Just a general PSA for my English speaking mutuals here: We’ve begun running @recuperandoelaire.boriken.social.ap.brid.gy , a Spanish speaking mask bloc initiative based in Puerto Rico. Most covid cautious materials I know are inaccessible to us due to language. We’re gonna try to bridge that gap.

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.
