IMHO, menos yard signs que digan ~immigrants welcome here~ y más trabajo real para proteger estatus legal (TPS, DACA) + a path to citizenship para quienes llevan décadas pagando impuestos y contribuyendo tanto en este país.

Keith MThe Haitians have been through so much suffering. For decades they have been hit with so much hell on earth. My heart goes out to them. Our country used to be better than this. Not anymore.

My son worked with a Haitian woman he adored. She went back to Haiti a few months ago for fear of ICE and being certain this was the path the US would take. She was hard working, kind,& intuitive. She returned to danger & poverty because, as she said, “It was the evil she knew. The US was scarier”

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS & we can still stop it. Please call your Senator NOW & ask that they sign onto S.4814 & extend TPS for Haitians for 3 years. This will be a catastrophe for our neighbors who have been here legally!! Here's the call script! drive.google.com/file/d/1XXEs...
S. 4814 Script .PNGdrive.google.comHeba Gowayed هبة جويدMy Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.

This is heartbreaking. We need to make Reconstruction look like a slap on the wrist after all of this is over. This person also works in healthcare which is horribly understaffed.

I spoke to a Yemeni queer man held in ICE detention for 3 years under BIDEN. Denied care while he was having seizures. ICE wasn't invented Jan 2017 or 2025. Trump is awful. AWFUL. But this continues if you DON'T STOP TREATING HUMAN LIFE like a fucking football game between blue and red shirts.
If you didn't vote Dem, you voted for this.If you didn't vote for Harris, you helped this happen. Live with that and make better choices in the future.

Haitian man fired because a person stepped into *help* and shot off her mouth. Americans, STFU! You don't even *know* anyone's real immigration status. The laws are incredibly complex. Many times when people go to court, they're freed. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT ABOUT PEOPLE'S IMMIGRATION STATUS! MYOB!
Heba Gowayed هبة جويدJust got off the phone with him. An older woman in the building he works at tipped off his employer by "advocating" for him calling his company to say how good of a worker he is & how TPS is ending but they shouldn't fire him 🙃.
