I wrote about Indigenous voices and foodways in Southern California. I would be really grateful if you gave it a read.

Indigenous resistance has been constant for centuries, its power is one way to envision a way forward in this country and on this Earth.

Indigenous Voices (and Foodways) in Southern California
In dark times, it is worth stepping back and following the lead of indigenous resistance, for there are centuries of experience dealing with the evils of settler colonialism.

Does anyone know a nice Salvadoran home business that makes tortas hula hula on weekends (or any day) in their yard? The family that made the one shown here has closed their business unfortunately.

What an embarrassment. Sincerely hope any military being called up for this are finding their way out with GI Rights Hotline. And if not, just go throw yourself in the Pacific Ocean.
