The Dehuminizing of America
Dark times coming. The light is now behind us. You and I only wished to leave the children a better place. We wanted a safe passage for our elders and ourselves. We only wanted equality not just for some but for all. Now that is all uncertain. All the fights we have stood for and with are soon to be a moot point.
The new Fuhrer will be in charge now, so will his racist cabinet. His rabid supporters have been unleashed. No minority is safe now.
Women will get off easy, we will not be shot down in the street, well if we are white anyway. We will just lose our medical care and our right to chose. Our bodies will not be ourselves. Domestic abuse will rise and go unreported with this abuser entering the WH, he has after all given his seal of approval.
Their will be armies of police hunting down unarmed black men and all PoC. Open season. Muslims will be rounded up. LGBTQ will lose their rights to marriage, visiting rights to their spouse, may be denied care when sick and dying.
VAWA will be null and void, Native Americans will suffer from that as well.
I see two choices here, we either stand up and fight collectively or we just dig a mass grave, jump in and bring along the gasoline and matches. Me, I prefer to fight.
We have to figure this out, we need a plan. Our voices need to be heard. I am starting with the march on Washington. I will be attending the one in Boston. I don't have the funds for DC.
Stronger Together!

Dehumanization or an act thereof can describe a behavior or process that undermines individuality of and in others. Behaviorally, dehumanization describes a disposition towards others that debases the others' individuality as either an "individual" species or an "individual" object, e.g. someone who acts inhumanely towards humans. As a process, it may be understood as the opposite of personification, a figure of speech in which inanimate objects or abstractions are endowed with human qualities; dehumanization then is the disendowment of these same qualities or a reduction to abstraction. e.g. Technology revolutions cause the dehumanization of labor markets to the point of antiquation.
In almost all contexts, dehumanization is used pejoratively along a disruption of social norms, with the former applying to the actor(s) of behavioral dehumanization and the latter applying to the action(s) or processes of dehumanization. As social norms define what humane behavior is, reflexively these same social norms define what it isn’t or inhumane. Dehumanization differs from inhumane behaviors or processes in its breadth to include the emergence of new competing social norms. This emergence then is the action of dehumanization until the old norms lose out to the competing new norms, which will then redefine the action of dehumanization. If the new norms lose acceptance then the action remains one of dehumanization and its severity is comparative to past examples throughout history. However, dehumanization's definition remains in a reflexive state of a type-token ambiguity relative to both scales individual and societal.
Biologically, dehumanization can be describe as an introduced species marginalizing the human species or an introduced person/process that debases other persons inhumanely.
In political science and jurisprudence, the act of dehumanization is the inferential alienation of human rights or denaturalization of natural rights, a definition contingent upon presiding international law rather than social norms limited by human geography. In this context, specialty within species need not apply to constitute global citizenship or its inalienable rights; these both are inherit by human genome.
