Recently people in one of my writing groups talked about leaving the country and I spent most of the meet shell-shocked and incredibly tired at the display of privilege. Running away when things get mildly inconvenient for you. Meanwhile disabled people, bipoc, queer people etc continue to watch our livelihoods slim to nothing and not be able to escape it.

I'm still kind of shell-shocked, if I'm being honest.

#It's Also Like. If You Leave the Country Who Will Help Us Activism Wise? You Could Use Your Privilege for Soooo Much #But Instead You Want to Run Because You're Mad the More Overt Fascist Won.#And Like. Same Girl But Also I CANT RUN. I Dont Have Money? Where Would I Go?#Where COULD I Go That Doesnt Want to Kill Me Or Legislate Me Away Or Is Otherwise Becoming America Pt 2???#Instead I Must Stay Here and Fight to Keep My Rights From Being Written Away.#And Honestly It Is Incredible Cowardice On Your Part That You Dont Want to Stay and Do the Same.#alex has the floor
