Every time I see news about the world making noise about deciding to move on without the us i start bouncing because omg yes!! DO THAT!! You should have done that regardless of who won!

There is no fucking way our word should outweigh that of the entire world. Please, please, please, please, please.

As an American I know it's gonna suck because when you're privileged equality can feel like oppression (as an American I am privileged... So long as I stay an American *glances at those moves towards repealing the 14th amendment*... I... I honestly don't know how long that'll last actually... ). I just need my passport to hold out a ~little longer~ (if it doesn't, I'll figure it out)

CALL THAT FUCKER'S BLUFF!!!

#14th amendment is weird ground for someone who can trace relatives to plantations #Like somebody hopped a fence would I be a citizen based on the plantation owner's inability to keep their hands off my relatives?#Or we just gonna pretend that ain't happen?Even though it's in their records?#What of the free men in my family?#Very messy indeed #Technically the repeal is unlikely to pass *IF* our supreme court doesn't royally fuck us up and the states hold strong #You need 2/3rds and the way this admin is navigating the courts is stupid (using defunct laws that have more than updated in the last 200yr #LIKE YOU CANT JUST PICK AND CHOOSE THE NEW ONE IS THE ONE THAT MATTERS
