Immigrant in New York. Cis + she/her. 120 weeks in recovery. Unite Ireland. Free Palestine. Abolish ICE. Immigrants deserve rights, not platitudes. Republican, but not in the American way.

Frankly, the idea of shoe horning my fat ass into a train seat or an airplane seat terrifies the life out of me. Especially alongside someone who has a panic disorder and would probably just freak out that I was taking too long to sit down. I'd rather travel by driving for now.

It's pretty expensive to travel even for a weekend or a couple of days, so I can't go as often as I'd like, but I also just don't want to lose momentum.

I will never forget posting about being happy I got my green card after being undocumented for 20 years, which would get me people being supportive if I had a private account, and having a bunch of people I didn't know who follow me tell me I was going to get deported anyway. Thanks guys. ๐ซก

So I don't think I feel comfortable flying or taking the train just yet, so it looks like my next trip will be to Toronto by way of driving though Niagara Falls. Because I don't want to stop traveling just until I feel comfortable on a plane or a train, because that could take me months.

A local diner was raided by ICE and 14 people were kidnapped, and most of the locals seem more concerned with where they're going to get their hashbrowns than with anything else. Unfriendly reminder that immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers and migrants don't owe you labor to deserve respect.

I know thereโs a lot going on but in June ICE took custody of a U.S.-born citizen in Chicago, Illinois and handed him over to a private contractor, which confined him in a hotel without a phone or other form of communication for five days. The city and state arenโt ready for whatโs coming next.
