The morbid irony of being trans AND latino like 🙃 which one will make me a bigger target is a bet I don't care to make

I can only imagine. As a father who raised a Latino trans kid who is now an adult, I fear for them in so many ways.

I'm glad they've got a parent who cares! It can be tough without that support on top of it all. And hey, you may get to use it as a bonding opportunity, if you're both wanting to challenge things together. 🤣 Solidarity doesn't have to be by blood but it can be!

Agreed. We do tackle things together but I'm always afraid of them being targeted because hate groups have targeted me so much.

The eternal bipartisan plantation program- Create refugees through invasion and sanctions then generate human profits for the police state by imprisoning those wanting to work for a better life instead of a future mortgaged to sugar, oil, gas and stuffed toys.

The cruelty of capitalism, greed, and utter narcissism are written into everything Drumpf does. His cult should all be lined up and (insert your ideas here). I won't miss him when he's gone.

I'm working on a story about the executive orders cancelling DEI efforts and it makes it so much more obvious that all of this is about white male dominance.

What happens if Trump runs out of Latinos to villainize?

He's going after trans people and Black people next. I'm working on a story on the executive orders cancelling DEI efforts because it's clear this is about white male dominance.

Thank you for this work, Arturo. I appreciate the clarity and summary of those 100 executive orders, as depressing as things are getting, independent journalists like you are key to keep our sanity :-).

I appreciate you. I felt this was important considering how much hype there was going to be. It's impossible to make sense of things when everything feels so chaotic.
