Hundreds of people stigmatically gathered minutes after the Alex Pretti murder by Trump's regime forces. The regime labeled them rioters and moved against the crowd; since then, hundreds more have joined. Protests are also breaking out across the U.S., with palpable anger in the air. #3E

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

She is aggressively trying to turn the wheel AWAY from the ICE agent. It is her very last action. They provoke her, surround her, then kill her in cold blood. I have barely slept since this happened and I don't think I'll ever stop being angry about this.
i have watched the shooter's video. it's going to make you way the fuck madder.
I have watched the video. I think you probably do not need to watch the video. it shows what you think it's gonna show in terms of lack of justification.

Mexico confirms president Claudia Sheinbaum has held talks with Brazil’s Lula and Colombia’s Petro to discuss solidarity in defence of each other’s sovereignty. Unconfirmed if increased military collaboration or intelligence sharing is on the table. Mexico also confirms it will provide oil to Cuba.

A lot of you know Charlie Kirk as just some podcaster rage bait idiot, which he was, but he was also essential to the GOP / MAGA platform, the Turning Point USA is used to indoctrinate teens and young people and it also served as an influence network linked to troll farms and influence operations.

Posted some VERY anti-CK things yesterday, & my hubbys brother got upset at him. When he told him to talk to me, he refused perpetually & began to insult leftists. BIL NEVER talked about school shootings/palestine/MY COMMUNITY & ICE! Don't take the moral high ground when you've never been on it.

So many of my husband's family members are pro-Geert Wilders, it's absolutely sickening. I saw them post pro-statements on FB/Insta, and I just posted mine, too. I can't wait for the potential fallout. No, literally-- they have no capacity for independent thought in their brains. 🤪👍

There is a great deal of privilege, being Mexican-American, of living in the Netherlands (or rather, moving there)-- especially being there during June, while people I knew protested in LA. It weighs heavily, constantly.

Dutch people's minds would genuinely explode if they ever combined lemon and Tapatio (Or Salsa Valentina, which is more available over there) on herring. OOOF. 🤯

Finding job opportunities in the Netherlands is apparently not for the weak. I am NERVOUS. What skills should I start learning before I live here permanently next summer?

I will leave for the Netherlands on Tuesday and 2 and a half months. This will be an interesting time for me to start getting a feel for how living in the country on a permanent basis will look like.

So, I curiously looked up a few Mexican restaurants in the Netherlands.
What I learned: they claim authenticity but then will put pickles, corn, frittesaus, mushrooms, aubergines in the food.
A moment of silence for my grief.

Con: having to make every good food you've ever known from scratch and having to bring spices from USA because they're more expensive and arent easily accessible in the city where your partner lives in NL. (😭)
Pro: bitterballen, bossche bol, & yeah-- not living in the US.

Tonight, my husband returned home to the Netherlands. I remain in the U.S.. Dealing with goodbyes in long distance relationships is hard. They take so much out of you. And yet, when I am together with him, it feels so worth it. He is worth it. That is why it is so hard to say goodbye for now...
