Look, we all understand conceptually that rape is bad. Doesn’t mean we understand boundaries, enthusiastic vs revoked consent, or some of the more subtle forms of predatory behavior.
Like, we all understand that Edward Cullen popping into Bella’s bedroom to watch her sleep is creepy as hell, but we don’t understand how Ross Gellar’s entitlement and subtle manipulations are also quite predatory.

It would have been my responsibility to prepare the information and hand them off to ICE.

I refuse to aid in the breaking up of families. I refuse to just “follow orders.”

This isn’t an easy decision as it puts me in a delicate financial position.
I’ve got a toddler, an underemployed wife in grad school & two cats.

There’s about $900 in my checking account.
