    Yes, I’m sure about that. There’ve been a few dozen notable deaths across a 350-million-person country. That may be shocking for you, but for the places that most refugees are coming from that level of danger is nothing.

    I’m not saying “oh, everything’s fine down there in the US, quit complaining.” You’ve got a serious problem and you need to fix it. But have some perspective. Before you flee to another country consider fleeing to California.

      My Hispanic family in LA isn’t feeling too secure right now, especially since the local superintendents house and office were just raided by the FBI, apparently looking for students’ migration status.

      Yes, things could be worse. It’s fucking dangerous to be an immigrant/poc/disabled/lgbtq though.
