#I am aware that not many people will understand this feeling

I know this isn't what this account is usually for but I do want to come on here and say a few things just about the current state of American politics. If I'm being really honest, I'm really scared, I'm disappointed, I'm angry, and I'm sad. This feels so much bigger than it has ever felt. Watching people talk about ICE raids has been terrifying, I'm scared for my friends, for my community, for myself in the future. Please if you can, help people and spread awareness. I am an immigrant who is the daughter of immigrants, who's mother is the daughter of immigrants, who's grandparents were the children of immigrants. My family made their life here, I feel so lucky to have the financial privilege I have and that is a direct result of my grandparents moving here with my mother. For as much as I complain about being here, this country has given so many people, myself included, so much opportunity. And to think that I had this melting pot propaganda force fed to me down my throat only for this country to turn around and threaten mass deportation to people who want to be here it is so hypocritical and it is hurtful. I'm Latina and I am proud and I am hurt seeing people call my people, people from my country and people from the rest of Latin America, call us lazy, call us stupid, call our countries garbage, to let someone speaking for the president talk about how many babies we make like we are not so much more. I've seen it with my own two eyes, my Latine peers are the smartest, highest achieving, kindest, and most accepting people I have ever met and to see people call these people I love such horrible things is so deeply upsetting I cannot even begin to describe the pain. I do not understand why we insist on turning these people who want to be here away. And if we're being real, these Latine people that people complain about come from countries the US has destabilized, the government causes the problem and complains about the result, they light the paper on fire and complain about the ash. The amount of hatred that we will see come to light in the next four years is terrifying. I'm sorry to the women of this country, I'm sorry that our bodies will be seen as modes of reproduction instead of vessels of a human life. I'm sorry to the Palestinian people who's genocide this country will continue to fund. I'm sorry to the people of color and queer people and to anyone in the financial 99%, to disabled people, and to anyone who cares about others, to anyone who will inevitably be left behind. I know this feels very pessimistic and if I'm being honest that's how I feel. That being said I do believe in the goodness of this country, please protest, speak up, fight, riot, and help your neighbors because the government serves you, me, us, we do not serve them. Your love is political, so love people, love everyone and show it, even the people who disagree with you, love, as so well put by James Baldwin, is not a popular movement. It is in these moments I wish I was religious but I am not so I only hope the best Xxx
