    If you’re not on a list of people to harass, terrorize, abuse, or possibly deport in the Trump administration, make sure you are are on one of those by signing this public petition! /s

    I’m actually joking, because letting that kind of fear stop us is how they’ve won so far and how they’ll win in the future, unless we stop being afraid of the consequences of living in a corrupt USA and speaking truth to power.

    Just ask Fred Hampton.

      Considering that (insofar as I can tell) literally just a petition and nothing more, your joke actually sounds pretty accurate to me.

      The only way this’ll do good is if a miracle occurs and it becomes ludicrously successful. In any realistic scenario, all it does is make a convenient list of people the new administration won’t like. Well, that and create a treasure trove of profitable data.

      Fear is bad when it stops us from doing useful, helpful things. I don’t think this is one of those things.

      It’s safest to sign. Safety is in numbers. Cowardice leads to the greater danger. And it doesn’t matter if it accomplishes anything.
