Read the whole thread. Everything in it is exactly right. Some types of younger people who ESPECIALLY need a will:

This is my yearly PSA that, no matter how old you are, you should have a basic health directive and will. The forms are free online in California. The number of senior citizens in my neighborhood with no directives and no plan who are already a little off the rails is staggering. A short rant 1/

🦃 This Thanksgiving, I will not be inviting anybody into my home who I know supports the grotesque, anti-American Donald Trump, nor will I accept any invitation to be anyplace where I might find people who do.
🦃 I will not surround myself with sickening people who excuse bigotry and stand for hate.

Everyone believes that if they were confronted with a choice between what is good, and what is good for them, that they would obviously choose what is good. There is precisely no evidence to support this belief.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.
