I’m offering a lightly used set of regalia in UC Berkeley colors to a junior faculty member, preference for a mom and 1st gen scholar. DM me your details— I’ll ship for free.
In hetero dating is mirroring and impacting community organizing. How we intimately connect sexo-affectively repercutes in the efficiency of the community networks that are our first front of defense against state violence. Maybe this is a good time to take the Revolution seriously in our beds.
Of the power embodied by white supremacist masculinity. It is not the first time that I have heard this perspective. Some young organizers from immigrant assistance initiatives in my own community have shared similar impressions. It seems that the lack of care and connection that many experience...

Desaparecidos, presos políticos, falsos operativos, violación del estado de derecho y la constitución, ¿cómo se llama el cuento?
This! I'm tired of Academia's elitism, overseeing that the real hit is coming from below with the layoffs and cuts at the state-regional level. The Ivys will comply and survive. However, the public infrastructure that serves working-class and first-generation students will be completely destroyed.
