An absurd amount of people started following me so let's lay down some ground rules:
Not gay as in happy but queer as in fuck you.
No one is illegal on stolen land.
Trans rights forever.
I will judge you based on how you talk about homeless people.
Abolish prisons and ICE
Free Palestine

Please stop praising Marjorie Taylor Green for having 1 or 2 correct opinions. She is a grifter first and will go wherever the money goes.

She's also had a history of antisemitism so it's not exactly a comfort to see her speaking out against Israel. Like she's just taking a page from David Duke

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

If the lady from last night wants to apologize with sushi I would accept that 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lorreina @lorreina.bsky.social · 1d

Good morning to everyone except the lady who almost bumped me with her car because she thought a California Roll was sufficient for the red light on Cesar Chavez.

Please be mindful that people DO use the crosswalk and I hope to never touch the hood of your SUV ever again

I mean potentially??

I think those who have that opinion will do such with anything that they view as evidence.

I think it's important to use the current delays as an opportunity to engage with people about the concept of "diversity of tactics" and other forms of organizing

Lorreina @lorreina.bsky.social · 2d

Yea..... ultimately it's *good* to not have the national guard being used for violence but at this time, we don't really have an effective way of stopping ICE without Keith Wilson taking notes from Chicago on delays and a lot of people getting real comfortable with confrontation

Like a true Latina, I have a very strong belief that food covers a multitude of sins. And I will default to feeding people if something bad is happening to them.

Will it solve anything? Probably not but God damnit you can't solve The Problem ™ on an empty stomach

Lorreina @lorreina.bsky.social · 2d

If only it didn't come with concern of more death threats 😭😭😭

Lorreina @lorreina.bsky.social · 2d

I think it depends on what one believes the end goal is?

If your goal is to show the absurdity of the claims and reject the propaganda of "Portland sux" then it's very effective.

If your goal is to stop people from being detained and deported, well...that's not looking too hot

Lorreina @lorreina.bsky.social · 2d

Is your fan still going??? Or is it off at least?

Lorreina @lorreina.bsky.social · 2d

I'm glad she's advocating for Portland now but really annoyed at the apparent lack of understanding that this is a byproduct of her prior votes

Lorreina @lorreina.bsky.social · 2d

We got Mitch Green and Angelita Morillo on CNN
Candace Avalos on Telemundo
Angelita Morillo was also on MSNBC

Our city Councilors are covering the bases.

Real talk if Zimmerman goes onto Fox News and advocates for Portland I will have so much respect but my hopes are slim

A Mexican non binary frog 🐸 that's amazing. I've never felt so seen

Lorreina @lorreina.bsky.social · 4d

We need to bring back some old architecture styles because my girlfriend lives in a small house that's so cute and so old

No shade to my home but God the details in her house are 🤌🏽✨✨✨

They were blessed prior to injection

As an exvangelical, I can confirm this is not the silliest thing I've seen people pray over

Lorreina @lorreina.bsky.social · 4d

I am SEETHING with envy at this moment

Not me immediately scrambling to YouTube in order to watch as my practice Spanish for the day

Lorreina @lorreina.bsky.social · 5d

You're not letting them set the rules of the game and it pisses them off so much

Lorreina @lorreina.bsky.social · 5d

Sexually frustrated men are so dangerous, especially in politics and especially when they're talking to/about someone they disagree with

Lorreina @lorreina.bsky.social · 5d

All this to say, I'm trying to decide if dual citizenship is worth talking to my paternal family. Things are getting weird and I have no plans to leave but I sure do hope I can have a safety net if shit gets real

Lorreina @lorreina.bsky.social · 5d

This is such an effective way to describe it.

Lorreina @lorreina.bsky.social · 5d

Sometimes being Mexican means being 5th generation on one side and being 2nd generation on another.

The stuff gets spicy when your mom has bad taste in men so you're bio dad sucks

Lorreina @lorreina.bsky.social · 5d

That response is so absurd I was really hoping for a Poe's Law moment 😭😭😭

You fucking live here, how are you the one whose not a free thinker??
