I’ve been observing this troublesome slogan of “Latinxs for Black Lives” for a few days now. And I understand the importance of a politics of solidarity, but at the cost of continuing the erasure of Black Latinxs is deeply painful. We are more than a festival.

Watch this incredible protest as the indigenous Maori MPs perform a haka to disrupt the vote on a bill that seeks to diminish their rights. Imagine if Western politicians had the same courage to stand up to genocide and shame Israel in similar ways.

My first speech on the floor of the House of Representatives in 2024 and my mom, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee first speech in 1995. Almost 30 years apart, I am humble to be the new Congresswoman from Texas’ 18th Congressional district!

Aotearoa. Where powerful Māori leadership is putting up a challenge to racist neoliberal extremism designed to dismantle the foundational framework of Te Tiriti. This is the leadership that will offer the transformative basis for our global struggles against white supremacy.

It brings me joy to watch white people— be it in Turtle Island, the kingdom of Hawai’i, the whenua of Aotearoa, or anywhere else they lay claim to— lose their shit when the indigenous people of that land make it clear that the land isn’t theirs. Unfettered joy, you hear me?

Haven’t seen a story about how mixed-status families are navigating this moment. None of the strategizing, the denial, or the joking. This limbo that always exists is now closing. There will be a before and an after to mass deportations. Reporters are missing half of it now.

i have seen many posts about octavia e. butler’s 📖 parable of the sower 📖. do people not mention butler’s 📖parable of the talents📖 because 2033 seems too far away, or because they have not read it? i will say this: the parables are partner cautionary texts for a reason.
