People always talk about how progressive Washington and Oregon are but have you ever been to the rural areas in these states? It gets real uncomfortable even just going to the store when you’re not white 🥴
The phrase “con permiso” (with permission) in Spanish seems based on mutual respect, but in reality is relic of its caste system.
Many of the phrases & formalities in Mexico City originate from this system and the 1900s Porfiriato era.
If you were from a lower caste, you needed permission to pass a Spaniard or an elite criollo. You were required to acknowledge the boundary between service class and the master class.
You see a similar dynamic with the phrase “Mande” (Command me).
It is a direct remnant of a servant-master relationship.
cesar chavez was incredibly anti-immigrant and went as far as to organize private border patrol groups during his lifetime. i hope what came out from women like dolores huerta today about his r@pe and abuse seals his coffin for mexicans
just saw a tweet where someone said that as a 28 year old woman she has nothing in common with a 24 year old woman………what??? age gap discourse is driving me up the wall
BREAKING:
The US and Israel dropped bombs on an elementary school for girls in Iran’s city of Minab.
36 little girls have been killed so far.
People are still pulling bodies from under the rubble.
Not militants. Not combatants.
Little girls. Students.
This is terrorism.
people who don't understand intersectionality at this point truly irritate me. yes there is privilege in being a man even if you're black. yes there is privilege in being white even if you're queer. literally basics man
Just so we’re clear:
Republicans are celebrating blocking millions of women from voting if their married name doesn’t match the name on their birth certificate.
do not let the government fool you. they absolutely do owe you functioning systems, they owe you clean water, they owe you access to housing, they owe you opportunities to work, they owe you dignity. that’s within their constitutional mandate, that’s their purpose and their duty.
really disturbing how little people seem to be reacting to the human trafficking concentration camps. a congresswoman showed up to try to inspect one of them and ICE attacked her and are trying to put her in prison for 17 years about it. yall are the germans that "didnt know"
