Brown American mom and artist. Formerly an engineer with a Ph.D., now steeped in anti-fascist studies, art, and living on the edge.
Does anyone ever call JD Vance Serpikid?

Free speech is only for American men.

Mahmoud Khalil should have shaved and changed his name long ago, plus stopped blabbing about Palestine (it doesn’t even exist) … if he wanted to not be deported from America. #sarcasm but not really.

Hey Putin: release the Epstein files. Also, how intimately did you know Melanija Knavs?

When people are talking about an issue that doesn’t affect them personally, and they say something is COMPLICATED, they are simply choosing evil over good. And they’re choosing evil to maintain their position within the white Christian patriarchy. It’s that SIMPLE. 🚩🚨‼️

What issues? 1/x

Facebook is complicit in Trump’s coup on D.C.!

Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle are full of it. They’re pretending it’s a double entendre between jeans and genes. But a pair of jeans is no Rolex, and nobody ever treated jeans as an heirloom. All the ad is talking about is genes. It’s unvarnished eugenics.

White supremacy is dumb AND evil.

The Wall Street Journal is manufacturing consent for Republican rule after removing Trump.

Say 2000 citizens living near each major American airport signed up for a shift per week of 5-10 drivers, drove together to the airport, then circle slowly like they’ve never been to an airport before. You’d have utter chaos and delayed flights all week. 10x24x7 =1,680. It’s been done before.

Lance Boelter is being described as a Ph.D. to imply he’s an intellectual — his degree was in “Learning and Service” from a private Catholic university.

He ran “Praetorian Guard Security Services” with his cop brother and his wife.

Again with the “born here”, erasing the most devoted citizens, the transfer students to America’s ivory tower.

“War is hell” is a heartless mantra of people who are sure they will never be bombed.

Law enforcement does not want to inflict violence on straight white Americans. The cost is too high.

To keep everyone safe, put the privileged on the front lines, and brown & Black & visibly LGBTQ protestors protected from cops by heroic white volunteers.

Wall of Moms showed us how in 2020. 1/x

It’s a mystery

I did, but my protest days are over. (Yeah, it’s two U.S. flags stitched together and worn as a sari.)

Hmmmm

Listen, it’s obvious.

When white people wave other nations’ flags, it’s cultural pride.

When brown people wave other nations’ flags, they should go back where they came from.

P. S. California WAS Mexico, but nobody white cares about that.

Oh yeah?

America, how I trusted you when I was a little girl overseas. I watched Beverly Hills Cop and assumed you were post-racial, full of goofy Officer Friendly types, eager to help and solve crimes. Now, the whole world is watching livestreams from LA, and knows that movie was sinister propaganda.

I’m the same age as Musk.

Really proud that I live in the same harsh world as him, and I survive without taking illegal drugs, despite being several billions poorer.

Look at the news coverage one white woman got by willing to be arrested by force. By refusing to walk under their command.

Impeach + Remove today was organized by Brad Newsham, who has created human banners for decades.

I was there, middle left on the inside circle.

We like politicians who don’t get clowned by Trump.

This photo is worse than Trump releasing nudes of Gretchen Whitmer, and will have the same effect. Big mistake by Big Gretch.

It’s terrible that Cory Booker couldn’t name Palestinian suffering in his 25 hour speech, even when it comes easily packaged with collateral damage to our constitution. He rightly named Edan Alexander, but he wouldn’t name Mahmoud Khalil. It’s heartbreaking to confront this.

Delighted that Elon Musk couldn’t influence a Wisconsin election even after spending $25 million, giving two $1 million illegal bribes and making a doped-up personal appearance in Green Bay.

Congratulations to Justice Susan Crawford.
