Christmas feels different to me this year. Is it just me? How does today feel to you?

No. Fascism is on the rise, my livelihood is literally in danger. I'm spending these days preparing for the worst, so when people try to talk to me about joy and family, it comes off as somewhere between tone-deaf and gaslighting

That’s terrible! What’s your livelihood?

With AI that could literally be anything now. Or they could be LGBTQ. Or black. Or a woman.

It's both on the rise and now acceptable.

My brown family that started families with other brown people talked about the facism the entire time.

My brown family that started family with white people all believe that facism isn't a thing.

The future is not good

Careful outing yourself as a brown family, this apparently means you're illegal and need to be turned into immigration authorities in coastal Oregon.

It was intentional in my part; fuck los pinches gringos

I say this because the brown familiares que casaron son gringos y les merecenen que les votaran.

And I mean this; we are sliding into facism solamenta por los pendejos y ellos son las pendejos en esa situation and I'm sick and tired of being of being the future Americans who don't understand. Coje les pendejos, nunce les voy a visitar.

Cómo cara blanca, digo que chinga tu racismo. Es la ruina y la derrota del gente. Juntos, se puede. Divididos, caímos.
