If @MALDEF has a million fans im one of them. If @MALDEF has a 1000 fans im still one of them. If @MALDEF has 1 fan it’s me. If @MALDEF has 0 fans it means I have left this world. If the world is against @MALDEF then it means I’m against the whole world.

“Wetback.” Do you know the significance of that racial slur? It’s been directed at Hispanics for generations.

But when bigoted Judge Allen Amos of Kinney County, TX referred to defendants as “wetbacks,” the State Commission on Judicial Conduct refused to hold him accountable 1/

Today, the El Paso shooter was sentenced to 90 life terms for his actions at Wal-Mart.

“Our Gente Latina is resilient; it’s in our culture to take care of one another and we saw exactly that in El Paso following the tragedy,” said MALC Chair @Victoria4Texas.

This Memorial Day, remembering all the men and women in uniform who gave their all. Three Rivers, Texas’ fallen hero Felix Longoria’s family gave even after his death. @VocesCenter story on @TexasStandard: https://t.co/n72xXIDGJl

The folks in the Texas legislature who think they can change the rules of the game so that they win every time are sorely mistaken. Yesterday, we announced that we are filing a lawsuit against their attempt to take over elections in Harris County.

Today, we remember the 21 fourth-graders and teachers who were killed and 18 who were injured in Uvalde, TX one year ago.

Our hearts are with the survivors and families of the victims, who should've been safe. We will never stop fighting for the future our children deserve.

Those who only offer thoughts and prayers in the wake of a shooting should go further.

@Chaplain_Black opened the Senate with a prayer for action: "Lord, deliver our senators from the paralysis of analysis that waits for the miraculous."

A good night to be a Texas hooper 🤘

This is exactly why MALC and allies are pushing back on the #txlege removing DEI.

Representation matters and political power matter. The state is scapegoating guidelines to silence our growing majority of Black and Brown Texans.

Floridians deserve to know their legislators are pushing through a dangerous bill to let anyone carry a loaded gun in public—no questions asked.

That’s why we launched billboards in both Spanish and English this week in Florida. #flleg

Just a little reminder to anti-abortionists to mind their own uterus. ✌️

86% of fentanyl convictions at the US/Mexico border are of US CITIZENS, not immigrants.

Like this guy. One of the Charlottesville tiki torch Nazis. Caught smuggling 33 pounds of fentanyl at the border.

THIS is who's smuggling fentanyl.

When is it not a great day to be a Texas Longhorn. Mike may just be my favorite human on campus.

Today, @MALCTx unveiled their legislative priorities for the 88th #txlege. Front and center were raising the age to purchase an assault rifle (21 por 21), fully funding our neighborhood schools, conditional drivers permits for all, ethnic studies, veterans issues & more.

Hundreds of border residents have traveled to Austin to demand the end to Operation Lone Star.

Gov. Abbott’s $4.5 billion border militarization program is certainly not popular in many of the communities it impacts.

On the left, Republican Senator Mike Lee feigns outrage during the State of the Union when President Biden suggests that some Republicans want to cut Social Security and Medicare.

On the right, Mike Lee says he wants to get rid of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

#OTD in 1917, the infamous #BathRiots erupted at the El Paso-Juarez border crossing station when Carmelita Torres, a 17-year-old maid who crossed daily from Juarez to El Paso to work, refused to endure a gasoline bath - an unsafe and humiliating procedure rooted in racism.
