The distinctively American language of politicized white evangelicalism this woman speaks is only about 50 years old. It was still considered a fairly embarrassing element of the GOP coalition in 2012 when it manifested in the form of Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann. Now it's the only note.

I can’t believe I wrote this 8 years ago and it’s only worse now. I still think this is one of the most important things I ever reported and I’m thankful @juliorvarela.com let me publish it. www.latinorebels.com/2018/05/03/h...

There’s no need to mask abusers as heroes. There’s no use for monsters in the movement. Listen to this convo with with @rod.pocho.online and I on @elpochcast.pocho.online

ALSO thanks to @1stworldchicano.bsky.social for joining me on this one

NEW: Like many of you, I found the revelations about César Chávez’s sexual abuse of Dolores Huerta, Ana Murguia, and Debra Rojas absolutely devastating. For @prismreports.org, I wrote about the importance of grappling with Chávez’s true legacy—both as as a civil rights leader and a rapist.

On this episode we talk about Cesar Chavez in a brief historical context since it was clear to me so many people talking about him don't have any and then we discuss his indefensible actions and how disappointing some Chicano's reactions have been podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

New piece from @laloalcaraz.bsky.social

Perfectly said.

Cesar Chavez was an abuser, rapist, pedophile, monster of a man. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/u...

As a historian, we have read the 2010s books by Matt García and Miriam Pawel. they detailed a rage-prone, paranoid, & morally lacking Chávez. So we knew he was a "complicated man." The allegations in this article are way worse than I expected. We need to reckon with his abuse. support the victims.

Tear down the statues, rip his name off the walls, take down the streets signs.

Some of us have been saying the same thing for years as researchers yet, journos have not moved from the same narrative. Wanna bet nothing changes religionnews.com/2026/03/11/l...

Let them eat ballroom.

the Influencer Administration. they see the job as creating content, flying first class, and cheating on their husbands and wives. the only part of the gig that might require some real elbow grease is the immiseration of people they don’t like.

UT Regents hell bent on erasing Latino history in Texas and "both side"ing stupidity. Sad state of affairs for Texas colleges... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I honestly think one reason Millennials are so angry about all this is that many of us grew up during the brief period in American history where the official line was that we had won history *because* of our values, and most of us actually internalized that.

Donald Trump is not popular. Donald Trump was the least popular person to run for president in US history. Donald Trump lost the popular vote twice. Donald Trump’s approval rating has never been above 50% Donald Trump is not more popular when Gallup stops tracking presidential approval.

Nobody: Kid Rock: *to baw wid da bah* “Ball with the god that’s sanctified Whose blood covers sinners like me.” So we can all blame Bad Bunny for not getting to hear those bars. #ThanksObama

this reminds me of working at NBC in 2017 and attending a "Diversity Event" that turned out to be hosted by Tom Brokaw (?) where he said "let's face it a lot of the Ferguson protestors were thugs" and I raised my hand and was like "is this event not totally bizarre to anyone else" lol

The LLM promises that "you'll never have to think alone again." The LLM will think for you. But, if "I think, therefore I am" is true--then isn't the LLM trying to take away the one thing that makes you, you?

Texas A&M claims it has “seamlessly completed” its Spring 2026 course review. That statement is false. Multiple courses addressing race, gender, and sexuality are still under review with faculty facing pressured to censor well into the semester. Texans deserve the truth, not spin.

1) Krist Noem out 2) Dissolve the agency 3) No more private prisons

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

Following the Kent State massacre in May 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 58% of Americans thought the shootings were justified. The night *before* the killings, Ohio's GOP governor described the student protesters this way: "They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America."

Senators posting like they can't actually Defund ICE. Do it, cowards.

👇👇👇

This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.

ICE does not have authority to detain witnesses. For all practical purposes, these people have been kidnapped.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

my personal feelings about ICE agents in church is that the House of God is open to all. But I'd also say that if you do not call the ICE agents in your church to repent of their evil then you forfeit the right to be mad if other people do it for you.

There you have it; the Trump admin allows ICE lawyer James Rodden to stay on the job. His personal social media account praised Hitler, supported white nationalism, and said that America started going downhill the day that Lincoln was elected.

i’m sure ICE guys with their guns and masks fancy themselves big brave men, but when you see real, honest courage it knocks you on your ass. it’s a glimpse of something holy.

Sunday Taquitos #6: “Your papers, please.” Art by Ivan Ehlers.

A total rout in the Miami mayoral, in a race that had been highly nationalized (Trump endorsed the loser). The Dem (Higgins) over-performed 2024 presidential in predominantly Cuban (+8), non-Cuban Hispanic (+9), Black (+9), and White (+11) precincts-- over-performance across the board.

College students: We oppose genocide! MAGA: DEI has turned colleges into woke indoctrination factories! Also MAGA: Calibri is a DEI font.

The real ones will know.

#SCOTUS denies a stay of execution to Alabama death-row prisoner Anthony Boyd, over *quite* a dissent from the three Democratic appointees, written by Justice Sotomayor, about the problems with nitrogen hypoxia as a method of execution: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Not only does El Paso have a superior monument than Huntsville, but they also have the superior college football team. UTEP, the Harvard of the Borderland, sleeps as winners tonight.

I'm gonna tell my kids that this was my 2013 Subaru Outback.

If you want to understand propaganda you have to realize that what we call "reality" is really just mutually agreed upon hallucinations. Our sense of reality is easily manipulated by the creation of intersubjective hallucinations. They create "truth" that serves the interests of the propagandists.
