They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear.

Khalil’s detention means we are a hop, skip & jump away from political persecutions. It’s a steep, slippery slope from here to “speak out against Trump & go to jail.” Being different, unpopular, or “other” will get you removed from your home in this new world. joycevance.substack.com/p/first-they...
