Why You Should Actually Be Terrified Right Now

It’s what happened to Jews in Germany in 1938 when their passports were declared invalid. That is what is beginning to happen here, now, to Hispanic citizens along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Oh, is it bad to compare the GOP to Nazis? Well, if members of the GOP do not like being compared to Nazis, they should consider not behaving exactly like Nazis.

Hispanic U.S. citizens, some of whom were in the U.S. military, are not being allowed to renew their passports. This is reportedly happening to “hundreds, even thousands” of Latinos, according to a report in the Washington Post. They’re getting letters from the State Department saying it does not believe they are citizens. The government claims their citizenships are fraudulent. “I’ve had probably 20 people who have been sent to the detention center—U.S. citizens,” Jaime Diez, an attorney in Brownsville, told The Washington Post.

The Washington Post also reports on ICE officials coming to citizens’ homes and taking their passports away. This is an escalation from a few months ago, when Americans were detained by ICE officials just for speaking Spanish to one another.

The administration is currently launching an effort to take citizenship from people who they suspect of fraud in obtaining it. Fraud in these cases is exceedingly rare. The last time the government tried to strip people of their citizenship was, according to Columbia Professor Mae Ngai, during The Red Scare of the 1950s. As Ngai remarks, McCarthyism is not typically remembered as a good period in American history.

There is good reason to believe that this could portend still worse things to come for the U.S. Hispanic population, unless people begin to speak out loudly, and fast.

First, they came for the Hispanics and I did nothing.

Then they came for (fill in the blanks) and I did nothing.

Then, when they came for me, there was no one to do nothing.

GUYS.

SILENCE IS COMPLICITY.

IT WILL HAUNT NOT ONLY YOU BUT YOUR CHILDRENS CHILDREN.

DONT BE SILENT. PASS THIS AROUND. Let everyone know it’s happening!

SILENCE IS COMPLICITY. MARTIN NIEMOLLER SAID IT. THIS IS HOW IT BEGINS.

TRIGGERED - Page 024

This is where you start to get a little context about who I was and what I believed about sex. The church I grew up in was at the extreme end of the spectrum, and had some very harsh teachings about sex and the bodies of women in particular. I was taught from a young age that anything to do with my sexual self was wrong and sinful, and that the only good and right way to have a sexual experience was within the confines of marriage to an opposite sex partner. I had spent years of therapy trying to overcome these beliefs, but now that my head was in a bad place, suddenly all of these teachings were coming into my consciousness again.

C:  “ I mean, clearly the Almighty wants these children dead, what with their capacity for evil and stuff; so by saving them all, I’m actually going against the Ineffable Plan.”

A: “…You’ve clearly outwitted me this time. I must accept my defeat with grace…”

Aahhhh, this is SO CUTE!! Crowley holding the baby, he looks so tender here and completely at peace with his decision. I could stare at this for ages, I love how the other kids are cuddled up to Aziraphale (his sleeve looks like an angel wing sheltering that one kid, was that intentional?)

Anyway, this is more beautiful than I ever expected, thank you for taking this idea and running with it! You’re a FANTASTIC artist and you really captured this moment <3

Whomever the artist is, I love you for this one.
