All we can do is our best to not be a casualty. I'm going to be 100% honest here. This week has been one of the toughest weeks of my life and the absolute lowest and most helpless I have ever felt. It seemed like at every corner there was a reminder of my status and the danger I was in and this whole roundup business is adding anxiety on a mountain of already existing anxiety and there is only so much a person can take.
The only thing that keeps me going is the Martin Luther King quote: "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." which of course doesn't always take a straight line.
