I’m sorry to dampen everyone’s day, but I'm sure most people have a some idea of what's going on in the USA—no one here has been talking about it, though, and it has been weighing on me for a while, so forgive me if this feels a little unprofessional.

I've tried to just make fonts, and not war, but I don't view what has been happening as a war—I see it as precursory to a genocide. The building of concentration camps in warehouses, an assembly of "secret" police, even using our own cities as training grounds for military and ICE operations—I'm sure people recognise the patterns; this has happened before.

This isn't just a single genocide, but rather one among a long line or genocides. It runs in tandem with the Palestinian massacre, yet it mimics how Hitler massacred the Jewish peoples, as Hitler mimicked the massacre of the Native American peoples, and even more than the four already mentioned. This cycle needs to stop.

I know I may be late in the game of standing up, or taking a stance, but I've been terrified to even film what has been happening. The violence that I’ve had become known for, including the shootings of Renée Good, Alex Pretti, and more, have felt like a silencing of sorts. 

Don't get me wrong; I've gone to the protests. But there is a sort of safety in numbers—especially Portland's numbers. However, if I was filming a kidnapping, and they were to break my phone, beat me, and detain me, even temporarily—then I would just be another one of the thousands, if not a near million of the people who have already been silenced.

As a (mostly) white guy, I won't be the first person they target. But, if I make myself out to be the enemy, then I will be targeted. Renée Good wasn't even provoking ICE. Still, she was in the way. So she was made not to be. Alex Pretti was trying to help a victim. He was shot in the back with own gun.

They say these are targeted attacks—meant to remove violent, dangerous immagrant criminals—but every day, it feels more and more like they are just killing the people who get in their way.

And so, I am scared.

Scared for myself, my friends, my family, my school, and everyone who has to live in fear because of the presidents' actions.

So, as a teenage boy, I'm pleading, if from the safety that comes with hiding behind an internet alias.

Can we not be silent?
