1. On 3 August 2019 a White Nationalist came into my town and murdered 22 people who were going about their Saturday morning, some buying groceries and other school supplies for back to school.
2. Most of these innocent people were grandmas and grandpas while others were young parents, uncles, and a teenage boy getting ready for sophomore year of high school. What were they guilty of..? Other than being Hispanic, not a damn thing.
3. Few days later, Donny & Melanie show up for photo op w surviving victims in hospitals across the city. After most refusing to meet these disgusting people, a baby of just 2 months, & now an orphan, is forced into photo just days after after his parents lost their lives.
4. Almost 3 wks after the massacre occurred, I am preparing to receive one of my students back who just buried her abuelita & abuelito after laying on the floor of Walmart crime scene shot to death because, according to the racist killer, they were going to take over Texas.
5. Seeing Donny give a thumbs up at his photo op at the hospital with the orphaned baby, it’s obvious that this is a trophy of an opportunity for him. While @realDonaldTrump denies being a racist, others do the dirty work of spreading the poison that is racism and hate for him.
6. My town is a beautiful desert oasis that is home to people of all walks of life. It was put on the radar by Donny as a city in crisis (all lies) and it was attacked by the same hateful rhetoric he uses to control his devoted, condemned, and now damned.
7. El Paso is rich in culture, nurture, and warmth. We are home to many well known people, to Chico’s, to @BetoORourke, to the Texas Western Miners 1966 NCAA champs, to @the_greatkhalid, and to countless of immigrants who have helped establish this beautiful community.
8. The list goes on and on. El Paso history is amazing. Every day we add to our history and we will not let anyone take that away from us. The Star on the mountain is the Sun City, the 915, Chuco Town. I am a life long El Pasoan, and y’all better believe I am damn proud of it.
9. The 46 lives forever changed will not be in vain. It is now known throughout the country and the world that El Pasoans are the perfect example of what unity is and what unity looks like.
10. We will do our part to strengthen the blue wave. 💙 #ElPasoStrong #MakeTexasBlue #VoteThemOut #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica #VoteBlueNoMatterWho2020
That is all.

11. One more thing... @FLOTUS
@DonaldJTrumpJr @IvankaTrump @EricTrump remind your boss/dad that he owes us half a million dollars for his hate rally from February 2019 and that he just earned another late fee penalty for not paying his bill.
