Chicago ICE Raid is DESPICABLE

10/3/2025

I was born in Chicago. My father's side of the family is from Chicago. Some of them still live in Chicago. We are all Puerto Rican.

I am horrified about the unlawful apartment raid that occurred in Chicago two days ago. There was no probable cause, no warrant, and no reason for them to drag children out of their homes (some without clothes on) other than that they could. I only hope the city of Chicago and the residents of the apartment building sue. As far as I am concerned, that is child endangerment, abuse, harassment, mixed in with child pornography. If any other person had walked out of the building with a naked child, they would have been arrested in minutes. 
The fact is, not only does this regime encourage ICE to be cruel, but the Supreme Court has basically given them permission to do so. By saying they can racially profile people, SCOTUS has allowed them to see buildings like the one in Chicago and say "that's a building in a poor section of Chicago. Spanish people must live there." Because, of course, all Spanish people are poor and all Spanish people are immigrants. 

I think what makes this even worse is that some of my family members (those still living in Chicago and those not) voted for 47, simply because they are too religious to support a woman's right to have an abortion. They allowed this regime to target them because they were willing to force their religious beliefs on all women. What's happening to Spanish people all over the country is partly their fault. And they are Puerto Rican. It's that mindset of "It can't happen to me." I love my family, but I almost wish it did happen to them in the hopes it will wake them the fuck up.

This country is no longer the America our Founding Fathers fought for. They must be rolling in their graves right now. I am not a fan of zombies. In fact, my favorite phrase is "I don't do zombies." However, I would be okay with zombie Founding Fathers crawling out of their graves to fight this regime for America. I mean, somebody has to, and some of our Democratic leaders are lacking in that regard.

    Welcome to HopefullyMAD. Here, I share my thoughts and opinions on topics that are important to me.

    ​Why did I choose the name HopefullyMAD? Right now, I am MAD at the world and its treatment of human beings. Nobody should be made to feel less than. But I am also Hopeful. Without hope, what is there to fight for? I fight because of my hope for a better world. 
    ​
    Why not MADhopeful? Here's why; because I hope that you are MAD too. I hope that you are so MAD that you join me and others in this fight for our rights back. Be hopeful. Be MAD. Be HopefullyMAD.
