Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE.

In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

#BadBunny “Lo Que Le Paso a Hawaii” a song that has ignited conversations about #PuertoRico and #Hawaii, gentrification, displacement, tradition, identity, etc. In 1900-01 approximately 5200 were recruited to work in the sugar plantations. A story of Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the United States.

This is so incredibly sad. Cecelia is a friend and I know so many amazing people like her, who are here, escaping political violence, and working to make a life in the US.
