A new memo from the Trump administration reveals something shocking: ICE agents have been told they can enter homes without a warrant to arrest migrants, based on little more than suspicion. The Ma…
I’ve resisted, all this time, getting a gun because I have a history of depression and I didn’t want one in the house
however, given I have the blessing of castle doctrine in my state I’m really starting to think getting one might be the smarter decision. at least I might get to go out on my own terms.
I’m in the middle of a bout of heavy depression right now, I just want to live long enough to outlive my close family, namely my parents. They shouldn’t have to sit through my funeral.
Being gay and neurodivergent, though, I don’t think I have that long in this country. And I have no method to escape.
Hey. One of my best friends was gay and had depression. He came from a very religious family and struggled with both of these things his entire life. Then he got sick and didn’t seek treatment for a medical issue that was curable but fatal if untreated. He died. I think he chose not to seek treatment because it was an out that he didn’t have to affirmatively choose.
The world is a worse place without him. It’s been 3 years and I still think about him almost every day. Please find a better solution.
sorry but if the choice is between “going quietly with the men from the government” for being an undesirable, and just ending it there and then, I’m choosing the gun. I’ve suffered enough where I am.
Luckily, as a firearm owner the choice then becomes “go quietly with the men who claim to be from the government”, or to cancel the home invaders’ life subscription. Especially in a castle doctrine state. If they can’t or won’t show identification then you have carte blanche to start blasting. Not only that but doing so is a morally good act.
I hope you manage to survive this, i really do, but if you finally decide you cant handle it any longer, use it to strike back decisively in a focused way that protects the innocent and hurts the Nazis.
I’m so sorry that i have to write that. I am also coming to grips that at my age, i am realizing that my story may have a twist ending that i never suspected. If anything happens to my son (also part of vulnerable communities), i will become a very dangerous person.

You have to weigh the likelihood of a warrantless raid versus another bout of heavy depression.

Don’t kill yourself that’s just giving them what they want. Existence is resistance.

Who said anything about going quietly. Rage, rage.
