Ah it was deleted but screenshots live forever.
Screenshot of post from Michael J. Stern, USA Today Opinion writer, saying “OMG, who wants to explain to this half-witted Republican member of Congress that most Indians-Hindus don’t eat beef because cows are sacred”. And in his post he included a screenshot from Twitter from “Rep. Jack Kimble”, a satire account pretending to be the Republican Congressmember from the fictional California 54th District, which read, “I’m well aware China has cut off importing our beef. We aren’t the only beef supplier in the world but China isn’t the only huge country either. If they’re going to pivot from us, we should do the same and start selling more of our beef to India.”

At the Bernie/AOC Fighting Oligarchy Tour stop at Gloria Molina Grand Park in DTLA. A new artist named Joan Baez just left the stage, I think she’ll go far. This video was from early this morning, a Latino alt rock band from El Monte called the Red Pears.

Racist shitlibs still making ignorant comments scapegoating Latinos for the Trump victory, assuming the ones who voted for him (American citizens) can’t speak English and of course all have immigrants in their families to worry about.

Multi-generational American Latinos exist. Tell the racists.
Post by BlueSky user mslonib.bsky.social saying “How do we say ‘we told you so but you ignored us’ in Spanish?” in response to a post from George Takei with pointers to avoid being detained by ICE during immigration raids.

Why does this remind me of this scene from OG Dune? Because they literally squeeze this wealth from workers and the tax paying public while we scratch each other’s eyes out over the fucking scraps. Absolute folly.
Image from the 1980’s version of the Dune movie, and the Baron Harkonnen is squeezing the cheeks of the Beast Rabban, and saying “I want you to squeeze and squeeze.” It’s an excerpt from a full quote that says, “Rabban! I place you in charge of Arrakis! It’s yours to squeeze, as I promised. I want you to squeeze, and squeeze, and squeeze. Give me spice!”

Do they wonder why we choose the bear? “Hey, I made a joke about screenshotting and reposting everything you do because you joked about deleting your own posts, isn’t that funny? That’ll show you! Totally not stalkerish or invasive, right? Within my rights, yes? Haha?”

If Dems need some material to consider in pondering Latino outreach that’s not the same anemic attempts as always because you consider us a bloc, I’d recommend three books so far, Finding Latinx and Defectors by Paola Ramos, and Our Migrant Souls by Hector Tobar. More details in the alt text.

So this happened last week on our local LA NBC affiliate. That’s me on the end with the mask. They did a whole story using pics we took registering voters on Natl. Voter Registration Day, I went w/my friend from Riverside Pride. Next thing I know, I’m outed as gay on local news. I’m an ally. 😂🏳️‍🌈🤷🏽‍♀️🫶🏼

At the CADEM Executive Board Meeting in Visalia, the local hosts are excited because it’s the first ever time in the Central Valley. The speakers are educating us about the diversity of the immigrant experience of the valley. Latin America, West Africa, Laos, India, etc. This region is overlooked.
