The American Dream is amazing: within just a few years you can go from being the child of Cuban immigrants to the great-grandson of Spanish settlers.

OBVIOUSLY, I am thrilled about the Guardians tying up the series. But the best part, I think, is Marlins Man having to witness it.

The Bulwark Community Stands With Springfield
Over the past year, we’ve been telling you about what is happening to Springfield’s Haitian community, and about the extraordinary people there who have stepped up to help their friends and neighbors through an incredibly difficult time. Now we’re asking the Bulwark community to step up with them. We’re raising money for the Haitian Support Center, which is on the ground in Springfield helping families with food, transportation, legal assistance, and other basic needs.

The DHS Secretary is riffing on the “great replacement theory” - a white nationalist conspiracy theory that holds the elites (or other conspirators - in this case, “socialists”) are set on changing society through immigration and illegal voting. The GRT is everywhere on the American right now.
