this is not a duet

hey people #undocumentedunafraid (a hashtag being used on twitter) is obviously a honeypot by the feds/being used to build a database by ppl on /pol/ of undocumented aliens. stop posting in it. or everyone post in it and make the tag useless. just dont post in it if youre undocumented, obviously. 

The “everyone post in it” route is a bad idea. Even if it creates an inaccurate watch list, its still a watch list which is dangerous. Dont draw unnecessary & unhelpful attention to urselves. Best avoid

I wanna know their names

Their names are Carlos Polanco, Carl Snyder and Alex Hall and they defeated the Harvard debate team on the topic of access to education for undocumented children 

Our rights are more than marriage - ncavp reported that 80% of deaths in hate crimes were people of color & 55% were trans - the average lifespan of a trans black woman is 35 - queer and trans victims of rape on college campuses are silenced - conversion therapy is still widely used in this country - abortion resources for trans people are limited - intersex children are still being mutilated at the hands of doctors - trans prisoners have little to no access to healthcare

It ain’t rude to interrupt Obama

It’s rude (and fucking terroristic) for the American government to allow the rape, torture, beating, and enslavement of undocumented trans women immigrants to take place

It’s rude for “progressives” to ignore the history of the queer/trans liberation work in this country. No gay person, no lesbian, not nobody would have shit without the disruption of the order of this country

TIME Magazine is asking who should be the Person of the Year, and among its forty options is: Undocumented Immigrants.

That’s right, we (the undocumented population) have the chance to be named “Person of the Year” as a collective! What does it mean? It means that Once again, the struggles of undocumented immigrants will be highlighted on a reputable publication - except that this time, it won’t be just the cover but a prestigious mention that has been awarded to John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and other notable historical figures.

What better way to be “noticed”, right?

So what are you waiting for? CLICK HERE and vote!

SIGNAL BOOST!!!

Right now it’s 40% “definitely” and 60% “no way” so let’s tumblr-bomb this and make Undocumented Immigrants TIME’s Person of the Year 2012!!!

do ittt

It's at 43% "No way" now, people! Let's keep this momentum going! Also, I can't believe it's still pretty high. This country upsets me, especially with all its talk about diversity, "melting pots", and that bullshit.

Rosario Dawson at DREAM Act Bus protest

Out of the shadows and into the streets!

On March 14 2012, Tania Chairez and Jessica Hyejin Lee, openly undocumented and unafraid mujeres, blocked traffic in an act of civil disobedience in front of ICE headquarters in Philadelphia. They risked deportation to free Miguel, another undocumented youth who has been in ICE detention for more than 8 months, separated from his wife and U.S. citizen son.
