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.

When Texas lawmakers tried to visit 33-year-old “political prisoner” Leqaa Kordia at an ICE facility, she’d already lost 50 pounds and was running a high fever.
By Friday, she was hospitalized. But her family still has not been able to locate her.

Hey remember that time like 2 weeks ago that an Indivisible chapter tone scolded immigrants and immigrant activists for calling these places concentration camps, saying that calling them that could cause immigrants to lose allies.

Cmon now guys. If any Dem says anything besides shut down until this is all gone then there's no need for federal government at all. These are concentration camps. If you're too scared to say so then you're part of the problem.
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:
- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown
This is unprecedented.

He was scheduled for surgery this morning, but our family vet found his red blood cell count had dropped. They told us if he bleeds during surgery there, he could die on the table because they don’t have blood products.

My brother sent a photo of my entire family out for a birthday dinner, which I honestly don't remember them ever doing when I was living there, and my ma looks very old and very frail.
It used to upset me seeing her get older.
Now I feel nothing.

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.
