So many Latin Americans in the U.S. today owe a great deal of debt to Black activists. My family was only able to come to this country because of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which was only possible due to the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

50 Cent now needs to do a docuseries on Jeffrey Epstein. Like Diddy, you know Epstein didn’t pay his videographers.

"One of the most staggering things is that the Roberts Court has ruled for President Trump 90 percent of the time in shadow docket cases. Lower courts keep restraining the president but the Supreme Court is repeatedly saying that the president and his party are above the law"

Pete Hegseth pretends to be a rebel without a crew but is really a war criminal without a war.

Sabrina Carpenter out here showing Sydney Sweeney how’s it’s done.

The Sackler family did more to ignite the Fentanyl crisis than Venezuela yet the President is not going after them.

If MAGA would just replace “illegals” with “billionaires,” they’d be able to crack the code.

Who else is ready to bring up politics at Thanksgiving just to save money at Christmas?

How fragmented is our media right now? We’re watching the Selena documentary. MAGA is watching the Yolanda documentary.

People are surprised that Univision is collaborating with ICE and DHS to run anti-immigrants ads in Spanish. Don’t forget that the owners of that network are white and privileged before they are Mexican.

The new Mayor of New York was raised on a healthy dose of Jane The Virgin.

People who hate Obamacare but love the Affordable Care Act are like people who hate lip balm but love Chapstick.

The Constitution is not self-enforcing. The only thing holding our Republic together are our norms. And the only thing that enforces those norms is The People. No one is coming to save us. It's entirely up to us.

I wonder how U.S. farmers are feeling about their Trump vote after he said he prefers his beef and soy beans with chimichurri.

There were 160,000 jobs in Hollywood in 2022. Today, we have fallen below 95,000 jobs. We’re about to lose one of the greatest American exports of all time.

Lies spread six times faster when laced with fear, anger, and hate. Algorithms aren’t designed to tell us fact from fiction. They’re designed to maximize user engagement and platform activity, even at the cost of tearing our country apart.

Young Republicans sound like Hitler Youth. And that’s only one published group chat.

Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of reddit, said the platform would not exist if ICE had been around to kidnap his formerly undocumented mother.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I benefited from the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which was only possible because of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. That means that I, along with a lot of immigrants and children of immigrants, benefited from Black activists.

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

Perfect

Why were evacuation orders to west Altadena (historically Black, emerging Latino, all working class) so delayed as the Eaton Fire ravaged our community, and who was responsible? Well, LA County just spent $2M on a report that said nobody in LA County was responsible. I call bullshit.

Bad Bunny is a U.S. citizen. Where was this outrage when Coldplay and Phil Collins played the Super Bowl halftime show?

DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE.

The launch of my first book feels like just yesterday. Gayle King gifted me a box of Vicks VapoRub before this interview (if you read the book, you know what that means to me).

Why would Elon Musk blame the Charlie Kirk killing on the “radical left?” Because he knows he and the other tech billionaires share some of the blame. They have connected engagement with enragement in all our algorithms and bought off the government to have zero regulation against their actions.

Once you learn that someone preaching the word of Christ is a white supremacist, you have to take a good look in the mirror, and decide what kind of Christian you want to be.

Pro tip to Laura Loomer who deleted this: The Internet is written in indelible ink.

Fox News is just forging ahead tonight as though a card-carrying Democrat gunned down Charlie Kirk. The narrative is impervious to facts.

Racism wins with this Supreme Court...again.

Latino men would rather join ICE than go to therapy.

Snoop Dog, being scared of a same sex couple in an animated movie, is not very gangster.

Cal Poly Pomona invited ICE on campus as a potential employer for their career fair, but the students, faculty, and community said hell nah. The college has postponed the event, realizing that terrorizing hardworking immigrant communities is not be a career.

Why are our tios and tias leaning right politically? A 2021 study found that 70% of misinformation in English on Facebook was flagged, versus only 30% of misinformation in Spanish being flagged. Today, nothing is being flagged.

If white supremacy and Christian nationalism survive in the future, it will be because of self-hating Latinos.

And this is why you should always support your local bookstores.

Latino films are underrepresented in the National Film Registry at the Library of Congress. Help uplift Latino stories and nominate your favorite Latino film. Visit castro.house.gov/film to submit your selection. NEW DEADLINE: August 11th!

Republicans are in a bind after Trump leaves because “MAGA minus the pedophilia” is not a great campaign slogan.

A superhero movie based on mid century modern aesthetic?? You couldn’t have talked dirtier to me.

Trump is going after Beyonce?? Oh that man is on the Epstein list multiple times.

We as a nation have to grapple with the fact that we love to see Pedro Pascal have to choose between saving his child or saving the world.

Wednesday is with us again, so grab your family and friends and drag them out to buy a book! - Michael

Superman is such an immigrant story that I wrote about it in my memoir about growing up undocumented in America. Never forget that Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster (the creators of Superman) were children of immigrants.

Catholic dioceses are now telling immigrants they can skip Sunday mass from fear of ICE raids. Does God still bless America if our churches are empty?

So Elon Musk is told his own AI (Grok) said right wing extremesism is more violent and dangerous than left wing extremism, he gets mad and says he’s going to fix it, and now they have to turn it off because his AI is referring to itself as Hitler.

As people freak out about James Gunn saying Superman is an immigrant story, please don’t forget Lilo & Stich is a refugee taken in by an Indeginous community story.

Ivana Trump was not a citizen when she had the three Trump children, so by their own definition, they’re all anchor babies.
