Jun 2025

I called my uncle for his 90th birthday. He couldn’t stop himself from saying things about how Biden let in all these illegals and now Trump has to be the bad guy. How they use our taxes and their kids go to our schools. I countered with how I’m more worried about billionaires not paying taxes and he brushed it off saying all politicians pay back their donors. 🙄

I told him he and his wife should be careful shopping at Cardenas markets (specialty grocery store for Latin foods where we shop) because they are Hispanics with heavy accents and ICE won’t be able to tell them apart from the ones he’s spewing against. Got quiet for a moment. Let it sink in.

Then I said my goodbye. I won’t be calling him again. Good riddance from my life.
