@markhamillofficial.bsky.social you just made my whole entire life!
And when I thought it couldn’t get worse…
I was just sent this.
In 2021, he proudly accepted an award as “Amigo de la Comunidad.”
Less than five years later, he’s endorsing policies that target the same community.
Language didn’t change.
Culture didn’t change.
The politics did.
Medical care isn’t à la carte. Doctors have ethical obligations not just to one child, but to all patients in their care. That’s not discrimination — that’s medicine.
Passing laws like this in an election year, with Republican polling where it is, is a gamble.
May the odds be ever in your favor.
If the goal is to erase language and culture in pursuit of a white-only country, history shows that effort has never worked. 9/
You cannot erase a culture by law. History shows these policies don’t create cohesion. They create resentment—and they don’t last. 8/
It has never returned. 7/
In 1993, after Hispanics became the majority on the Miami-Dade County Commission, the 1980 ordinance was repealed. 6/

That policy generated resistance and resentment and ultimately failed. Spanish remained the dominant language. 5/
This wasn’t new. After the U.S. took control of Puerto Rico, English was pushed in government and schools beginning in 1902 as part of an Americanization effort. 4/
It didn’t create unity. It coincided with increased hostility and harassment toward Spanish-speaking residents. 3/
In 1980, Miami-Dade County voters passed an “English-only” ordinance, making English the county’s official language and restricting public funds for non-English communications. 2/
Here’s a little history lesson. 🧵
It doesn’t matter if you’re a citizen
It doesn’t matter what the Constitution says
It doesn’t matter if there’s a court order which prohibits ICE from using excessive force
♦️They executed this man

📢 New rule in Florida gives charter operators access to district student data — including academic history, disability status & discipline records — without clear limits or parent consent. Families deserve to know how their kids’ info is used.
Están eliminando la supervisión pública de las escuelas charter.
Se financian con dinero público, pero no podemos exigirles rendición de cuentas cuando fracasan o violan los derechos civiles de los niños.
Juntas no electas solo rinden cuentas al Gobernador, no al pueblo.
They’re cutting taxpayers out of oversight of charter schools.
We fund them with public dollars, but can’t hold them accountable when they fail or violate children’s civil rights.
Unelected boards answer only to the Governor — not the public.

I have canceled my Disney Plus and Hulu. As great and convenient as the shows are, our constitutional rights matter more.
Interesting that both Robert Redford, who played Bob Woodward in 1976, and the real Bob Woodward outlived the Washington Post.
