May 22: On this day, PETA event at the Starck Club (year unknown). @starckclub.bsky.social

Just say no to sports! Go outside, read a book, literally do anything else but support the current "bread and circus" state of affairs.

In the Settler States of America, we're always told that those who "serve" are "heroes" for simply putting on a uniform. As a military veteran, I've never subscribed to that simplistic way of thought. In any case, where are these so-called heroes now? Step up & honor your oaths! Puro pinche pedo!

Dallas used to be called the "City of Hate" but Texas takes the cake as the"State of Hate"!

It’s been a while. How ya been, jelly bean? youtu.be/TRB8-xojXqQ?...

Rewatching for clues that might help explain the current moment.

I copped this 7in by Brujería recently, and all I can say is - synchrocity?! Tis a good day to crank it up. #Mexican #DeathMetal #Grindcore

#OTD 9-5-1964 🪦 Elizabeth Gurley Flynn dies at age 74. Flynn was an organizer for the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), a founding member of the American Civil Liberties #Union, & an #activist for women’s rights, birth control, & women’s #suffrage. #CHICANOLOGY✊🏾 #LATINSKY ✌🏾✌🏿✌🏼 #UNION 💪🏻💪🏿💪🏽

Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.

Good one!

DECLARATION OF CHICANO HERITAGE MONTH We are Chicanos. We are Chicanas. Not the names given to us by elite empires, but the names we reclaimed for ourselves. We are the children of resistance born from native roots and raised through struggles.

I'm not a magical thinker, but they say third time's a charm. #Iwanttobelieve

Texas education continues to decline, some say it's by design. Sounds far-fetched until you see the message atop your school library's database list: "Because of funding changes...some databases...will be expiring soon." On the chopping block -Science, Lit, Environment, Spanish lang journals #Resist

Escuchen raza - The root of our problems is settler-colonialism & white supremacy. Gerald Horne's book, The Dawning of the Apocalypse: The Roots of Slavery, White Supremacy, Settler Colonialism, and Capitalism in the Long Sixteenth Century (2020), is a great read on the matter. #Chicano #Resistance

Gotta have this. Looks like a trip to the vinyl shop is in order.

We can talk about the paper losing its local ownership…But a lot of that is crying crocodile tears…The News’ agenda has rarely been Dallas'…its politics are usually so conservative that even Texas moderates sometimes look like neo-Marxists…So forgive me if I don’t weep hearts & flowers. -Jeff Siegel

This Day in Labor History: July 12, 1917. Mining capitalists and their bought and sold police in Bisbee, Arizona and politicians rounded up anyone they thought might be an IWW member (or if they looked Mexican) and deported them in one of the worst civil rights violations in American history!!!!!

Yes!

Ernesto Ayala and crew, who were recently kidnapped by the gestapo, are now FREE! This was done by relentless people power - your voice matters! Fuck ICE forever!

ICE thugs have kidnapped Ernesto Ayala, a respected Chicano activist, for standing up to the gestapo as they were in the process of terrorizing the community. Fuck these goons!
