Let's be clear, very few people really know what Bad Bunny be singing/rapping about even if they do speak Spanish.

Making my fall plans: Is it illegal to get a flu shot yet?

A powerful tool in Trump’s immigration crackdown: The routine traffic stop ICE is working with local police to arrest more undocumented immigrants at traffic stops. In a break with the past, many arrestees have no violent criminal record.

Agents in unmarked clothing took Chelsea's husband at a traffic stop and deported him.

Tomorrow, we're joining @tnimmigrant.bsky.social to support Chelsea as she testifies before Congress about the impact of Trump's deportation machine on her family.

For the first time, Presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo of Mexico addresses hundreds of thousands in Mexico City's central square, El Zocolo, to deliver the traditional "Grito de Independencia," the shout (or proclamation) of freedom at midnight on Mexico's independence day.

What would Trump give to have a crowd of adoring country men and women attending to his every word and being happy to see him? And this was a woman. A Latin American woman showing him up. Ouchie. That's gotta sting.

ICE agents in the Park Ave neighborhood spark large-scale protest The group shouted “shame” and "Gestapo,” and applauded as agents in the ICE-led action drove a Border Patrol SUV away on four flat tires, which had been slashed.

The National Guard pornstache that all white male soldiers patrolling DC seem to have, is that a white supremacy signal or code?

Trump immigration policies are a massive self-inflicted economic wound.

The economy and jobs have always been fig leafs for the anti-immigration movement, wrapping themselves in false - often literally backwards - economic arguments to persuade otherwise decent people to support the nativist's real agenda, a whiter nation.

Hence the labor supply and commerce reductions we are seeing and the labor demand reductions it intensifies. It’s a downward spiral, as the world decides the US is a less desirable place to work or do business or invest in. The demand for legal immigration by immigrants is falling.

In reality, Trump and Co. are revoking the legal status of people who have been fully documented and have (until Trump changed the rules) federal permission to live and work in the US. They're deporting whoever they can lay hands on and severely restricting new arrivals.

Agree. Yet on the immigration side, reporters still mainly focus on "crackdown on undocumented" immigrants, which is both inaccurate and extremely generous to Trump, Miller and the white supremacists.

Which is a false impression. He is changing the law in order to be cruel to children.

"Immigration crackdown" implies Trump is trying to deport children who lack legal status or statutory standing to remain in the US. What is actually happening here is that Trump is stripping children of their status in order to deport them, to pad his numbers.

The combined power of tariffs, eliminating legal immigration and mass deportation means the Trump recession and inflation are both gaining steam.
