It is time for a new Latino political movement in this country. I’d love to see a million Latino march in Washington. To remind Trump and his people that we are Americans too.

What occurred w/Sen Padilla
was disturbing. Agree it’s of
the essence we let ourselves
be heard. Latino’s contribute
a lot, go to military cemetery,
see the names. My ancestors
arrived from Spain in 1731 &
didn’t the cross border, cross
us! Latinos are generational.
It’s time ⏰we remind USA.
Bear a flag! June 14th is Flag Day, and tomorrow June 14th is Take Back Our Flag Day! Show your support for the U.S. Constitution and wave Old Glory, the Stars and Stripes, while you join any one of thousands of rallies, marches, and demonstrations nationwide declaring America has NO KINGS! Resist!!
I'm all for a good march, but a million strong in DC? That's some serious #LatinxPower 💪! But let's be real, Dems need to step up and show they're not just tokenizing our vote. Can we get a movement that's more than just a hashtag? 🤔
I hope they have finally learned that the "GOP" is really, truly racist to its core. They won't be spared because they're Cuban, South American, or legally here from Mexico or Central America. Anyone who really thought, "they'll just get those horrible criminals they keep telling us about,"
I’ve read comments to posts to get a feel of what people are thinking and I was disappointed to see the nasty comments of a lot of male Latinos. These guys fully support trump’s deportation tactics. I don’t understand why. I’m a Latina.
For Tomorrow Remember:

Who is going to protect Trump from the military? 20% of the population is having mental health struggles at any given time. That population includes military.
Except almost half of the Latino community voted for the moron...so latinos kind of did it to themselves too. Doesn't make any of what's happening right, or what you're saying wrong...but maybe you need to talk amongst yourselves first.
DJT has just revoked the protection given to 530000 Hispanics and Haitians by Biden. What about the eastern Europeans here also fleeing violence and hunger. Trump is clearly discriminating over who gets to stay.
Nope! Latino national strike! The nation would grind to a halt! But my melanated self will not be putting my physical safety at risk! Especially with congress just sitting by watching all this happen!
Sir, up to 45% of Latinos and Latinas happily voted for Trump? Florida’s mostly Cuban Americans overwhelmingly voted for him. Why? This monster made so many hate speeches against the Latino’s! 😩🙃😬
The lesson : Trump is a racist White man who hates Latino’s just as much as he hates Black folks.
Also let's not forget some of the founders of The Heritage Iniciative and Proud Boys are Cuban Americans. And they hated other Latinos for being "special" whites.
First Cuba stayed as Spanish colony till 1898, so things like whiteness, slavery and bigotry stayed longer
The the first waves of migrants came from the burgeoisie and privileged landowners who were supporters of another dictator Fulgencio Batista (This one right-wing). They didn't exile because
Castro was a dictator per se. They escaped because Castro went against their privileges (For all the fair bad things Castro did, he's not the sole villain and the Cuban diaspora isn't fighting for "democracy" in the good sense).
The Cuban society, even as Catholic, shared core defeats from GOP.
Cubans have voted consistently Republican ever since "JFK failed them." They blamed the whole party and assumed "GOP" meant it when they essentially said they'd get Cuba back for them. They never learn. Still haven't gotten Cuba back 66 years after Castro came to power.
Sounds like a good chunk of those men hate themselves as much as Trump and his goons despise them.
How can they even begin to care for and uplift their fellow humans, if they abhor their own selves, if they fully embrace the patriarchy and its cruelty?
This was Latino land. The clue is in the name 'California', 'New Mexico' etc. Plenty of Latinos have ancestors who lived there before the Europeans knew the land existed.
Is there a unified Latino force. Trump was very effective at convincing “Latinos for Trump” that other latinos were the problem and were ok with them being deported.
This stuff was going on - in a smaller scale with less mania- in 2017 in the 1st term!
It's still hard for me to believe, and even harder to understand, that 50% of Latino males voted for Trump. Didn't they realize that he hates their guts?
Agree this treatment is inhumane. Should have had a march before the election. I remember a group called Latinos for Trump what did they see and hear when Trump was campaigning?
Large numbers of Latino men voted FOR Trump in 2024. There WILL be a lot of Latinos running for office/in a political movement AND if 2024 told us anything, they'll be MAGA/GOP candidates.
Can you explain WHY so many Latinos Hispanics voted for Trump??? I would think there is a lot of buyers remorse now. A good time to draw them into a new political umbrella.
To be clear,there’s a difference between POC and Black people🤷🏾♀️Remember that over 40% of Latinos voted for 45. Let’s not misconstrue who is for the Black community and who isn’t. As a member of the 92%,I’m sitting this one out. They’re reaping what they’ve sown. They have civil rights because of us!
Yes!!!! Blacks have been treated that way since being chained on ships and brought here!! And now that the racist, fascist orange felon is back in the WH, he and his klan are trying to wipe us out in every way possible!! 🤮
All they need is to call off work for a few days they change the debate immediately. Hotels, restaurants, farm work, meat packing plants and a lot more. They need to flex that power.
One of my brothers was one of those. He complacently thought that the financial powers that be would make sure Trump didn't come back. Unfortunately, he misjudged how they saw Trump.
Gunna let Latino folks weigh in here but if you don’t think the Administration wouldn’t try and round up attendees on suspicion of being “illegal” then idk what to tell you
Well said, Jim, I'm Cuban 🇨🇺 born and raised in California, and I'm furious how they're treating Hispanics, and a lot of us are citizens of this country

Acosta has Cuban heritage, but grew up in Northern Virginia
He's influenced by the DC culture more than Florida, or by Tejano or Californio people.
He couldn't tell you what Puerto Rican or Dominican pride is or the differences

Trump does not consider Latinos to be Americans.
He considers them to be ANIMALS.
He said so himself.
Latinos are more American than Trump will ever be.
