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.

Will happily delete if wrong, but all the “bad bunny gave his grammy to Liam Ramos” posts really feels like a case of how misinformation spreads in real time - one person says “it looks like him” and another QTs it like “it sure does!” and then it’s a fact.

Another interesting thing to note about the shots is that they seem to have changed my appetite completely, not just how much I can eat but literally what I can eat or *want to eat*.
I was at an amazing restaurant with incredible steaks, and all I wanted was a veggie wrap with vegan cheese.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.
Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

I just realized that when I finish this Assassin's Creed, the next one in line is about PTOLEMAIC EGYPT.

I'm not going to be one of those weirdos who acts like they were hip to the jive all along just to not look like they were out of the loop. I had heard of Bad Bunny but hadn't listened to his stuff. But I'll be remedying that.

Beloveds. I know you mean well. I know we live in an age of stunt and spectacle. I know our hearts are looking for comfort and meaning through the fire and chaos.
So let me hold your hand when I say this:
All Latine children do not look the same. That was not Liam.

Something else I've noticed with the shots is that you have to stay hydrated, HAVE TO, but sometimes even swallowing water can make you feel nauseous or full.
But if you don't, you'll feel like absolute twice fried shit. Like I do right now.

... uh. you do know that the twin cities refers to the broader metro area... right??
when we say they're still in the cities, we're including the metro area. have you even spoken to one of us??

Based on my experience on the ground in multiple cities that I am not emotionally attached to, I do not believe there were ever 3,000 in the Twin Cities, nor do I believe there are 2,000 there now. I assume it’s the field office region, which is much larger.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

They're not murdering white people anymore, so let's go home!
Except it's still deeply fucking dangerous in Minneapolis for immigrants and immigrant supporters, unless you're a trauma tourist.

Anyway, I don’t really like to talk about this because it’s a very emotional and sensitive topic for people, and it’s hard when you’re in the moment. But I promise you the people I have gone city to city with are extremely dedicated to this, and many of us have decided it’s time to go home.

It’s incredibly frustrating to see people spread conspiracies that Epstein survivor Virginia Roberts Giuffre “didn’t really kill herself.” It ignores her allegations of domestic abuse against her husband before she did, actually, die by suicide. It’s a way to minimize how pervasive abuse really is
