What about the HHS classifications/work providing a basis for categorization for Federal LE action, ‘rounding up’? Then they wouldn’t be competing, like that, but they both end up contributing. I’ve tried talking to people about this recently and was told off basically. “Don’t believe what you hear.” I think they said. (Started with talking about the statements about ADHD work camps.)
Also, idk if this comes off as risky to discuss publicly given everything, but do you mean having your passport for leaving later or that you already have and keeping it current is important (because obviously). And where are you considering for places to go other than the U.S.?

My personal risk profile doesn’t match this because there is no diagnosis. I think it can represent a real risk for others.
My opinion on this is that I think this is an RFK pet project that he’s shoe horning into DJT’s world view. I don’t think RFK is long for being HHS secretary, because Trump doesn’t like him and they are both guys who cannot share the spotlight.
There is real risk to real people from the Trump admin, but I think we have to temper the assessment of that risk with the political instability and the incompetence of a cartoonish fascist government. They are more effective with ICE and dissident management this time around because they had 4 years to plan, and they had several successful trial balloons between 2016-2020. I think creating pathological or technical criteria for the rounding up is something that is needed for a technocratic fascist positioning very much a Dem party thing (Think: You can’t support Hamas they’re terroristorinos!). Trump has been signaling that he’s literally trying to fuck over those who simply disagree publicly. You do not need pathological criteria to rile up your base for that. Democrat, dissident, and anti-American are labels that can do that job just as effectively.
It’s also not actually about the practical population transfer but imposing control. If they really wanted to get rid of autistic people esp. kids on the cheap they could do it through federal austerity faster/easier than putting us all in camps.
I can be wrong, but I just don’t think RFK’s agenda is going to be durable and mesh with the overall WH goals and this they have 6 of these types of pots on the stove so I’m not betting on RFK being a danger to me.

No I’m not leaving. I was naturalized as a child and the immigration law at the time did not provide children with their own naturalization documents. My proof of citizenship is my old collection of US passports, current passport / passport card. I can pay $5k for the INS to print me a certificate, but lol cmon.
This is my de jure defense of “I’m not fucking going to El Salvador”, my de facto one is I keep that thing on me. My conditions for leaving the country are if it’s not going to be possible for me and my partner to live here from an economic / personal safety POV. We aren’t planning on children so I have it easier than most, and from the outside I can pass as “normal” from a ND/political POV. A lot of this stuff is very much “don’t rock the boat” signal.
I have been at peace with the fact that I could be deported under US law since I was a teenager, so this isn’t really anything new to me. This is just surviving. I’m doing my dailies.
