Do you feel extreme anxiety when you walk in your neighorhood or go for a drive in your car?

30. I read this soon before I had to be off somewhere, and wanted to give it a proper response...

Now I have time.
I'm so sorry your son experienced such violent police response. And in general for both of you driving around, or walking around in your neighborhood, or elsewhere to being watched by racist white people, and other previous nasty encounters with police.
A scary "revelation" recently seeing yourself, and your son in your truck's mirror.

On occasion, walking around as a woman can feel creepy.

Back to you. I've done/do my best to be aware of police abuses of Black people, and other POCs. So far, until this immigration stuff, Black folks have gotten the worse. Read about it quite further back, later on line (definitely a lot of years before George Floyd), then videos even in recent years. I could certainly cite a bunch of these. I have a still good memory for the good, and the bad.

And how worse it's gotten with Trump's permissions to racists, Nazis etc!
I made sure I voted early in 2020, 2024 so nothing if things went wrong (an accident, family emergency) that would have prevented me from getting to vote on Election Day.

I blame all who didn't vote for VP for any reason. They knew what he was like from term 1!

I vote, I call, sometimes speak out, I write emails to try and make this a better cointry in general, for the vulnerable, and those never granted first class citizenship in the first place.

To (somehow) a better USA (and World)!
Stay safe!
