before ICE went full murder battalion…
I need to share a story with you about the USA I grew up in. When I was learning how to drive and into college, especially afterwards, living alone and driving through a few states late at night… I was taught if a cop flashed their lights at you, it was your right to keep driving and call 911 to verify that a legitimate cop was trying to pull you over. I believe there may have been a series of impersonations going on across the nation where women were being kidnapped, raped, and murdered by fake cops….? At least that’s what my mTBI brain remembers…
So this was how I was taught to be pulled over by the cops. And never let them in or even open the door until you verify their badge number through 911. Fortunately, I never really had many dealings with cops. The few I have had have not been great, but that’s a whole nother Jerry Springer… Yes, I understand very very much that this was a huge thing to do with the privilege I had because of my skin color. And that if I was not white this technique would have gotten me killed a long time ago, as it seems cops are used to beating and intimidating and hurting and abusing; not protecting.
Waking up to this world, and seeing what happened to Renee Good shows me that this is not true anymore either. The real cops would rather shoot you then protect American citizens. The ICE ‘agents’, are apparently trained for malicious intent these days. They start immediately with the escalation. I was taught to fight tooth and nail if someone tried to abduct you from your car or the street. There seems to be no conversation, just immediate beating and man-handling and abuse, escalating to murder… This is what I was taught the rapists and pedophiles do, so fight if you are ever grabbed. I would fight back too, and after a white woman driving away from ICE was murdered for her audacity to care about others enough to stand up to the assholes who are going unchecked in a country that’s supposed to be ‘free’. After that… I imagine other people think they will be murdered too. I’m all for peaceful protesting, I’m not going out to do bad things, I want us to be free and safe. Violence begets violence tho… and it seems trump wants war on american streets with his malicious and inhumane plans to take over our country. When will you start fighting back…?
Fuck all of you who think we are free. I know I am not. You all took away my rights when I was sick. I won’t let you keep taking them away, and I will fight to get what you stole back too. How dare you leave your daughters and granddaughters with less rights that you had when you grew up, you sick fucks. We are not supposed to go backwards; fucking evolve assholes!!
It was my hysterectomy that allowed me to start my recovery from my brain injury. if I hadn’t been able to do that, I would still need a caregiver 100% of the time and not be able to leave the dark and quiet. And although sometimes I wish I was still in the dark and quiet, because of the disgusting mess this world is; I can’t unsee this… There is no pill that will allow me to keep living and not see what I have seen in this country and my community this past year and a half. I had my surgery before roe was overturned, who knows how hard I would have fight to have it these days… it’s sick that some might not be able to recover from their injuries because they can’t have a simple surgery. Because you disgusting people think you have any right to dictate that a woman must have a fucking baby. If you think you have any right in that decision for that person, go fuck all the way off.
