@charliedelavida.com and I are currently in intermission at The Suffs Musical. Not only did we wear sashes for the occasion, but I made us special buttons. #suffsagainstsave #antisaveact

I know I have been silent. I just needed a break. There is so much going on, and I find it hard to keep up. I don't know how professionals do it. Regardless, I had to get back into it and talk about what happened in Chicago this week. Take a look at my latest blog post.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! As a Puerto Rican woman, this years celebration is especially important to me as Spanish people are being kidnapped by masked individuals. And now with SCOTUS' ruling, simply looking Spanish will make you a target. Never forget, diversity is what makes us great.

We throw our Back to Hogwarts event every year and the kids in the school across the street look forward to. Can't wait for this year. There is so much to do.

I must admit, I am crying at the thought of what this bill will do to the country. And within these tears is the fear of what ICE will now be able to get away with due to the additional power the bill gives them. I was barely safe before & now it's only going to get worse. Read my post about it.

Puerto Rico is looking to separate itself from the US, and as a Puerto Rican, I am all for it. Read my latest blog post with my thoughts on the matter. Also, a new store category has been added. Check it out!

In 1917, Congress passed the Jones Act, granting citizenship to Puerto Ricans. All this regime has to do is write one EO to put a bigger target on our backs. And now with SCOTUS' ruling, birthright citizenship to any Puerto Rican born in the states could be stripped. That includes me and my family.

SCOTUS just made a horrifying decision in terms of Planned Parenthood, simply because the GOP can't get their heads out of women's uteruses. This decision will have dire consequences, especially for low-income patients.

Its not easy being a little free library steward, but with this regime, its even more important now that we keep our library in tip top shape. @charliedelavida.com

What the actual fuck!? The only students who would be mensurating are cis-girls and trans-boys. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason that a school band would need to know this information. I don't care what "excuse" they have. This is about control. This is about humiliation. This is about power. Period!

As ICE snatchings escalate even more, a need has arisen to carry papers showing proof of citizenship. This will mostly come in the form of a certified birth certificate. Check out my post to read my thoughts on this matter. #immigrantrights

The so-called "Pro-life" party is deporting a 4-year-old girl who will die without the treatment she is currently receiving. This story is appalling. It is proof that the GOP doesn't care about life. They don't care about children. They care about control. #immigrantrights youtu.be/SsLBPowZ4p0?...

This is disgusting. What this family is going through is uncalled for. The so-called "Pro-life" GOP is forcing this family to keep this poor woman alive. Will they pay the medical bills from this? Will they pay to ensure the baby has a good life? The answer is No. #abortionrights #endthewaronwomen

The regime only cares about itself and its wants. And what they are doing to immigrants in the midst of accepting white South African migrants is proof of their willingness to lift whites up while bringing people of color down. #diversitymakesamericagreat #immigrantrights

This will not end well. ICE is just going to assume that anyone who looks like me who didn't report in as being here illegally, is in fact here illegally. I've said it from day one, it's guilty until they think you're innocent. And being a citizen doesn't help. #immigrantrights

If you thought it would only be the undocumented or criminal immigrants, then you're delusional. They're already trying to eliminate birthright citizenship. They're already trying to get rid of Native Americans. Is this really a stretch. They are just getting started. 1/2 #immigrantrighta

This is BULLSHIT! This now opens the door for them to snatch whomever they want under the guise of "gang member." There are way too many men currently enslaved in El Salvador who aren't gang members. All this administration cares about is that they're gone. And more will follow. #immigrantrights

I wanted to wish everyone good luck at the Hands-Off rallies today. We were gonna go, but our Nakia isn't feeling well, so we're staying home with her. Based on what I've heard of crowd size, it may be a good thing as my anxiety probably wouldn't handle it well. #handsoff @charliedelavida.com

I am not surprised. They're not asking for IDs, even after someone tells them they are a citizen. I was a single woman, living around Boston for years, going to clubs, walking home in the dark, & never carried pepper spray. I bought some the other day because of stories like this. #immigrantrights

Great, just another reason for women to fear reporting an assault. So many of these snatching stories are coming to light & it's scary. Not only because citizens are being snatched without the chance to even prove citizenship & spending hours in detention before their citizenship comes to light...
