I tried to set this up my phone and could not figure out how to βforce alt textβ. I am fortunate not to personally need that option and willing to learn how to do it to help others.
I appreciate you willing to figure it out!
The long and short of it is the following.

It DOES NOT work with gifs, I struggle remembering that so heads up.
Mine are scarier. They rarely leave the house and hardly ever show their faces. Theyβre the silent menace. No telling what kind of arsenal they have built up.
I find it ridiculous that some Americans feel entitled to the level that theyβre willing to separate children from their parents and dispose of people like cargo in countries they didnβt even come from originally.
The immigrants who come here work their asses off.
My immigrant grandfather from Romania, with a 5th grade education, painted houses and apartments into his late 80βs and he was a better man than most MAGAs will ever be.
There are no foreigners
None asked to be born where they were born
Unless I missed a consent form I signed somewhere
We are all foreigners to every land
Iβm 52 &from SanDiego, I partied in TJ evry wkend late 80s-90s when you could walk across the border no ID pay A $6cover at the club ((our fav was ClubXS)) &drink all night free, $6 covered all π· π«£, wait I digress, the Mexican People were kind protective &always helpful! They shld be treated better!
People existing in the world aren't being "pushed" in you.
Get a grip. People with views other than your own exist, have every right to exist, and shouldn't be forced into hiding because you don't like them or find them yucky.
Allowing men in our bathrooms is pushing it on me and mine. Like I said, you do what you want with your kids, don't push it on mine. My 12yo daughter should never have to share a bathroom with strange men. No girls should.
I live in the real world and it's especially dangerous for girls. Men don't belong in the bathroom with girls.. that includes boyfriends, male family members and male friends.
I live in a Latino neighborhood in NJ and
I love my neighbors.
I'm concerned about being arrested for obstruction because I will interfere if they show up here.
It's not really a one-tweet discussion, but basically: a tribalistic culture that considers itself superior and at liberty to abuse and subjugate and take advantage of everyone else, probably because 'god says so'. No amount of tolerance and goodwill will make them a good neighbor.
The thing is, I'm the US we tend to idealize the phenomenon of having a world with vibrant interesting coexisting cultures. And we forget that most other cultures don't see it that way. They think they should rule everyone.
Americans are the most welcoming people of any nation and willing to help. Where that rule breaks down is in democrat run cities where suicidal empathy and believing all who come are good means they have flooded the city with drugs and criminals
I'm triggered! Words hurt! You're inflicting violence against me and I WON'T HAVE IT!!!! I need to go to HR or speak to a manager!! I'm literally shaking right now!! You're trying to erase me from existence!! I demand affirmation, you bigot! I could go on forever.πππππππππππππππ€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£
I work in a law office. I've seen the ratio of crimes committed by citizens vs illegal immigrants. I could count on 1 hand the number of immigrants with criminal charges and they were very minor, usually traffic infractions.
Reviving community everywhere is essential, and not just in the USA. @aoc.bsky.social's slogan (assuming she originated it, but must be carved in stone): 'community is the antidote to despair'.
It takes greater intelligence to understand those of another culture than is required to understand one who mirrors our thinking because mirrored thoughts follow existing neural pathways while understanding another culture requires new neural pathways.
A look at the economics of immigration, do they drive down wages or can they be an economic boost for their adoptive country. Why is it that so many immigrants who appear to start with so little make a success of their new lives? https://youtu.be/7axOytWPVZ4
ICE is something that liberals generally support. Are we really doing this again, this, liberal pretend they are not Joe Bidenite right wingers, thing?
See how they play a zero-sum game. The E stands for ENFORCEMENT. Trump literally just doesnβt care about laws or enforcement. And Iβll be the first to say that I donβt agree with everything Obama did, or Joe-and thatβs bc Iβm a person with a working brain. And youβre a π€.
Yeah, I think itβs a terrible department and so is DHS. We literally donβt understand how immigration works or how to secure our borders, so we just let ICE & DHS get away with obvious fascism, then do a lot of grandstanding about how we should βfixβ them, but never try.
Perhaps you should go watch one of your Disney movies and leave the politics to people who are willing to spend real time and thought in it. It is a simple fact that democrats like you use ICE against your non-white enemies all of the time.
You don't know how to see things for what they are from inside your white habitus. You and Trump were born and raised in the same country, same culture, and it has made you unempathetic, bigoted, etc.
The worst part is that even the ugly Maga would cross the street when confronted with reality. Good people, easily manipulated yes, divided by evil power seekers that get our emotions involved in decision-making.
I think about the lazy schlubs all over the impoverished areas of the US, sitting on their butts waiting for someone to give them jobs... compare them to the people who travelled to the US under perilous conditions to build a better life for their families: which are the "Real Americans"?
I can attest to that. Iβm a refugee/immigrant. My parents, siblings and I had to leave everything behind in order to escape our war torn country and the communist party and seek a better life for ourselves.
I served in the U.S. Navy, got my Citizenship, got my education. Iβm one of many stories.
We've always helped immigrants. Immigrants who are here legally we got you. If you're here illegally we help them too, right out of the country. Because it's the law.
I stand with any legal immigrant before I would stand with a person who believes laws they don't support should not be enforced.
It is truly sad that the descendants of people who came to the USA to escape religious, political, and economic persecution are turning the USA into the country they left behind.
I know a lot of immigrants and a number of them who have become citizens. Each story is amazing in its own way. These people are good people in a bad spot. It takes years to become a citizen, and at this point Iβm shocked they still want to be an American.
We are all for migration.Do you remember Trump closed the border brought in 2 million migrants he vetted them if it wasnβt for Biden, letting in all the criminals sexual assaulters drugs, sex trafficking we wouldnβt be in this situation if you can tell who is who tell us itβll save us a lot of money
I was out with my dog last night & saw that the home of a neighbor whom I very much like & who is an undocumented immigrant is now sitting empty, pretty much overnight. Heartbreaking. She was just here with her own small business, trying to live the American dream & desperate to become a citizen.π’
The cruelty is the point! It doesnβt appear that any outside cameras or ever allowed, the White House and ICE are only producing the photos that they want.

Last week, my dog went insane because the guy across the street was smoking in his garage. He turned the light off because he knew she was in trouble.
That defines respect β€οΈ

KEEP THE IMMIGRANTS AND DEPORT THE MAGAs.

I think your answer will say a lot more about you than you'd like to admit.

All you have to do is open the Nextdoor app and see how hateful your neighbors are
Maga have been imbued with a sacrament they will never relinquish:
Permission to Hateβ¦Granted!
Or you could just go back to Twitter with the rest of the garbage.
You are not pro-immigrant.
Barack Obama deported over 2.5 million undocumented immigrants during his tenure
Joe Biden In fiscal year 2024, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported deporting 271,000 unauthorized immigrants
NO cameras or excess cruelty involved
But, those clamoring for mass deportations are βsuch good christians. The βcβ is purposely lower case- because they are not following my faith.
#FakeChristianity

Their cruelty, not to mention stupidity, is fucking infuriating.
That's an eye-opener π«±π»βπ«²πΏ
Agreed
