Pt.3 - Regardless, the stories you tell yourself about how this play's out. Don't let your own Disney flavored delusion convince you that you will come out unscathed. You're not the 'RichRich' #WhitePerson. You're just as poor in their eyes as 99% of us. They're trying to kill US. don't just react.

Pt. 2 - We all have a responsibility to each other. If you are empathetic, you know this. If you care most about your own self-preservation or "Im just looking out for my own happiness" mentality. you would still be more aligned in your goal, in fighting what's happening. This is not like last time.

Here’s my write up on the most racist decision to come out of the Supreme Court in a while. The court approved of Trump’s racial profiling of Latinos with Brett Kavanaugh saying being harassed based on the color of your skin is “common sense.”

The Supreme Court Just Gave the OK to Racial Profiling
The court’s ruling allowing ICE to resume its indiscriminate round-ups of LA’s Latino residents can only be described as one thing.
