Which is why the administration is gagging the EPA.

Yeah, I think we are all about to find out just how much power other countries actually have.

People can take it away from me socially by saying “I don’t believe you’re Chicana” and denying me access to Latino/Chicano social communities (outside my family).

Racial identity is a combination of what you know about your heritage and what others assume about it. Mixed race people know this by experience. I have friends who have the same parents (one black, one white), who actually look like each other, except one is dark skinned with kinky hair and the other is light-skinned…

Yeah, if you go popular vote, then all the red votes in California would actually count for something. And that’s like the entire state over 50 miles east of the coast. It’s not the majority of CA voters, but it is a lot of votes.

This is the big issue if it’s the one that pisses him off. We can pay attention to the policy stuff and use this petty shit as a cudgel.

You know he’s not. They aren’t either.

They probably think a plague would wipe out the liberal cities. I wonder if cities (with lots of people but also the best and easiest to access medical care) or suburbs/rural places would be hit the hardest. What’s the historical precedent?

Just think of yourself as the standard bearer of what it means to be human, watch Fox News, and conform to the belief that everything that “just doesn’t sound right” isn’t. It helps if you’re white.

I’m simply taking it in and waiting. I respect the democratic process...and also Lewis. Tremendously.

I’m participating in an anti-racist teaching methods workshop, instead of watching.

Have been reading The Root for a while now. First response to this was...uh oh. Here come the comments section fights.

What did my eyes see?
