Today I told my neighbor from Paraguay that everything will be okay, after she cried from reading about ICE in the news. (slrpnk.net)

I can't see the meme for some reason, but on the subject of ICE raids. I no longer live in the States, but have a friend back home who was sort of illegal until maybe ten or so years back. I don't recall all the details, but his parents were illegal, and while he was born here, he wasn't yet registered or something fucky like that. He did attend public schools, so I don't know what the implication is there. His legality is supposed to be all sorted out now.

Anyway. Biggest sweetheart on the planet. Very shy, but all smiles. Now he has a wife (also Mexican) and three kids, and appears to be living a happy life, but I'm nervously waiting for the day they just stop posting. Sometimes I want to reach out privately and ask him if they're safe and have a good community, but I worry Facebook will just funnel that conversation to ICE and throw him and his children into Guantanemo Bay.

What a fucked up reality we're seeing here.

Here's the meme. It wouldn't initially load for me, either, but I went out found it based on the thumbnail.

Thank you! Over on Lemmy world via jerboa I didn't even get a thumbnail

Incidentally, I think this post from an admin detailing some recent tech problems with slrpnk might explain the difficulty.
