Poll: If you’re going to a red state and a naturalized brown citizen, do you take your naturalization certificate?

There are days when people ask if I'm leaving. Hmm... well let me just say this, I went through so much to become a US Citizen, to marry a woman I love, and to adopt my children. I busted my ass to build a life here. I'm not going to leave, i'm going to fight to give people the same life.

Mentally tired this Monday. It's just hard to look at the news and get back up.

I'm going to watch a show about a serial killer killing young females, because that is more hopeful right now than reality.

You should be more worried about Billionaires coming for your job than immigrants.

If black people are boycotting you, I will too. Still boycotting in solidarity. #targetboycott

Vance Boelter’s hit list included at least five current and past staffers at Planned Parenthood. If you work for a nonprofit that does any work helping those that are vulnerable to MAGA, I implore you to protect your data online (sign up for a scrubbing service), MFA your accounts, and get cameras.

Watch it. We know I'll criticize Newsom, but this is truth.
WATCH: California Gov. Newsom says 'democracy is under assault' by Trump as soldiers deployed in LA

So we’re now deploying Marines to LA. Yep. We’re at that stage.

Any Democrat in the Congress, Senate (especially
@schiff.senate.gov ), or wants to run for POTUS should be standing with this guy. Be there on the front lines and help protect our communities by standing up to fascism. These were peaceful protest until Trump escalated it.
🔥 “You’re on the wrong side of history. You should be standing here with us… you took an oath to the constitution, not the fascists in the White House— he’s laughing at you… You’re tough behind your masks & fatigues, but how do you feel on the inside?” 🇺🇸

The last few days sure are popping off my underlying anxiety. Feeling for my fellow immigrants. Legal, naturalized, and otherwise. I stand with you.

Newsom is really showing his true colors lately. His test will keep the most vulnerable a breath away from ruin. This is not what I want or what I voted for.

They're also wanting to create an "Office of Remigration". Remigration, which calls for mass deportation of primarily non-whites. No migrant, immigrant, or person of color is safe. Trump said he would do this, and people voted for this shit.

Every new employee at one of companies should also be asked how they feel about him killing all those people, and how they feel about him doing it to make 187 Billion. Current employees, I know you gotta pay bills, but I encourage you to get out.
Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

Most living creatures are addicted to wanting to live.
You can’t be “addicted” to a human right.

This must be a generational thing, but I don’t understand why people have a phone conversation on speaker when in a public space. Do you want me all up in your business?
May 29, 2025 at 6:34 PM
Newsom is selling out Trans kids to court a run for President. This is terrible, and they’re not the values I support. I will not sellout kids for being brave enough to be themselves. Fuck off Newsom.
Just to clarify: This is not (yet) a total state ban. But a limited ban is still a sports ban.

Given the logic being used by CIF, Newsom's support, and the creation of a third category for trans people under a pilot policy, you can expect this one to expand.

This needs major pushback now.

Something I've been saying since Trump 1.0. Migrants are just the new "product" in the private prison business. Gutting education, pushing for tougher sentencing, criminalizing houseless-ness, increasing unemployment and cost of goods; it's all to increase "product" and profits for private prisons.
