Honored to speak at @CABlackFreedom event tonight. Hard conversations about supporting Black power, denouncing anti-Black racism from any source, & insisting that “solidarity is what you do when no one is looking.” Plus, another opportunity to hang w incomparable @_HollyJMitchell

While Kevin de León (again) took the city to a new low, @EunissesH @HugoForCD13 and I walked in solidarity. We talked about the past, present, and future of radical latinx politics in LA. Thanks for the day, @GustavoArellano

It just keeps getting worse…
“Kevin de León was involved in a fight with an activist Friday, in an altercation at least partially caught on video. The council member said in a statement that he was assaulted. Activists said De León was the aggressor.” latimes.com/california/sto…

The racist & xenophobic history of the #1326 law is well documented.
Historians like @klytlehernandez have exposed this legacy. Created in 1929 by a white supremacist U.S. Senator, the law’s intent was to explicitly exclude Mexican migrants.

“Bad Mexicans,” by Kelly Lytle Hernández
In this captivating history, the author argues powerfully that “you cannot understand U.S. history without Mexico and Mexicans.” nyer.cm/yA1YjWh

Required reading on 1326! Fantastic story from @aflores describing the amazing work of @KaraHartzler @klytlehernandez and many others to expose and eradicate the racism pervading the criminal immigration laws.

My last story for @BuzzFeedNews looks at the racist history of the law the Trump administration used to separate families at the border and how federal defenders are using it to fight illegal reentry charges for immigrants. buzzfeednews.com/article/adolfo…
