I've refrained from posting about the Israel/Hamas war because I know I’m out of my depth on that but I'm seeing so many Jews talk about how terrified they are right now and I just want to say, I get it.
I'm a Black woman in a red state.

I know what it's like to look around and realize that you are surrounded by people - including friends, neighbors, and coworkers - who would happily kill you and everyone like you.
I remember watching white friends happily vote for Trump and celebrate his election.

(If you have pets you understand) just blithely voted for my suffering and extermination is something that I won't ever forget
I’m not trying to compare 2016 to current events. I’m just saying that I see the fear, pain, and betrayal so many Jewish people are struggling with now and I get it.
