[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I definitely post political stuff on FB, along with personal stuff about how I’m doing, music I like, or sometimes travel photos. I post up to 3 times a week.

I do it because I know people who are immigrants, and I want them to know I have their backs. I do it to show courage, because that’s what it takes to put yourself out there in resistance to the current administration. I do it to let everyone know where I stand, so they don’t mistake me as a fan of 47. I do it because what is happening unseen and yes, undocumented!, in ICE detention centers is stunningly close to German ghettos and concentration camps in the 1930s, and I’ve always judged harshly the Germans who did nothing.

And I do it, and show up at protests, to lessen the danger for the other people who are doing it. If you’re coming for that person, I’m standing up with them. That’s why my heroes as a middle aged white person, are a bunch of ordinary young people and dedicated politicians from the civil rights era of American history. It’s a marathon not a sprint.
