Interesting way to normalize the explicit exclusion of non-citizens from the First Amendment.

I just went through U.S. customs and as I stood in line, nervously, I watched the citizenship application advertisement and noticed something weird in its messaging:

“Be free to worship what you wish,”
“Be able to vote In elections,”
“Become a U.S. citizen today.”

Wait rewind.

Omg I just realized I was on my third cocktail last night in the Dominican, posting about “Josh Bryan’s” new anti-ICE anthem.

Please I know his name is Zach, but I went to high school with a Josh Bryan (definitely a Trump Supporter), making that error even more embarrassing.

Christians want to legalize conversion therapy — despite it directly correlating with higher suicide rates — because their religion believes in its moral authority.

Okay, cool. I expect they’ll maintain that standard for Sharia-based punishments, gender segregation and animal sacrifices then.

I’m in the Dominican Republic with my man and I promised I wouldn’t be — what he calls — a live news-ticker while we’re here. I’ve been off my phone for the most part but every time I come on I’m like… thinking we like, just stay here maybe.

What in the escalation???

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

My family’s from Nicaragua. The sight of yesterday’s cruel spectacle (and of course, everything leading up to it) is not a funny vision. It’s too close to home. And precisely what America was supposed to be refuge from.

Russell Vought's sick little power trip will also hurt GOPers. One project he's cutting is the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub, which spans Oregon, Washington, and...Montana. The state's GOP governor has hailed it for creating "good-paying Montana jobs." Oops.

The developer of ICEBlock, Joshua Aaron, addressed the possibility of gvt retaliation on @msnbc.com in July:

“If you push back against them, you have to know they’re going to come after you in some way, and I say, go ahead… The reality is, it’s protected under the 1st Amendment.”
