I’m the blood of the Indian
I’m Latin American, I’m mestizo
We are made of all colours
And of all trades
And if we take into account centuries
even if it hurts our neighbours
We are more American
Than all of the gringos
Or these days, perhaps you may not…👇
Elections have consequences.
Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.
"Masculine Energy"

Old faded facade of a Sears department store - the letters have been removed, but the outlines remain in the concrete
Earth is littered with the ruins of empires that believed themselves to be endless…
America sold its soul for the prospect of .99 off a carton eggs.
What hurts the most is people looked at the choice of a prosecutor and a teacher versus a felon and shill and chose the felon.
A nation is be judged not by on how it exults its bullies and strongmen, but how it treats its most vulnerable. Like Japanese Americans, the trans community never did anything to deserve the kind of hatred and targeting they have received.
We have a moral obligation to stand by them now. /4
Worse still, those who should have stood by us when we became easy scapegoats fled or grew silent. And that led to an environment where the government could put us into camps.
It was the abandonment by our friends that stung the most.
And we can’t let that happen again. Not on our watch. /3
I would like to speak up today for the trans community.
You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1
And the 3 humans I love most in the world ♥️💜🩷

Damn, Zelenskyy.
What a leader. 🔥
He’s everything Trump is not.

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge”
Whtvr you do put your health first. Get out and breath fresh air. Go for a walk. Soak in the sun. Take care of yourself mentally. Physically , Do not let nobody disturb your inner peace. Don't go back and forth with Bigots.
You are corecct, They ARE insane. There are NOT good people on both sides 😳
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but as we brace for whatever is coming next, remember to secure your oxygen mask first.
I’m not ready yet
