Marrying into a white family that is not progressive is crazy. 😤
You start dealing with micro aggression, racism, & comments I understand why people are asking if they called ICE to gain full custody. I do not know if that is true.But based on how she speaks about immigrants

Life has a way of softening you… if you let it. Hard chapters like family estrangement, loss, addiction, and starting over can change the way you see others.

You start to realize everyone is carrying something, even if you can’t see it. And in that space, empathy grows.

HE’S NOT USED TO BEING CHALLENGED—AND IT SHOWS.
THE GRIP IS SLIPPING. AND THE WHOLE STATE’S WATCHING.

I spent a few days capturing the voices of Texas Democrats who are standing up, speaking out, and refusing to let power go unchecked.

I spoke with Texas State Rep. @plesafortexas about how this special session—supposed to focus on flood recovery and eliminating STAAR testing—was hijacked to push through rigged congressional maps.

These new maps use AI technology to strategically dilute the power of communities

I spoke with Rep. Linda Garcia (District 107) at the Texas Capitol we talk about what’s really happening in Texas: They’re not just redrawing lines—they’re redrawing who counts.

Donald Trump just launched a youth sports initiative—standing beside Lawrence Taylor, a registered offender who admitted to ab**ing a tr**ficked 16-year-old girl.

And yet he’s the one who labeled Latinos “bad hombres,” “criminals,” and “rapists”?

This is who they uplift.

I spoke with Rep. Jon Rosenthal about the Texas GOP’s latest move to redraw congressional districts—adding five new Republican seats in a blatant power grab.

This redistricting scheme could tip control of the House, silence Latino and Black voters, and make it harder to stop the agenda.

I spoke with with Texas State Rep. Venton Jones to talk about the truth behind the GOP’s redistricting plan—and how it threatens Black, Latino, and other minority communities across our state.

📊 Despite Latinos making up the largest racial/ethnic group in Texas…

Donald Trump and Texas Republicans are trying to rig our democracy—again.
By gerrymandering districts, they’re silencing minority voters and setting up permanent control.

Rep. Gene Wu and I spoke about how this isn’t just politics—it’s a direct attack on representation, fairness, and our future

Lesson 4 of 40 — Learning to Grow With the People Who Raised Us
For my 40th birthday, my dad—a U.S. veteran and immigrant—gifted me a tree.
Not just a gift, but a symbol.
He came to plant it with my nephews—three generations, one quiet moment of healing.

Masked men in the U.S. are chasing, detaining, and brutalizing Latinos—no badge, no accountability—just entitlement and force.

And yet we look at Gaza like it’s a distant tragedy.

But what’s happening in Palestine is connected to what’s happening here.

Surveillance.

Dehumanization.

Occupation

Hunter Biden Calls Out Trump’s Immigration Lies

In a rare interview with Channel 5, Hunter Biden slammed the Trump administration’s immigration policies—calling them dehumanizing, extreme, and based on fear.

This is not okay. This is not justice.

Migrants are being forced to eat on their knees with shackled hands, sleep on cold concrete in overcrowded jails, and urinate in public under surveillance—all while the public is told this is “normal.”

🚨 The truth is out—and it’s horrifying:

“It’s not a big deal.”
That’s how Rep. Troy Nehls (R–Texas) responded when asked about U.S. citizens—being detained in ICE raids.

He laughed it off.
Said it happens to “everyone.”
Called it routine.

But meet George Retes—a disabled U.S. Army veteran, working security when ICE stormed in.

What’s really happening with U.S. deportations to Africa?

The U.S. reportedly asked Nigeria to accept 300 Venezuelan deportees—and Nigeria said NO. 🇳🇬
Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar made it clear: “We’ve got our own problems.”

NYC’s Zoran Mamdani Surges in Polls: Young Latino Voters Demand Bold Leadership

🇺🇸 MAGA Dad Denied Reentry Over Decades-Old Weed Charges
Chris Landry, a Canadian-born father of five, has lived in the U.S. since he was three years old. He holds a green card, built a life in New Hampshire, and supported Trump—until CBP denied him entry.

I would pay a small fee to not be added to a mailing list when I buy something online.

I regret to inform you that I do sometimes judge a book by its cover.

Column | Trump ‘jokes’ that, hey, maybe he could run for president again? The only reason to think that Trump would seek out a path toward a fourth run is his vanity — which is enough of a reason to make it useful to point out the paths.

A week after winning the 2024 election, Trump's already joking-but-hey-what-if about running again in 2028. The Constitution clearly says he can't — but that's how a normal person reads it, not a Supreme Court justice. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Same! Glad to see you here 🫶🏽
