    Yep, me too all because they were brown. Racism was always the point of Trump deportation stick. And fucking mega base is loving it. We can thank those who set at the election and the never Harris crowd for now all stuck in this hellhole. Except for FlyingSquid who luckily was able to escape. But fucking people had just voted he would had to escape which probably wasn’t easy.

      It is not easy, but it is something I was lucky to be able to do. Right now, no job, my savings are running out, my wife (a librarian, risking imprisonment) is still stuck in the U.S., and if I don’t find anything in a couple of months, what I do have saved up will be gone and I don’t know what we’ll do.

      But yeah, a lot of people will be worse off than us and I’m sorry.

          I am a dual citizen. Which means I can legally live in the UK.

          If I don’t get a job paying at least £29,000 a year, I can’t get a family visa. My daughter can legally stay here for six months without one, but not get any public healthcare. This has already been a problem. No doctor was available on time and she ran out of one of her pills and FedEx refused to ship it on time and now she had to quit it cold turkey and is feeling the effects. Thankfully, I can step her back up again when the pills arrive today.

        As another librarian, it’s fucking terrifying work these days. We are beloved by the people but a giant target for this administration. I loved this work for decades but I’m about to flee for industry because I’m exhausted. We’re also not super portable, library jobs are hard to come by and those outside the US are hot right now.

        I’m sorry too that you had to flee and go through your savings (which probably took lot time to even do) and start over in other country. I am trying to find work here in the states and having a hard time so I can’t imagine what your going through. I hope it works out for both of us. Good luck for both of us.
