Only just saw that Trump intends to pay for the wall by essentially blackmailing people who want to support their families. No words.
I sincerely love Holly Wood's writing. On rights vs risks and consenting to oppression: https://medium.com/@girlziplocked/that-feeling-when-you-mistake-risks-for-rights-and-thus-consent-to...
