Still Staggering

Relocating outside the U.S. to wait out my husband’s 10 year immigration bar to reentry was the hardest decision, esp bc we’re caregivers to my elderly parents. In order to move, I had to get them on board bc there i couldn’t just abandon them when they need us most. It was terrifying for them.1/

In the world of none of it matters since people are starving and dying everyday….But does anyone else think it’s unfair that the Wordle bot gets to win by a fraction of a difference (like 3.8) whereas us mere mortals can only win with round numbers (4)? wtf? How does it even win on part of a word?

How Caturday can be the #1 trending topic on this app when WWIII is breaking out says a lot. 🤦‍♀️

Happy New Year from Curacao! Here’s my reminder to all who need it that we can’t have light without the dark. Here’s to less stormy days ahead!

What does it say when US is on the brink of war with Venezuela, and Bluesky’s trending stories are all about sports. 🤦‍♀️

Never knew abt 10 years in jail for ignoring a deportation order. We consulted over a dozen immigration lawyers + NO ONE mentioned this, even if rarely used! Immigration lawyers should have an ethical obligation to tell you facts like this. Instead they take your money + fill you with false hope. 😡

What it is going to take stop this war with Venezuela?! Someone needs to stop them!!!!!

Finally!!!!!

Relieved we left Curacao temporarily bc of our anxieties about U.S./Venezuela conflict and risk of being trapped near a potential war zone. Everyone said we were overreacting. Well, just now, the Dutch gov’t has raised security concerns for the ABC islands: www.curacaochronicle.com/post/main/du...

We lived like this for years, planning “what ifs” - what if he gets detained? What if he suddenly can’t return to our home for 10 years? What happens to my elderly parents if we have to relocate? Anxiety was off the rails.

Marrying a US citizen, contrary to popular belief, does not automatically give you citizenship! Please watch and share this video from American Families United who is working to create a pathway to keep families together.

Idea of the Day...

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

Hate it when people call out ICE abuse but still say “illegals.” My husband was a PERSON without papers. He was an undocumented PERSON. No one’s existence is illegal. “Illegals” is dehumanizing and says they don’t belong. It’s othering. Words matter.

Here’s a glimpse of the types of post to warn of ICE’s presence in the area. Just horrifying. More like Nazi Germany than the land of the free! They’re literally being hunted and kidnapped. I am ashamed to be associated with America. 😭 😡

Colbert comes out swinging. Gonna be a fun 10 months...

I’m shocked at how often I hear Russian propaganda repeated in Curacao. 99.9% of the time it’s a non-American (usually Dutch, not Curacaoan) spewing B.S. + they get defensive when I correct their facts. Reading about spread of disinfo is so different than hearing it out loud, let me tell you. 🤦‍♀️ 😮

Tip to politicians and pundits: When your only recourse is to say “vote them out,” it doesn’t make me feel better. Look at what’s happened in just 6 months. Am I supposed to feel relieved that we have to wait another year and a half? 🙈

Musk is an immigrant. Melania is an immigrant. Trump’s first wife—an immigrant. All his kids except Tiffany are 1st generation kids. Bezos’s wife—an immigrant. Zuckerberg’s in-laws—immigrants. JD Vance’s in-law immigrants. Remind the public every day!

Awful!!!! people.com/new-photos-s...

Even at the time of the election, I thought something was wrong with these results. Good for my neighboring county that they’re demanding a recount, even just for the record.

Please don’t sit down at a protest You’re endangering yourself You can stand silently Link arms Walk away slowly Document Get out of the way of ANY violence & help anyone who needs help moving away No violence!

Now this is how you do it!!! A reminder to us all from the amazing Leticia James to not give into fear. A must watch: www.threads.com/@calltoactiv...

This is exactly wtf they wanted.

These headlines related to U.S. military aviation have all appeared in the last 11 days. There is a major problem at the Defense Department.

F47's distracting 3/5 “While we’re chasing Alcatraz and Trump-as-pope stories, Trump has gutted funding for America’s food banks and hollowed out the FAA to where Newark Airport is basically inoperable, and not in its usual way." He played a news clip showing the Trump administration just...

Focus people. Trump has the levers of power. The only people who can take them away from him are elected Republicans. And we must focus on that. Every single R in the house and Senate should be asked why they are not stopping him. They hold the power to impeach, convict, and remove

Good morning. DOGE is fake and not a real agency. Please quit pretending it’s real

Yup. Because human beings are just pawns to make them richer.

I won’t share all the horrific immigration stories because there are too many (way worse than my own!). But this!! OMG 😢
