My Loves, in my commitment to learning and sharing through #studieswithyou , I finished reading We Gon’ Be Alright: Notes on Race and Resegregation written by Jeff Chang @zentronix.bsky.social . This book helps us understand how we got here. It is a must read!

My Loves, I invite you to expand your understanding and perspective of the US Mexico Border. Check out the trailer for 5 shorts called the Border Futures Films I produced, directed, and wrote. We’ll be releasing all five films soon!

Recently, Meta decided to end its third-party fact checking program, paving way for more divisive rhetoric and outright lies to spread and erode democracies around the world. @mariaressa.bsky.social reminds us that collaboration will help us win and to not become the monster to fight the monster.

My loves, I am committed to deepening my learning and studies. Now is the time we drink from the deep wells of knowledge and wisdom of our elders and our ancestors.

Here’s some powerful quotes from How to Stand Up to A Dictator: The Fight for Our Future by @mariaressa.bsky.social

This book is an essential read for this existential moment we are in. Thank you @mariaressa.bsky.social for your courage and for inspiring us to stand together and stand up against fascism.
