Latino is not a race. Learn about mestizaje and the movement to erase Black and Indigenous people. #latinidad

It’s reported more than Five million Americans were protesting yesterday. I will be curious to see if the “news” networks continue to censor what is going on? American news outlets only report on the current administration and are white washing it as if it’s normal!

Got my nails done today but not a dime will be spent the entire weekend. No snacks, kombucha runs etc. this is big for a Taurus. We love a night time snack. 😂
A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.”

I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

Life is good. New nails, drinking my Red Bull before interviewing a Wampanoag tribal leader about her vision for the future for a local news paper and then I email a local bank about the success of last years Black Children’s Reading Corner. Yes, I am the dream fulfilled. 🥳

More grants!
Okay, I looked into it, and *right now* it relates to the "Grants for Arts Programs, which is what organizations apply to: www.arts.gov/grants/grant...

Even so, I'm sure individual artist grants will be affected sooner or later.
GRANTS FOR ARTS PROJECTS
Grants for Arts Projects is our principal grants category. Grants are available for arts projects of all sizes in a wide variety of artistic disciplines. Deadlines: March 11 and July 10, 2025

The worst thing about Musk's Nazi salute wasn't the laughable way he denied it, or that certain journalists and even the ADL defended it. It's that he proved political figures can be openly Nazi and face no repercussions, as long as they gaslight critics. (But soon they won't even have to do that.)

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...
You Blamed DEI for Hurting Your Career. Now What?
For people who pin their failures on diversity, corporate America’s DEI retreat removes a barrier—or maybe an excuse.
