen it, but this is definitely it!
