Racial profiling stood. This is disgusting, insulting, and fascist. The ruling for SB10 this morning is NOT a victory. Cops were given the green light to racially profile and “check your papers”. Every non-brown blogger or news source doesn’t understand how it feels to now be part of an America where your own government just approved you to be questioned,...

They told me that they just found out that Cathy Brennan has outed them to their parents and they may not have a place to stay for very long.

I’m finally reading Angela Davis’ Women, Race, and Class. And lots of thoughts are coming from it. So, expect this to be a series of posts. This is what chapter 1 got me thinking about.

Just because we “don’t hate people of color” doesn’t mean we’re not racist. Racism is subtle, sub-conscious, and...
