ICE in Portland

Three, two, one...
Unfortunately, federal agents have arrived in my hometown. Well, Vancouver is my actual hometown. You need to cross a wide river to get to where I am, if you're in P Town. Or you need to take the I5, which I don't recommend unless traffic is your fetish.
I'm not an apologist for ANTIFA, but I would really rather not have Trump's goons stirring up the beehive. As much as I was horrified by the 100 days of riots during the BLM movement, I was more worried about the unmarked white vans that started popping up. Men in tactical gear, unidentifiable, started picking up kids in black hoodies. I guess these guys would be about as close to being secret police as you can get, judging by what they looked like. Some conservatives spoke up and said they thought the men in white vans were essentially criminals.
Again, any goofball radical throwing bricks at government buildings or a Nikes store should be arrested, but sending troops to do it is a gross misuse of power, as is seizing control of Oregon's national guard. ICE employees are never going to concede that their conduct and tactics are highly, highly disagreeable, to put in mildly. ANTIFA would be the inverse, though. Both of them wear masks, because they know what they're doing is unethical. And, quite honestly, inconvenient as all get out.
Referring to MAGA, I personally am not afraid of immigrants or bums at large. I, on occasion, make broad sweeping generalizations about them, but at the end of the day, all I really care about is anyone's deportment. You can have zero legal documents, but if you are a lawful human being that is not an asshole, I do not care about your status. In fact, if you're also polite and thoughtful? You are just another one of us poor sons of bitches that is trying to not end up on the street. Trump is literally destroying this country, right now. Stop telling AMERICAN woman what they can and can't do with their bodies. And, ultimately, stop causing traffic jams with your virginal crypto trading gym rats. You are fascists.
Referring to ANTIFA, stop getting Trump reelected. Yes, some police officers are former members of the KKK and some of them have murdered black Americans and they've gotten away with it. Justice was not served. There's a healthy contingent of White Christian Nationalists that want to rewrite the Constitution so that it isn't a secular document. Some of them are hypnotized zombies, for sure, but mandating vaccines and ostracizing people that are "problematic" serves as a recruitment tool. You want to "un" recruit them. Not admitting your own mistakes, like electing the Deporter in Chief or being just as addicted to shopping at Amazon as any other capitalist or just as bigoted towards whites as a counterbalance or trying to take everyone's right to own guns away, is also counter intuitive... if you still want a Messiah, his name is Daryl Davis. Davis talks to white supremacists. He opens up his sexy little heart and then a dialogue starts. And then sometimes, these guys throw out their robes. It's not easy to do, but if Charlie Kirk's wife can forgive his killer, you can try to nut up and do the same.
It's so maddeningly simple to me. Stop hurting other people and trying to control them. It's like, in my mind, you could color Putin's hair pink and replace a few of the nouns and it's the same problem.

Is there any way that you can maybe complete a trial run with moving to France? Maybe just visit it for a week or a month. My sister-in-law's friend moved there and she visited said friend and she reported that they don't have a washer and dryer. Also I think maybe they don't use deodorant, and they casually fart around each other. That all could just be my suppressed bigotry, but I'm worried that you won't like it and that you'll end up getting stuck there. My geography is almost nonexistent, but I think it's closer to Russia, too, and right now Putin is being an enormous faggot.
