Seriously. It's like the old lady that scoffed at the Latino inspired fantasy language question at your talk at SIWC. Leave your prejudices in your imagination and don't be a jerk

As a Hispanic, I appreciate the nod to our people I wish Democrats would #abolishICE as a true measure of providing us with dignity and safety.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, solidarity reaches across the Atlantic. From Spain, I stand with every community targeted by ICE—from Mexico and Central America to South America. Their cultures, strength & humanity enrich us all. We must condemn injustice and celebrate these vibrant voices everywhere!

🚨 Hispanic Heritage Month starts today Sept 15 (yes, mid-month, we'll explain). Through Oct 15 we're celebrating 60M+ people, 20+ countries, every race and language under the sun — the history, the heroes, the food. One thing up front: racism is not welcome here. Let's go. ✊
