Environmental and social justice advocate. How you treat immigrants, the environment and the least fortunate speaks volumes of who you are. I vote for a livable 🌎 in 🇲🇽🇨🇭🇺🇸. Views all mine.

I have a list of folks who deserve pardons asap by Joe Biden:
1) Leonard Peltier
2) Steven Doziger
3) Every undocumented immigrant in the U.S.
All have faced an unfair system. Prosecuted, scapegoated & vilified by those who don’t care about human rights.

Biden should pardon millions of undocumented immigrants — before Trump gets his hands on them
What a strange time. Americans are embroiled in a heated national conversation about whether the phrase “rule of law” actually means anything as long as there are presidential pardons. …

The DOJ no longer requires temporary immigration judges to have experience in immigration law. The new rule, which went into effect on Thursday, permits any attorney to serve as a temporary immigration judge for a renewable six-month term.
DOJ Says Temporary Immigration Judges No Longer Need Immigration Experience
Under a new Department of Justice rule, the DOJ can choose “any attorney” to serve as a temporary immigration judge.

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM

My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social.

The governing ideology of the far right has become a
monstrous, supremacist survivalism.

It’s overwhelmingly clear that if Trump hadn’t federalized the national guard, Gavin would have gladly suppressed the protests himself in order to back ICE. He was going to send 800 cops to LA!
"It's time for all of us to stand up," California Gov. Gavin Newsom said, urging any protests to be peaceful. "What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence, to be complicit in this moment. Do not give in to him."

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors.

This ain’t about law and order.

This is what authoritarianism looks like.

It is a moral imperative to oppose the MAGA Murder Budget, which steals from the poor to give to the rich and would turbocharge mass abduction of our immigrant neighbors: religionnews.com/2025/06/06/g...
GOP-proposed budget is one big betrayal bill

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year.

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year.

Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

The Assembly Judiciary Committee is hearing the Make Polluters Pay Bill on Tuesday, 4/29/2025. Please call Assembly Member Muratsuchi to ask for his support. This bill will make the world’s biggest fossil fuel polluters pay their fair share for the climate damages they have caused in California.

You've read the stories about Gavin Newsom throwing transgender people under the bus in sports, prisons, and gender affirming care for trans youth.

Now watch the video and listen.

It's as bad as it sounds. He betrayed trans people and threw us under a bus driven by Charlie fucking Kirk.
