This matters.
The fallout will poison everyone’s life and future in the end. But it’s very clear that the poisoned arrow’s tip is aimed specifically at African-Americans.
Trump couldn’t get the Central Park Five killed so now, he’s gonna try and kill the country.
So we’re going to send actual DEI truths to this email right???
Years ago, I did a tour of @washingtonpost.com & they talked abt how at its core it was a local paper. Yes, it covers global & national stories but with a unique lens to the area. Made me fall in love with the paper & a subscriber.
Bezos & lackeys fail to understand what makes WashPo special.

New year, commitment to post more here.
Ballot measures were a bright light in 2024 but the work doesn’t stop after we win. We must protect the will of the people and this important tool. Check out @ballotstrategy.bsky.social’s new @convergencemag.com piece!
1st time I broke down was the morning after the election while thinking through how I would tell my then 16 year old Black daughter that he won.
My tears both times were for them. I’ve kept it moving.
Resolute & clear: Protect the ones I love & build a world worthy of them. Make it irresistible.
Two days after the election my mom texted me asking me if she had to start walking around with her passport. I immediately called her & asked why she asked.
She said because she can’t hide being Latina. Her body & voice will give her away. It was the 2nd time after the election that I broke down.
Woke up from a nightmare. It was the day after the inauguration. I had to go to the US Customs building to verify my citizenship. I couldn’t remember one thing (a random doctor’s visit before I came to the US). I was detained.
Clearly I’ve internalized this fear without knowing. #ThisIsAmerica
Shoutout to the Alaska groups who fought hard to stop the RCV repeal. Another example of why it’s so important to make sure every voter is counted. #2024Elections
This is some nasty work. And on Trans Day of Remembrance no less.
Let's be clear, this isn't about restrooms at all. This is about grinding down the spirit of trans folks and erasing us from public life. It will not, can not continue. And cis folks of good conscience need to gather your folks.
“No one is coming to save us.”
Dear trans folks,
We have lived, thrived, and survived for generations without the cosign of silly politicians. And we will continue. They will never extinguish our light.
Honestly, truly, fuck anyone who tells you that you don't belong.
Yup. Found that out yesterday. 😂
NYC is on fire because Eric Adams took a hatchet to the Parks Department budget, firing 51 forestry specialists who remove the dead trees and invasive species most likely to ignite during dry periods.
When voters have the opportunity to defend direct democracy at the ballot, they reject politicians undermining the will of the people.
The ppl have raised wages, protected #reproductivefreedom, expanded healthcare benefits & more.
This scares the GOP. The ppl trust themselves. #peoplepower
Venezuela, TX & DC are home. Family is impt esp chosen fam.
Aspiring bruja. Theater kid. 90s hip hop & rnb every day. Will break out into song. Queer PoC YA fiction is my jam.
Likely to post pics of my border collie, Arepa.
Team field forever. Will do my best to speak truth to power.
Hooray!
Abt me. I’m a queer Latine immigrant. Building a world worthy of my daughter & protecting the ppl I love are my North stars.
I run a progressive org supporting ppl to use direct democracy to build state-based, ppl centered power so all of us live with dignity & thrive and equity & justice prevail.
Okay y’all, I’m doing it - @bsky.app now! Stopped posting regularly on the bird app more than 2 yrs ago but wasn’t ready to find a new space. So many beloveds are here now so why not?
Excited to engage & learn. Tips are welcome. Guess this is my first skeet!
