Immigration is not a
crime. Desperation is not a
Crime. Survival is not a crime.

You may never
know the choices they
were forced to make.
You may never
know their pain.

To my immigrant
Community:
Your strength runs
in my blood.
Your courage built
my future. Your story deserves
to be heard.

My heart is hurting watching families get torn apart. No one deserves to live in fear of simply trying to survive. 💜

I am living the life my parents only dreamed of

They worked multiple
jobs. Faced fear, uncertainty,
and sacrifice. Left everything they
knew behind.

I am not here because of luck. I am here because of
sacrifice.

As families face raids,
deportations, and
separation,
I cannot stay silent.

I am here because of my parents’ sacrifice—coming to this country with hope, working multiple jobs so we could have a future. As ICE raids tear families apart, I cannot stay silent. YES, IT'S PERSONAL. I exist because my parents endured and fought for something better.

Amid political uncertainty, I plant a vegetable garden—roots deep in resistance, leaves reaching toward hope. Bartering veggies with community, we grow more than food—we grow care, connection, and possibility. ✨

Missing her deeply. She has always been my inspiration, her gentleness, her empathy, & her just way of being. The kindness she carried was powerful, rooted in love for the land & all its plants. Her strength was quiet but undeniable, blooming in every act of care & connection.

9. 🌱🌍 The U.S. food industry is a global force, but mass deportations would shatter farms, disrupt supply chains, and leave the world struggling to eat. Immigrant labor isn’t just essential—it’s a lifeline for us all. #ImmigrantsAreEssential #GlobalFoodSecurity

8.🥬🌾 The U.S. is a global leader in food production, but mass deportations would devastate farms, disrupt exports, and leave millions without food. Immigrant workers are the heart of this industry. #NoFoodWithoutWorkers #ImmigrantsFeedTheWorld

7. 🌍🍴 The U.S. food industry feeds billions globally, but mass deportations would destroy farms, disrupt trade, and threaten food security everywhere. Immigrant labor is the foundation of this system—let’s protect it. #ImmigrantsAreEssential #GlobalFoodSecurity

6. 🍅🚜 From U.S. farms to global tables, immigrant workers keep the food industry alive. Mass deportations would devastate production, disrupt supply chains, and leave the world hungry. This is about more than borders—it’s about survival. #NoFoodWithoutWorkers #ImmigrantsFeedUs

5. 🥕🍲 The U.S. grows food that feeds the world, but mass deportations would devastate farms and disrupt global trade. Immigrant workers plant, harvest, and process the food we all rely on.

4. 🍇🌍 Our food system is a global network built by immigrant hands. Mass deportations would break supply chains, spike prices, and leave families everywhere struggling to eat. This isn’t just a U.S. issue—it’s a global one. #FoodIsCommunity #ImmigrantsAreEssential

3. 🌱🍴 The U.S. food industry feeds not just America but the world. Mass deportations would shatter farms, disrupt exports, and leave millions hungry. Immigrant labor is the backbone of our food supply—let’s protect it. #ImmigrantsFeedUs #GlobalFoodSecurity

2. 🚜🌾 From U.S. fields to global markets, immigrant workers keep our food system running. Mass deportations would devastate farms here, ripple across borders, and threaten food security worldwide. This is a global crisis in the making. #NoFoodWithoutWorkers #ImmigrantsAreEssential

1. 🌍🍅 The U.S. food industry is a global lifeline, feeding millions here and abroad. Mass deportations would cripple farms, disrupt supply chains, and leave shelves empty. Immigrant labor isn’t just essential—it’s irreplaceable. #FoodIsLife

Exclusive: Federal workers have filed an emergency motion requesting a restraining order to disconnect the DOGE server that's being used to conduct Trump's "deferred resignation program." The workers had previously accused DOGE of illegally bypassing a mandated privacy audit.

By me at @wired.com:

Federal Workers Sue to Disconnect DOGE Server

Two federal workers, citing reports that Elon Musk’s associates are operating an illegally connected email server at OPM, seek a restraining order.

So to anyone who’s been made to feel like you don’t belong: your journey is valid. Your hard work is real. And your success? It’s yours to own. Don’t let anyone diminish what you’ve overcome to get here. You’re not just a seat at the table—you’re rewriting the whole damn menu.

Cecilia 🦋💜 @ceciliasaavedra.bsky.social · Feb 2

We are the first in our families to break these ceilings. We built our success without the safety nets of generational wealth or privilege. Every step forward was fought for, not handed to us.

Cecilia 🦋💜 @ceciliasaavedra.bsky.social · Feb 2

They don't see the sacrifices, the nights we doubted ourselves, or the times we had to dig deep to find our own strength because the support systems others take for granted weren't there for Us.

Cecilia 🦋💜 @ceciliasaavedra.bsky.social · Feb 2

They label us "diversity hires," as if our achievements were handed to us, not earned through relentless effort and perseverance. As if we didn’t stay up late studying while balancing jobs, family responsibilities, and systemic barriers.🧵

I cannot stress enough how important private funding will be for underrepresented (UR) scientists for the next 4 years. NSF and NIH fund summer research opportunities for UR undergrad students in STEM, mentoring programs starting in high school, funds for UR PhD students, & more.

📌 The U.S. says it stands for human rights and democracy.
Yet:
❌ Afghanistan: 20-year occupation
❌ Iraq: 1 million dead
❌ Libya: Bombed into chaos
✅ Israel commits genocide? Billions in funding.

The U.S. isn’t a peacekeeper—it’s an empire.
