It’s not up to the democrats. It is up to we the people. We let this happen. Don’t blame the electoral college, if anything blame the midwest but yeah, the people let this happen.

“an easy fix that carries no possible repercussions from their constituency” you have no idea. This is Texas, the legislature keeps a close eye on them and a closer hand on their budget. You have no idea.
Well I severed ties with a woman that did not even vote for Donald Trump. She supported Hillary but can’t vote (she is not a citizen) but she has Trump supporter friends and has gotten some of their ideas. My grandpa came to the US undocumented and he was illiterate (he learned to read and write here) and this woman…
Second that. I decided there are limits. I cut off my father from my life. I did not even invite him to my wedding. These years without his horrible voice telling me I will never amount to anything have been the best.
I said the same this morning about that NYTimes OpED by Flake about immigration. I think that guy is terrible but if a US Senator writes an OpED in a national newspaper that seems so heartfelt and makes so much sense well: “well done Senator Flake”
Thanks! From a naturalized citizen. It took me more than a decade. It is not easy.
I think you should be as loud with your feelings as possible. I mean, we all know what Nazis are about. I can’t imagine what holocaust survivors currently living in the US are feeling right now. I think it’s not only Ok for you to speak. We need you to be vocal about this. You were targeted for sure and you need to…
Yes, I like Lila too and yeah mariachi, banda, nortena are not very pro-woman and not even very appropriate in general but I managed to have a selection that I play at home.
Which of their songs shoud I download for my kid? I am very selective of the kind of music I listen to at home because although Semillito does not understand language right now I do not like the songs that are all about “malditas mujeres” y “todas son traicioneras”. It’ll give the kiddo the wrong idea :P. So what…
I think I did have this idea that the north was not only better than the south but better than it actually is. This could have come from history lessons but also from my naively optimistic view of the world. Absurdly I thought that first world countries have learned their lesson about racism a long time ago. This is…
I ust want to say that I am amazed at how many idiots think that Lee and Jefferson Davids were heroes. I am a naturalized US citizen so I did not have to study history in the US while growin up and THANK GOD! Even before I came here I knew that the south was evil, that it was all about slavery and that they lost. I…
Satire thought many civilizations has always played ain important political role. Let’s not dismiss it. For many people who feel despair about the current state of things satire is the only way to process things.
The segnment right before the French elections was pretty good too.
No, honestly that has never happened to me. I ackowledge that this is MY experience. The only times something similar has happened to me it has been in regards to sexism and it usually comes from men, especially Mexican men (which is understandable, being Mexican I know more Mexican men than non-Mexican men). It…
I am not white.
Some times I am afraid to say this out loud but: as a Mexican woman I am also so damn tired of al the navel gazing. I have had to endlessly educate white people on matters of immigration yes and it was surprising to me to learn that I have to do it but I still do it because expecting to find the perfect white ally…
I for what is worth am very interested on what you have to say. I am Mexican for what is worth.
Donate if she has enough money. She can donate to organizations that work on behalf of groups she does not belong to like Black Lives Matter, NAACP, United We Dream, etc. I am not a white woman but I still try to read as much as I can about the oppression that different groups experience in America and to read…
He has been ruder to the PM of Australia and the PM of Montenegro than he has been to the KKK.
I have never been to Germany but I have heard they handle these issues better than us. I am really curious to learn more about their system which specifically bans hate speech. Germany does not seem to me like a repressive state. I really think we should start considering modeling some of our hate speech laws after…
