We're fucked. Form mutual aid groups, get out if you can.
Got family out last year (inter-racial marriage), I'm mostly out myself.
Last year made me truly appreciate the meaning of the word 'privilege'.
The south has never, and can NEVER forget we elected a black man over them. There is no greater crime in their conception.
Any advice on getting out? It’d be greatly appreciated.
Get a passport and leave. Figure the rest out while you're not in a concentration camp. MILLIONS of Jewish people fled Germany this way.
I'm so fucking glad my entire family got ours last year. We are so fucking gone when the shit hit the fan.
Do you have family overseas? No matter how distant, now might be the time to make friends.
If you have in-demand skills, you have a relatively good path to immigration. More so if you know multiple languages. If not, now is the time to learn.
Married to a European, so I just lucked out, she made sure the kid was a dual citizen too.
My wife can apply for dual citizenship as the grand daughter of Irish immigrants. Her sister already moved to Ireland about five years ago. We're making plans to protect our son.
I may be called a coward, and part of me would agree, but I've watched this country descend into fascism for over thirty years. I no longer have hope that things will get better.
A coward for your country, a hero for your family. Godspeed.
Problem is you can't escape what's been set in motion, only delay it. It's creeping in everywhere, corrupting it all. Sooner or later we will have to face it collectively and it's not going to be pretty.
I’m calling you an idiot for waiting until now to fill up on it , that’s for damn sure. Been watching the country dEsCeNd for 30y & only today decided you’d had enough huh? Passport office go hurrrr
