1/ A racist manifesto and a shooter terrorized Hispanics in El Paso.

This city was the victim of white supremacy. But it was not the only target.

By attacking El Paso, the gunman terrorized Hispanics across the country.

@alexazura's latest: bit.ly/33adaAt
@alexazura 2/ The community here has been violently knocked down by an act of what federal law enforcement has catalogued as domestic terrorism.

The gunman allegedly described the attack as a “response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas.”

bit.ly/33adaAt
@alexazura 3/ The mostly Hispanic crowd in this city was visibly emotional this weekend at a vigil.

They shared prayers as they tried to make sense of why a stranger from outside the community would target members of theirs based on the color of their skin.

1/ A high-ranking U.S. border official refused to allow American citizens to enter the country on Friday, sending them back to Piedras Negras, Mexico.

Then, Mexican authorities threatened to arrest them.

2/ Their crime? Escorting a 15-year-old Salvadoran boy — left alone after his single mom died — to the midway point of an international bridge so he could seek asylum in Eagle Pass, Texas. bit.ly/2GOimAk
3/ The Americans are researchers at the University of Texas at Austin — @Sleutert and two of her associates from the university. bit.ly/2GOimAk

@washingtonpost 2/ Jordan, 25 and Andre, 24, were among now 21 victims killed in Saturday’s mass shooting at a Walmart and shopping center in El Paso, leaving their infant son without parents as they died protecting him. bit.ly/2MEu9F9
@washingtonpost 3/ The Anchondos had just dropped their oldest daughter off at cheerleading practice when they pulled into the Walmart parking lot.

It was a busy day for them. Their daughter was having a birthday party, turning 6, so they needed party decorations. bit.ly/2MEu9F9

I spent a few hours Sunday at a quinceañera expo in Houston for an upcoming column.This may seem to have nothing to do with #elpaso but bear with me.
It was, of course, extravagant with a rainbow of intricately beaded dresses with cascading ruffles and impossibly big skirts.
There was loud merengue and reggaeton, people dancing in the aisles and on stage. And lots of families. Doting Latino parents beaming at their beautiful daughters

#ElPaso. #Dayton. A fucking garlic festival. It's been a (yet another) bloody week in America. And yet despite the death toll, the @GOP is once again deflecting the conversations we NEED to have about guns and white nationalism to video games and mental illness.
As a combat veteran, someone who loves video games, and someone suffering from mental illness, I have a LOT to say about this. So buckle the fuck up. I don't have time to fucking sugar coat anything.
I'm a former Marine. I saw some pretty nasty fuckin' shit in Fallujah '04. We all did. I earned my combat action ribbon through numerous firefights and patrols in Fallujah, Mahmoudiyah, Zaidan, and Ramadi. Almost died for it.

This is the root of the “lone wolf” radicalization problem we are experiencing in the US. The shooting is also used as a distraction from the current events that need to be hidden from the public. See 👇🏼#ElPaso #ElPasoShooting
Here is a chart of using “lone wolf”, by an alt-right group leader. See a thread with the breakdown of a shooting from the last year. Same thing here. #ElPaso #ElPasoShooting

#ElPasoSHOOTING: 19 DEAD, 40 WOUNDED

I can’t help thinking abt families shopping at Walmart for school supplies being slaughtered like animals. El Paso like Gilroy has a large Latino population. Trump’s dehumanization & conflation of immigrants & criminals put targets on them.
“It’s about taking down immigrants. There’s a body count associated with these websites (8chan, 4chan) now”—Ben Collins (@oneunderscore__) on #ElPasoShooting. 21yo shooter posted a white supremacist screed/manifesto citing neo-Nazi killers Brevik, New Zealand mosque massacre…
