Currently avoiding my problems.
I’ve become a total pro at that.
10 year old Mariachi singer Sebastion de la Cruz was thrust into the national spotlight last year on America’s Got Talent. Tonight, he was once again seen by the nation as he sang the national anthem at Game 3 of the NBA finals in San Antonio where…

…up to 200,000 people angry with high costs and poor public services took to the streets. Protesters in Rio de Janeiro burned cars and looted buildings as police attempted to disperse them with teargas and rubber bullets.

DACA has never been an end goal, and it’s never been enough. Our communities — which include all undocumented youth, parents, women (domestic workers), so-called “unskilled” workers, LGBTQ and Trans people — deserve more than what the program can ever offer.
We all deserve an immigration reform that does not criminalize our communities, that does not leave out our communities, that does not build more detention centers, that includes health care access, that does not separate families, and that stops putting more money into militarizing the border.
Let’s not stop at DACA.

This is not indie or sexy it’s racist and offensive.“These fictions create confusion when they meet reality, these fictions can also cause harm when they replace reality. Today, there are 4.1 Million American Indians in this country, and many of them [like me] are urban. In fact, New York City has 100,000 American Indian people, while here in Albuquerque there are 33,000 American Indians. Now, we do not look, act, behave or believe in the same things, in fact, there is no one way to look or act, or to be Indian. We are diverse as the five-hundred and sixty-two sovereign nations.” – Professor Nancy Marie Mithlo, Chiricahua Apache, at the TEDxABQ Women Conference speaking about Cultural Appropriation and Hyper-sexualization of American Indian Women
“Native Americans have fought hard to be allowed to have cultural identity — a basic right that was outlawed by the government until relatively recently. So yes, seeing a spray-tan sexy Pocahontas raising her hand in “hau” is more than an annoyance. It trivializes the fight that my parents and grandparents devoted their lives to. It trivializes my life and my sense of self. And I refuse to believe that any decent person would tell me to move on, to get over it, or to be flattered by it. My great-grandmother is not a Halloween costume. This shouldn’t be so hard to understand.”— Itacawin
