Street vendors sell mangos with Tajin in the summer at my university, I remember in undergrad

I know this thread was a while ago, but thanks for sharing about something you enjoy

So... I've passively looked for Tajin for 7 months and it's simply not in any stores near me lol

But a friend's Costco has it, and they gave me a jar to take home. I learned some of its history and figured out a recipe that works for me and the ingredients I have on hand ❤️

exactly, *this* is how "herd immunity" is supposed to work

They did this with the George Floyd protests, and they do this with every protest. It's their playbook - splitting us up, spotlighting chaos. And fortunately, people are noticing and standing up.

"it's so confusing and dangerous"

That's the narrative they're pushing, so we have to remind people, as we go about our days, we're protesting peacefully for everyone's due process, for transparency, and the ridiculous escalation is part of that narrative
The protests are peaceful until police arrive.

It has BEEN this way—and we’ve tried convincing y’all of this fact since Black Lives Matter protests, literally 5 to 7 YEARS pre-2020; but White America STILL believes all you see on your fear-mongering, billionaire-owned news outlets of choice. #ICE

I wonder if they realize about 1 in 7 US Marines nationwide is from California, and about 1 in 4 is Hispanic or Latino

People tend to envision burly trans women when it comes to the sports talking point. Remember they're trying to ban young kids who transition early, across all sports including chess or darts, and use the bills as a stepping stone for further erasure.

Always good to remind them that constituents are real and not numbers to be cut from a spreadsheet

Thanks for sharing about this. White people often don't even know about multiracial identity, let alone the difference between race & ethnicity. This erasure also impacts academia (data/social sciences), I'll pass this info along.

I've been doing my best to talk with everyone I encounter about all of it. Inviting friends to protests, sharing awareness. Sometimes it's frustrating & isolating trying to get people on the same page. It's so negative, but it's so important.

This felt like April Fools day, but it's Easter Monday 😕 NYT is a poor example, when claiming this system will be based on trust and isn't top-down

This is a caste system that came out of left field, whereas domain verification already communicates verification in a way unique from other platforms

And people of color, students of color, etc. keeps a lowercase C and isn't a synonym for Black people
