I brought my father to the ER with posible covid diagnosis. I just had “the talk” with the doctor about saying goodbye before he goes upstairs. I don’t wish this to my worst enemy. 1/2
My father is an undocumented food system worker. The ones that some politicians denies the frontline classification. One of the many making sure everyone is fed while the rest can quarantine and be fed at home. I’m livid. And heartbroken. And scared shitless. 2/2
My father and everyone else deserve so much better. A universal healthcare system, workplace protections, they need to be brought out of the shadows and into the dignified place in our community. 1/2
I was allowed to c him under mask, shield & smock before he was brought into the ICU. I reminded him how much we had already gone through, from his journey at the border, 2 Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump years under the shadows. This virus can’t kill you dad. Please don’t let it
This is my papi. He’s been waiting for his immigration petition since 2001. This pres left him & millions out of Cares Act. I hope my dad gets to live the transition and hope y’all help us make sure @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris get millions of immigrants 2 come out of the shadows
