bombshell

I am cozied up on my new sofa, in my new apartment watching love island.

a hot new bombshell just entered the villa!

her stomach is flat, her teeth cut from freshwater pearls, her thighs have that desirable gap.

as I fall into a bottomless pit of self loathing, picking myself apart

wondering if anyone would find me "fit" on the show

another bombshell just dropped

families are being ripped apart

forcibly separated by ICE

by the trump administration

to their own island

Alligator Alcatraz

exactly what it sounds like.

Spanish speaking children are representing themselves in immigration court

detainees sleeping are in bunkers, going weeks without essential medications

agents are infiltrating public school grounds, interrogating students about their citizenship

a local, family-owned diner is receiving threats on their answering machine: ICE knows about you. They're coming to get you.

A family running late to their daughter's college graduation

her father went to pull the car around

so his parents, his wife, his kids, could wait comfortably

was thrown to the ground and shoved in a van

currently sitting in a detention center.

No, sorry.

Let's call it what it is.

A Concentration Camp.

American Citizens.

Citizens.

People.

Humans.

But, of course,

"Tana Mongeau hates Brooke Schofield"

"Huda is crashing out"

"Benson Boone has a Crumbl cookie"

"I didn't get the sea salt Labubu"

Open your fucking eyes

This shit is embarrassing.

Your privilege (and mine) will be the downfall of this great country.

Your comfort is putting others in danger.

Say something.

Talk about it.

Have difficult conversations.
