Ochoa and Gutierrez being from South Texas is so painfully ironic and way too familiar. The phenomenon of vendidos and boot lickers from the 956 is huge. There is so much internalized racism and colorism in the valley and these men represent the worst of us.

This wild story made me think of a legend I’ve covered on Susto: La Tunda! www.sustopodcast.com/la-tunda/

Can someone draw Santo contra ICE? That would make a sick poster 🔥

Democratic politicians calling for the people to remain peaceful have blood on their hands too. Spineless fucks.
