I am american, moreso than most realistically. My family has been texan since before even texas was american. I am brown and have a Latin last name, there’s a ton of us the same here in texas. In my family the generation before me was the last that inherited spanish from the family and none are fluent (texmex spanglish at best), at least not without schooling.
This is all to say that my drivers license is on me at all times outside of my house. I carry it everywhere, even on my smoke breaks at work, even when I’m washing my car, even when I’m checking my mail.

I’ve always been critical of the US and the bed of racism it was founded and grown on. I’ve never been more ashamed of it than I have in the last decade. So many decent folk have been hurt by this administration and those who think like them that it feels insurmountable to come back from.
Rest assured that those perpetuating these crimes will be held to account, even if they have to be hunted down like Saddam Hussein. There will be no quarter, no amount of money, and no mercy to save them from their fate; in life nor afterward.
The thing is, unfortunately, they’ll call your drivers license fake and disappear you all the same if their app says you’re not legal. Apparently their facial recognition app is never wrong and no matter what documentation you may have on you at the time, if the app says you’re going on a plane to El Salvador, well buddy I got bad fuckin news for ya.
