All of this, plus the Mexican Repatriation was enacted less than 100 years ago!
Also if you think you're safe becuase you're a citizen - you aren't. This is about the suspicions of a person in power, it's about racism, and you need to understand that Operations Wetback happened, Japanese Internment happened, the Chinese Exclusion Act happened, the "war on terror" happened.

So thrilled to announce that my second collection, DEED has been selected as the winner of the Stonewall Book Awards Barbara Gittings Prize!

This is an award I’ve dreamed for years of seeing my work receive and it means the world that the panel chose DEED for this immense honor

the TikTok algorithm is so good that it even served up the perfect video to act as the background for its ban announcement

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.
