Things aren’t looking great…
It sucks when the state kills people
Wish we could do something about it

[the character is now in front of their TV, showing ICE agents surrounding a bleeding corpse on the floor]
Wait… this time they killed WHITE people
This means it could happen to me too?!

    The group I volunteer for is trying to solve the problem you’re talking about, educating people on stuff that happens South of the border and everything that most Americans haven’t heard about. We’re really well informed and keep up to date, but it’s hard to know every name of every person the government has been murdering, because frankly, that’s a lot of info. Not even just emotionally, it’s just too much to grasp. It’s too much to report on, and even if there was a news segment over every one of them, it would be a constant drone that eventually you wouldn’t hear anymore.

    Because of this though I’ve seen a lot of conservatives trying to pull a “gotcha” and say “well you didn’t care about these people so obviously you’re fake!”

    Idk. Just thought it might be better to like, encourage people to learn more than shaming them for ignorance.

    Thanks for the condolences on my cat, keep checking their kidneys when they are older.
