Sadly, this has become my new motto in life. [View all]



This resonates with me, hard, because my wife is a naturalized citizen, a dual citizen.

She got her US citizenship under Biden, but now she lives in fear every day. She's afraid to even leave the house by herself.

(And YES! I'm concerned about EVERYONE affected by Mango Mussolini! I'm just highlighting the effect it's had on me & my family.)

If you're not a naturalized citizen or emotionally close to one it may be difficult to understand. The thing is, the Trump ICE/Gestapo are grabbing people & taking them into custody for the most minor, or even nonexistent (made-up), things.

The whole situation makes my heart ache & bleed. I never thought I would live to see the day when I was at war with my own government... but here we are.

Thanks for listening, my DU friends.
Y'all should know I don't make lengthy personal posts like this very often because my business keeps me so busy I just don't have time, but I've put all my customers on hold for a couple weeks so I can do things for myself. And this issue... this issue is weighing heavily on me because I love my wife immensely & she's living in fear of the Trump Regime every day.

Again, thank all of you for reading.
