🧵 1/3 ¡Hola, amigos! Rose, here.
I’m Chicana, Mexican-American, Indigenous, Native American—all of it, all the time. I’ll use whichever tag I want, whenever I want because identity is complex, and so am I.

And there is SO much silence from many. This cannot be the way our democracy dies.
Openly ignoring and defying the Judiciary.
Breaking his oath to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States.
Granting himself unchecked power.
This is authoritarianism.

#legalsky I want to know if a class action is possible for the below and the access to our SSNs and personal data?
So with DOGE [sic] head Elon Musk shutting down Xitter accounts that discuss the boys Elon has installed at DOGE [sic], followed by threats from Acting US Attorney Ed Martin to prosecute them, have we gotten to the time to file a 1A suit?

Healthcare for all that is not tied to a person's employment, business, etc. Universal.
If you are a small to med size business, would you rather buy health insurance from the big insurance companies, or from a new Non Profit Healthcare program offered by the biggest Unions ?

Silence is a luxury for those who aren't forced to defend their existence. The rest of us speak because the truth makes the comfortable squirm, not because it's wrong—but because it exposes what they refuse to confront.

They want us to be desperate and afraid. Don't fall for it! It is not going to be easy. But we will make it through. We are not quivering to the psychopaths in charge. Stay the course. Remember who you are. Invoke your ancestors. Know who is safe in your community.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.
So, I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

Not all of us have the luxury of staying silent. Yes, some of our own voted against our interest. But I'll be damned if I shrivel up instead of fighting for democracy of all, even those who are comfortably able to ignore the atrocities being committed.

The last few days feel like we've been going through hell. Stay the course. They want to exhaust and scare us. Do not give them the satisfaction. Remember who you are. Reach out to safe members in your communities for help. But do not relent.

Our dollar is about to get devalued. But the f*cking eggs!!!
Was trying to remember why I had mentally bookmarked him and it was because last summer Colombian tabloids spread a rumor he was having an affair with Linda Yepes, a transgender newscaster. Not only did he refuse to deny it but decried transphobia as akin to Nazism

We do most of our shopping at Costco as well. Proud of them!
I’m buying my groceries exclusively from Costco now, by the way. I might end up with more food than I need, but my values aren’t compromised.

I'm getting back to my roots of growing up on a cattle ranch in Mexico. I just ordered quite a few nonperishables and am starting my gardening early this year. #SurvivalModeActivated And I wonder why my creative tank is low. 😆 #booksky #writingcommunity #skywriter #romancelandia
