America has now spent approximately $102 million on Trump’s vacations. Almost exclusively to his own institutions.
people sayin “NOT ALL COPS” are missing the pointwe say “ACAB” because “All Cops Are Complicit In A Corrupt System That Disproportionately Targets PoC, Queer Individuals, And The Poor And It Needs To Be Reformed” is less catchy, and “Some Cops Suck” breeds complacencyif we refuse to hold the entire system accountable, then all that happens is complete and total stagnation. saying “not all cops are bad” is like saying “not all men are abusive” - all it does is give the cops and the system propping them up plausible deniability to hide behind.
When they eventually started dating, Cecilia told him that she had crossed the border into California several times in her early 20s. Immigration officials had caught her twice, first after crossing in Calexico and then in San Ysidro.“Why would you want to be with me, knowing I’m like that?” she asked.“I love you for who you are,” he told her.After a year of dating, Jason proposed. They got married in his uncle’s backyard. Then came Ashton. Cecilia gave up her job cleaning hotels and settled into life as a stay-at-home mom in this affluent Atlanta suburb, making Ashton pancakes and grits for breakfast and taking him for strolls to the local park.“You’re not a criminal,” Jason tried to reassure her. “You don’t have to worry about it.”Jason had faith that the Trump administration would distinguish between good and bad immigrants. Cecilia had never even gotten a traffic ticket.“In my mind, bad hombres were people who did bad things,” he said. “We figured that he was going to get rid of the people we didn’t want.”So he voted for Trump, assuring himself and his wife that the ultimate decision was in God’s hands.
They decided to go to the ICE appointment with a plane ticket and a plan. If you allow us to spend Christmas and New Year’s together, they told the immigration agent, Cecilia would self-deport in January.They were not sure it would work. As they waited at a cubicle, a woman sobbed as she was given a few moments to say goodbye to her young children. But the ICE agent agreed.So they roasted a beef tenderloin over Thanksgiving and piled presents under the tree at Christmas. After New Year’s, Jason and Ashton flew with Cecilia to Guadalajara and took an Uber to her family’s home in the rural town of Juanacatlán.It was Jason’s first time in Mexico and he was shocked by the poverty of her hometown. Stray dogs roamed the dirt roads, and mosquitoes buzzed inside homes with no air conditioning or drinkable tap water. Locals ran tiendas inside their rundown homes.Until then, Jason had not really grasped why his wife took the risk of crossing the border for a better life.
