@JeronimoSaldana @laloalcaraz So close: I had paletas & chones; but failed to use naglas & 7up. A couple quick edits should do the trick...

her chones were stuck to her naglas from the heat. As she reached to make her cola more comfortable, Abuela gave her a look that threatened chancla. "Mija, have a 7up.."

Angelica sent this video from where she was working cutting raspberries in Oxnard, CA saying, "There's lots of water and mud in the rows. My fingers are freezing because it is very cold, but I have to work like this, because my family depends on what I earn." #WeFeedYou

The quicker we forget the pandemic the quicker we forget how easy it was for governments to ban evictions, forbid creditors from chasing debtors, find the homeless homes, provide a universal basic income and more. All the things we are told are impossible

Republicans are messing with the wrong generation. Gen Z sees right through the war Republicans are waging on us. We are paying attention. And we will make them find out in 2024. Joined @KatiePhang earlier to discuss why the GOP plan to silence Gen Z will backlash. Watch👇

On this day 104 years ago, Mexican revolutionary leader Emiliano Zapata was assassinated. Zapata was involved in the 1910 Mexican Revolution and spent his life tirelessly fighting for social justice and land reform for the rural Mexican working class.

If you need a timeline cleanse, here’s one.

🚨 EMERGENCY: The white woman on the left with the pink hair at a Black Lives Matter protest is an UNDERCOVER POLICE OFFICER from Colorado Springs named April Rogers.

With the help of the FBI, she created a fake identity named Chelsie, and pretended to be a sex worker that was disturbed by police brutality. It was all a lie.

Once she infiltrated local groups in Colorado, she started trying to get peaceful Black leaders to commit a slew of gun crimes. Which they thankfully refused. Over and over again she tried to get people to break the law.

This right here is what we are up against. She's still employed by the Colorado Springs Police.

@alphabetboys.pod did the hard work to uncover this. Grateful for the team there.

Don’t fall for this credit card trick when traveling

It reminds me a lot of how the origins of many helping professions and fields were wrapped up with white supremacy, upholding and advancing it. e.g., the invention of Drapetomania - a psychiatric illness that overtook enslaved people and caused them to run away.

ALERT: Per scanner, police are en route to #Boulder High after another threat was called in. Dispatch indicated call was similar to the swatting call made last week, but if you are at the campus please follow all instructions and take this seriously

@shaTIRED Ah yes, rental agreements are exactly like buying a coffee a Starbucks.

Just this morning, I had to sign a legally binding contract & put down a deposit for the pleasure of buying a coffee. & I still had to pay for my coffee, despite the deposit!🙄

Same dude wrote a book where the Good go to the town where my alma mater is. They turned that into a mini series & used Utah as a stand in for the town instead!

[Empanada Dreams: Lavador de Manos @flower_maker]

Tell me about it🙄

One time this dude wrote a book about a hotel in my homestate. When they filmed the movie, not only did the director torture his lead actress, they used a hotel in OR & a sound stage in England as a stand in for the hotel!

@LouisatheLast JFC, this is bleak. A new title pops out each time I look at the picture.

Dumplin & Speak are standouts today.

So no books where the protagonist explores the idea of deserving of love regardless of body type; no books exploring the process of surviving r*pe.

I hate it, thx

Before the Memphis Police Dept. releases the video of 5 MPD officers murdering #TyreNichols during a routine traffic stop, and that heinous video inevitably goes viral, I want to amplify THIS video of Tyre LIVING his best life. 🛹👑🙏🏿😔✊🏿

@lynnxe @MediClit I'm pretty sure it's a combination of racism & internalized misogyny that causes her to see this as flirtatious.

Clearly you went to college in the 70s or 80s. Shit really changes in roughly half a centry.

If you went to college in the 90s & beyond - why are you lying about something so stupid? I was there too. Kerrygold has been readily available in US grocery stores since the 90s.
