I’m not sure why this is a new insight.

“Should “ is a ship that sailed a long time ago. I’m not sure it wasn’t blown up at sea already.,

If Big Orange had gone Ronny Ray-gun did amnesty, followed by outreach and support for Hispanic candidates in key areas they’d have locked in a lot of voters. But, I am guessing the 48% of the Latino vote in the 2024 that he got, isn’t going to be as loyal next time around.

So they did some outreach and so on, but soon found themselves back to old white guys.
On the news I saw another horrible video of a Hispanic family being racially profiled and arrested, including a 1 year old girl separated from her parents. Turns out everyone is a citizen and released ⤵️

This is not supposed to be a 'callout' post or anything, it's just I worked hard to get my name and would like to be referred to as such in the headline lol

In my local community we are doing pretty good with mutual aid at least with food for now. We recently survived a natural disaster without much assistance from the government , so a lot of community support has reflexively emerged. Thankfully!!

If you don’t like the politics of the past start showing up and shaping the politics of the future. Be a voice, be a trusted person in the coalition of resistance. Volunteer, when you can. Take it at your own pace, but push your comfort zone. Solidarity is the best defense against oppression.

Too many Americans are enjoying what’s happening. Those people that aren’t happy need to start showing up in person and building connections and community. Cooperation, solidarity, and collaboration are needed more than ever. Show up at your local organizing meetings, get plugged in.
