Rafael Cruz I hope you get the life you deserve if not in this lifetime then in the next. Maybe then you will learn about the consequences of your choices.
Signed,
An angry and disappointed PROUD Puerto Rican woman living in Texas

and more specifically Cubans, you are a shame to the legacy of freedom that so many have sought outside of a Castro regime and have died in the pursuit of it, you are a disgraceful husband and father for your cowardice and your hypocrisy. 🧵18

I take liberties in speaking for Cubans—my fellow Caribbeans — and maybe the ancestors that aren’t mine like you speak for the unborn that don’t exist, but you are a shame to your people, and by that I mean, Latinos, 🧵17

lapping at the table and taking scraps, hoping that one day el patrón will let you eat at his table. Real talk, they will never see you as anything other than a dirty immigrant. 🧵16

Like the unborn which you keep trying to speak for when they are nonexistent, so do the dead and the ancestors upon whose memories you spit would hold you in contempt and shame. You are a hypocrite, a Latino trying to be a white man, 🧵16

and how disrespectful and disgusting not only your rhetoric, but your cowardice is.
Rafael Cruz you don’t deserve freedom. You don’t deserve liberty. You don’t deserve an easy life because you’ve thrown your hand in with the wrong devil.🧵14

You and your actions have been so reprehensible that not even Canada, the country you immigrated to first when you left authoritarian Cuba, didn’t want you back! That should tell you something about what people think of you 🧵13

As a wife, if my husband refused to stand up for me and instead joined in with the same man who insulted me and also insults my family and where I come from, that man would find himself without a wife.🧵12

You have tied yourself to a man who not only does not respect your birth country, your people, and those who have died in the pursuit of freedom, but also is the same man who insulted your wife and insulted you. 🧵11

You have brought shame upon your family, your ancestors, your countrymen, and have spit on the memories of those who have died in the pursuit of freedom from an authoritarian regime by throwing your hand in with a similar regime.🧵10

Your ancestors those who fought and bled and your countrymen who have fled because of persecution from Castro‘s regime, which includes your own family by the way, are ashamed of you.🧵9

that he supports someone who calls his countrymen and fellow Latinos, murderers, rapist, criminals and says they came from sh*t hole countries. Let me remind you that Cuba is a sh*t hole country according to the current president.🧵8

and identities.
I want to bring up the fact that you are a Latino, Rafael, and yet you don’t care about your people. I have never known or seen someone who hates himself and his people so much (except Enrique Torres, the leader of the Proud Boys, who is also a Cuban) 🧵7

Yet you challenged Beto for changing his name, saying he wanted to sound more Latino by changing his name. You can’t have it both ways, Rafael. So I’m using the name that you were assigned at birth like so many trans folks this administration is forcing to use rather than their preferred names 🧵6

You are so adamant in pushing legislation that excludes the trans community and reinforces a regime and administration that seeks to erase trans people from existence, and yet you like to use your preferred name of Ted because it makes you sound more American. 🧵4

However, Rafael, I am ashamed to share the bird with you. I refuse to call you Ted the way that you refuse to abide by preferred names and preferred pronouns for trans folks. 🧵3

However, I’m not going to talk about the difference between immigration and emigration, but rather I want to bring up something that is much more relevant to our mutual heritages. It is often said that Puerto Ricans and Cubans are two wings of the same bird, and I think that is beautiful 🧵2

Abolition was against the law but it was the right thing to do. Sit-ins were against the law but they were the right thing to do. Stop playing safe. Stop playing nice. These people neither deserve nor understand common decency. It’s time to break some “laws”. ✊🏽 🧵2

Except our Texas elected officials (with the exception of a few— thanks Ms Crockett!) bow down to the tyrants. What’s the point when you know they won’t care to listen? We tried that with Hesgeth and he still got through! It’s time to take the gloves off!

So I encourage you to have the hard conversations. Speak your truth and clear the air about your fears and expectations regarding how you navigate these times. Also , start making plans, even tentatively, about how to keep yourself and your family safe, including whether you might need to flee. 🧵5

It was probably one of the most important conversations we’ve had in our entire marriage. These are the times for the hard conversations and really making it clear. We can’t take anything for granted anymore – not safety, not common sense, not interpersonal courtesy, and not common decency. 🧵4

A big part of that discussion was helping him understand why I was afraid because he had no frame of reference due to his privilege. We also spoke about any misunderstandings we’ve had around expectations of safety, especially being in an interracial relationship. 🧵3

my being detained simply for existing and doing my work in the community. And the fear that comes from that. We both acknowledged that he has privilege as a cis, hetero, white male. And further we spoke about what options would be available to us should we ever need to flee for safety. 2🧵

He’s literally a man who rapes women and has “many many offenses”. So do members of his cabinet that’s he’s assigned to high security spots — looking at you, Hesgeth. Maybe we should start with them!
