By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires.

There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom.

Dems need to learn this.

Spanish is not a foreign language.
In other words, Spanish is not a foreign language. It's woven all through the history, culture, and communities of the United States, especially the Southwest, California, and Florida. You cannot name the most important parts of California without Spanish.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

i would not recommend reading trump’s unhinged post because all he knows how to do is diminish joy, and bad bunny just created so much of it.

Trickle up economics
Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich.

Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else.

Trickle-up economics.

Public libraries are essential for many reasons. One of the simplest and most subtly important is modeling a transactional system that is almost completely outside of capitalism. Without such models it can be hard to see how the rest of our world operates, because of its ubiquity and pervasiveness.

Qué dices de esto maria corina machado?
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s termination of Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans and Haitians was unlawful, a Ninth Circuit panel found.

It’s the first time an appellate court has ruled on the substance of Trump efforts to dismantle the TPS program.
DHS Unlawfully Ended Venezuelan Migrant Status, Ninth Cir. Says
The Trump administration’s termination of humanitarian protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan and Haitian immigrants violated the Immigration and Nationality Act, a federal appeals court ...

Este jueves 22 de enero en matik-matik Bogotá presento nuevamente a "lxs Beta 9", un noneto de música original fresca, jugando al balance entre las historias y los colores de la música escrita, la espontaneidad de la improvisación, y el rítmo y sabor colectivo con un combo de músicos de lujo.

Beyond pathetic. Both of them.
Especially now with all the abuse of ICE in the US and particularly the way they are treating the people of Venezuela in the US.

Today, each of us needs to ask: are we on the side of Renee Nicole Good, or the masked gestapo agent who killed her because she dared to stand up for what's right?

Less than 11 months until midterm elections.
Enjoy your festivities and then time for Americans to start making sure that these midterms are not only won, but are won with such overwhelming numbers that any attempt by Elon and friends to steal the result is drowned in the flood.

Seriously. If you see someone working extra hard to convince you to go back to X, block that turd. It's not a genuine entreaty... it's not earnest, it's a desperate business move.
Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.

They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Me acabo de encontrar esta pieza buscando gente de Teusaquillo. Qué preciosidad.
A rendition of my piece "Atardecer en Teusaquillo" with our Gallo<>Flórez duo.
A piece originally conceived for a movie, it is now part of the duo's repertoire.
Alejandro Flórez is playing tiple, a traditional Colombian string instrument.
