As a proud Guatemalan-American, that moment hit home.
So many of us were raised knowing we belong to more than one place, that our roots stretch across nations, and that our love for this country doesn’t require erasing where we came from.
At a time when immigrants and our Latinidad are being targeted so much that joy itself feels under attack, last night matters. Because authoritarian movements thrive on isolation and fear. What scares them most is solidarity. People finding each other and saying: you are not alone.
That’s what made last night so powerful. It wasn’t just a performance. It was a declaration that the only thing more powerful than hate is love, community, and our shared humanity.
We are living through hard times. But moments like this remind us why we keep fighting.
Together, we are America. And together, we are stronger than anything they throw at us.
In Solidarity,
Delia
