The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

TRUMP'S DANGEROUS
FREEZE OF AIR
TRAFFIC CONTROL
HIRING
Washington, D.C. โ€” Today, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Rick Larsen (D-WA) and Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Aviation Steve Cohen (D-TN) released the following statements after President Trump froze the hiring of Air Traffic Controllers, among other safety-critical positions.
"The bipartisan FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 directs the Administration to hire the maximum number of air traffic controllers. That's what the law says, so the Administration must rescind this ridiculous executive order," Ranking Member Larsen said. "Hiring air traffic controllers is the number one safety issue according to the entire aviation industry. Instead of working to improve aviation safety and lower costs for hardworking American families, the Administration is choosing to spread bogus DEl claims to justify this decision. I'm not surprised by the President's dangerous and divisive actions, but the Administration must reverse course. Let's get back to aviation safety and allow the FAA to do its job protecting the flying public."
"Our top priority must be the safety of the flying public so an order freezing the hiring of air traffic controllers is a misguided decision and goes against the directives of our
FAA Reauthorization bill," Ranking Member Cohen said. "The aviation community will speak with one voice in condemning this short-sighted policy and reaffirm our

the first fatal commercial plane crash in 16 years happened just days after Trump froze hiring of air traffic controllers that were already stretched thin

Maybe watching a live and online genocide was so overwhelming I donโ€™t feel that overwhelmed right now. The storm blowing over Gaza has simply turned around and we Americans are feeling the blowback. Racism, colonialism, capitalism, patriarchy, and transphobia are all part of the same storm system.

A thread on what you can do. You might not know how best to use what resources you have acces to in order to help those undocumented right now, thatโ€™s ok. Start THERE, you DO have resources that go a LONG WAY at your fingertips. get to know them. Hereโ€™s a few

What you can do to help right now: look up 287(g) ASAP to see if your local law enforcement has a contract with ICE. There is usually no expiration date on such contracts, which means they can be cancelled at any time with enough pressure from the local community.
