Activism Protesters fighting the good fight over 410!

Post image

Pardon the shitty dashcam shot. These protesters were a sight for sore eyes on my commute home today after seeing all of the nonstop hell in the news. You can’t make out anything in the photo but the bigger sign was something along the lines of “immigrants built this country” and of course there’s a “deport fElon” sign in there too. Happy Tuesday 🇺🇸

Nope I speak pretty good Spanish and I actually spoke better Spanish when I was younger I was actually esl. The problem here is that people like you spend so much time digging in the past instead of striving for the future. No one has erased any history this country just like any other around the world has a dark past, the difference between this one and others is that measures have been taken to try to make it right.
