Good to hear from you. I’m doing okay, just taking things day by day. Hope you’re well too.

Words that once described a moral stance were reshaped into a targetable noun, not to clarify meaning, but to criminalize dissent. 2/2

6. ….safety, shelter, and selfhood.

This is a manufactured crisis—
the result of choices made by those who see people like me as expendable.
We are not.
I am not.

I’m still here.
Exhausted, yes.
But not erased.
Not yet.

I’m not alone—I know that.
There are so many others in this same boat,
quietly treading water while those in power
burn everything down with smug indifference.
Their cruelty is policy.
Their apathy is killing us.
And they dare to call themselves “Christian”
as they strip people of….🧵 5/6

I’m autistic and high masking.
That means I’ve spent my life pretending I’m okay when I’m not.
I don’t usually ask for help.
But now—I need it.
And it feels like the world has turned its back. 🧵 4/6

This isn’t just grief—it’s rage.
Because I shouldn’t have to worry about keeping a roof over my head or whether I’ll have enough food to eat.
Not at this age. Not after everything I’ve survived.
Not in a country that claims to value freedom and dignity. 🧵 3/6

Throwing away old photos, sending off family memories to others
because I can’t carry them anymore.

It feels like a death.
Not just of belongings—but of parts of me.
Who I was.
Who I thought I might get to be by now. 🧵 2/6

When hope stood at the crossroads,
They chose a path astray,
Now we dream of what we could have had
As night swallows the day.

Now we sit and watch the chaos,
The thugs who cheer and fight,
While those who chose this nightmare
Still claim they saw the light.

We could have had a leader
Who knew our daily pain,
But we got a selfish empire
Of profit, loss, and gain. 🧵
