💥💥
Just weeks ahead of the midterms, an alleged “Operation Safe California" has just launched.
Why California?
Texas and Florida have very high numbers of undocumented immigrants, almost as much as California. Why are they exempt from this purge?
Oh, that's right, they're Red states - Republican led states!

While not formally announced, sources told the Washington Examiner that the California-based operation is an immigration crackdown with the aim to "arrest all illegal immigrants they encounter, regardless of whether an individual has a criminal history."
They are not going after the "worst of the worst." They lied. They never intended to. The "worst of the worst" shoot back. ICE is too cowardly. They go after gardeners, abuelas, roofers, food vendors, fruit pickers, and childcare workers because they are easy pickings! Arresting gang members and violent criminals who are undocumented is very dangerous and would take real law enforcement work.

This is a concentrated effort to create fear within our communities—especially when naturalized citizens, birthright citizens, and people of color may be targets of arrests and detainment, simply because of the color of their skin. Imagine how many "legal" immigrants and even citizens will be subjected to harassment, assaults, arrests, and incarceration! It is right out of the authoritarian dictator playbook.

Stay aware, know your rights, and don't let this deter you from making your voice heard at the ballot box.

98% of Californians aren’t subject to these rates. Prop 3 maintains existing tax rates on the wealthiest 2% to help protect funding for California’s schools and health care.

To all our white allies, partners, comrades, sisters and brothers in the struggle -
We truly appreciate you. We know you stand with us. Your comradeship is invaluable. Side by side, we will overcome. Gladly, we share a foxhole with you.

During these times when Brown and Black people, and other marginalized groups, are under attack by this racist regime, lines are drawn and everyone is pushed to pick a side, some extremely so. And you have chosen to stand, shoulder to shoulder, with us, many of you at a personal and financial cost.
We see you. Gracias.

My defense of my people will entail critique of racist white people. I'm referring to white people who are racist, not my white allies. Uplifting my people, rather, defense of our culture, does not mean I am criticizing all white people or judging them as all the same. Again, my criticisms and strong words are for racist white people, but not just them - all racists.

The one benefit received from the rise of trumpism is that now we truly know who stands with us and who stands against us. The hoods have come off. They have revealed themselves.
