As a child, I was put on a train and sent off by the government to a faraway place we’d never heard of. As a survivor of that policy, I am appalled by what governors in TX and FL are doing now. Politicians back then treated us as political scapegoats, less than human. #NeverAgain

"Those of us who have a notebook can hang back a little bit," @NickKristof said, but photographers "show so much raw courage."

Amen to that.

Our President is showing the greatest respect for Mexican-Americans today. Not only was this bust of Cesar Chavez put in the Oval Office... his granddaughter is working in the west wing. So proud of @JulieR2019 and our President. What a difference a day makes!

This was my dad at 17 years old being sprayed by Bull Connor’s hoses in Birmingham, AL at the Children’s Crusade led by Martin Luther King Jr.
Those men were real Patriots— peacefully asking America live up to the words of the Constitution.

1/9 I am a veteran. I volunteered for military service during wartime. So did my father. His generation saved the world from fascism.

50th Anniversary of the Chicano Moratorium, where groundbreaking journalist Ruben Salazar was killed by the police in East LA. Sound familiar? He was the first mainstream journalist to cover Chicanos, and this is his greatest quote. Please share #laloalcaraz cartoons.
