Undocumented for 20 years. Cis, she/her. 145 weeks sober. Unite Ireland. Free Palestine. Abolish ICE. Immigrants deserve rights. Republican, not in the American way. If you have to ask, Google it. My President is better than yours.

This time last year, I was crying constantly because I was undocumented and scared.
This year, I just logged into an airline's official website and downloaded my very own digital boarding pass.

Púca's vet appointment is in 4 hours.
My fear is that his swollen lymph nodes are pressing into his trachea and making it harder for him to breathe. If that's the case, I know what she'll suggest even though he's otherwise full of life and happiness.
I'm freaking the fuck out.

Literally nobody should be deported. It is not a policy that makes sense from a law and order† standpoint or a humanitarian standpoint it only makes sense if it's trying to further an agenda of a white ethnostate.

He capitulated to the federal government about our sanctuary policy in exchange for a reduction in ice that still 20 times over baseline

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

Anyways, report @normalisland.co.uk for literally just posting Nazi shit repeatedly
(Goyim means gentile. That’s all it means. Yes it’s often used derogatorily by Jews but not always. And Nazis have a fixation with calling themselves goyim, and especially when Jews say it at all)
