It's worth remembering that since the United States v. Brignoni-Ponce (1975) Supreme Court decision, the Border Patrol was allowed to use the appearance of "Mexican ancestry" as a reason to search a car. There is a long history of SCOTUS-approved racial profiling.

Last week the Dominican Republic Foreign Ministry invited us for the inauguration of the monument to honor the Cocolos & their contributions to the DR. A book was published with essays on their history, including one I co-authored with Humberto García Muñiz. @uprrp.bsky.social

"First American Pope, Leo XIV, addresses the world", reads the @cnn.com headline. How about "First U.S. Pope"? Is Argentina in the Pacific? The navel gazing U.S. nationalism that allows for Trump's "Gulf of America" antics is more widely shared than USeans wants to admit... Therein is the problem.

I've previously said that the problem with Donald Trump is not just him but his enablers & silent bystanders. Fine if MSNBC praises Harvard for their "NO" to the bully. Reminder: years ago, Rev. Faith Green Timmons in Flint did just that & put him in his place. Is that simple, one person at at time.

#1 - Unequal Sisters (1990) was one of the first books to make race & ethnicity central to the study & teaching of women’s history. Its impact was considerable. (now in its 5th ed).
