From Lowriders to Loud Voices
Thu Jun 12 2025
This week’s episode gets heavy, but it needs to.I talk about the vibe at the Pink Motel, the Chopped & Dropped show, and what I witnessed Saturday — a moment that hit hard and stayed with me. I dive into the emotional weight of seeing ICE activity that close to home, what it’s doing to communities, and how sharing it on social media led to conversations, reactions… and some backlash.Sunday and Monday brought protests, and now we’re seeing National Guard and Marine presence in our own neighborhoods. I get real about what it means to post, to speak up, and to fight for people who can’t.Here’s the truth:You can’t be about the culture if you don’t support its people.You can’t ride for the art, the cars, the food, the music, and then stay silent when the very people behind it are under attack.This hits especially close for me as someone from an immigrant family. My Ring app has been blowing up with ICE sightings in my area — markets, churches, even people’s front doors at 5am. That’s not safety. That’s terror.We also touch on California’s SB 54 — the sanctuary state law meant to protect people — and why it's more important than ever to know your rights and protect your communities.If what I’m saying offends you or makes you uncomfortable, then maybe this isn’t the space for you. But if you’re ready to fight the good fight — even when it’s hard, even when it costs you followers or so-called “friends” — then you’re exactly who this is for.Use your voice. Speak up. And f**k the fear.Stay Golden y'all 💜🎙️💬 Drop your thoughts in the comments.👍 Like, subscribe, and share if this hit home.📢 Use your voice — fight for those who can’t.#ImmigrationRights #StopICE #SanctuaryState #SB54 #LosAngelesActivism #UndocumentedAndUnafraid #PodcastForChange #LatinxVoices #NoHumanIsIllegal #JusticeForImmigrants #ICEinLA #RealTalkPodcast #VoiceForTheVoiceless #FightTheGoodFight #SpeakUp #CaliforniaPolitics #WeAreLA #RingCameraFootage #UseYourVoice #LowriderCommunitySubscribe Today & follow on IGhttps://www.instagram.com/rtm.pod/
