2 Hispanic women were approached and harassed by a racist white lady for speaking Spanish in store.

Another white woman who saw and heard this happening immediately stepped in to defend them.

Kamria Trent is the epitome of an ally

1. You don't have to carry a marginalized Identity to stand up for marginalized people.

2. Speaking in your native tongue at this moment at this time is a form of RESISTANCE. Keep speaking it in public.

(Also if you're here, please follow me. One love. One world. PEACE)
If you see Xenophobia, Islamophobia, Racism, Misogyny, Homophobia CALL IT OUT.

You shouldn't have to be a Mexican, Immigrant, Muslim, Black, Woman, or Gay to do that.
Hatred and bigotry thrive because of ignorance, and fear. The powerful make fear to control you and to oppress others. And it is easy to do that when what they want you to fear is something you do not know.

So if you dont know a Muslim, I'm Muslim. More than welcome to follow ❤️

We can afford

A 5.7 billion dollar racist wall and Trillions of Dollars in wars.

What we can't afford

Debt free Education
Healthcare for all
Clean water
Reconstructing Puerto Rico
Paying our teachers like college-educated professionals
Feeding the Homeless
This wall, the ban, separating and caging children from their parents isn't about SAFETY!

Just like the Holocaust, Slavery, Racial Segregation, Japanese internment camps weren't about SAFETY

(And if you're here trying to change the world one friend at a time, plz follow)

The Holocaust was legal. Slavery was legal. Segregation was legal.

People who hid Jews in their homes were criminalized. People who freed slaves were criminalized. People who stood up for equality and justice were criminalized.

Legality is not a guide for morality!
Respect my EXISTENCE or expect my RESISTANCE

Oppressive laws thrive because of ignorance and fear.

If you don't know a Muslim or have a Muslim friend, follow me. I'll be that friend. Don't let hate consume you because of the lies you have been told.

Stand with minorities ❤️
-Slavery wasn't about "SAFETY"

-Racial Segregation wasn't about "SAFETY"

-Japanese concentration camps weren't about "SAFETY"

- Separation of migrant children isn't about "SAFETY"

- Muslim Ban isn't about "SAFETY"

- The wall isn't about "SAFETY"

while “retreat” is often used to mean an all day work session on something like the budget, it appears this time “city council retreat” means the worst, silliest kind of waste of time — ice breakers and trust building exercises
i’m about to bring you blow by blow coverage of an agonizing eight hour meeting. hold onto your hats, friends
charlottesville.org/home/showdocum…
it’s gonna be a long day - from here to the planning commission work session, then the civilian review board meeting. but this should be the last meeting marathon of 2018.

Two months ago I announced to Twitter that I'd be spending less time Twittering, as work commitments had changed. Some misinterpreted this and thought I'd got a new job - that was not the case.

It was the last gasp of my then job.

I was made redundant at the end of September.
Since the end of the month, I've been less active on here as I take stock and find other things to occupy my time. I have considered whether I should re-intensify my Twittering and possibly start blogging on Brexit but I'm not sure. I'm still in a bit of a limbo with regards work
So I'm not sure what I will be doing over the next couple of months. Perhaps a change of direction. People seem to appreciate the stuff I post on here so maybe there's a future in that somehow. I'm really not sure.

"The Blacks must secure the existence of Black people and a future for Black children"
-Not 14 Words

"Because the beauty of the Black woman must not perish from the earth"
-Also Not 14 Words

IT'S OK TO BE BLACK
-NOT #racist #DogWhistle for supremacy

#Censorship #WrongThink
Whites must secure the existence of White people and a future for White children

Is this ONLY #OkIfNonWhite ?

#Censorship makes #WrongThink go away forever. Right?

OR maybe each adult can judge for yourself what is OK, what is TRUE?

BE AN ADULT.

poll for #women #writers: You routinely write about serious issues in your field (e.g., science/health). Another writer, in the middle of his critique of your position, encourages readers to check out an unrelated article you wrote about your dating experiences. You assume he is:
Now that the poll is complete, I can formally respond to Jesse Singal's latest accusations of me: juliaserano.blogspot.com/2018/07/on-jes… - feel free to share, as god knows he's been spreading lies about me far & wide...
here's the TL;DR version of my response. for the record, Singal wasn't singling me out as being "hysterical and opportunistic" - that insult was also intended for people who believe me (e.g., @nberlat & @ZackFord, who he called out in the same Twitter thread)

Jimin wouldn’t allow himself to be trapped on his shift for any longer than necessary.

“Go, go,” Taehyung hurried, taking Jimin’s apron to let him slip out from behind the counter more quickly. Jimin decided he could get the grounds out from under his nails at home.
This morning had been absolute hell. Two girls ordered seven drinks, Jimin made them all only for them to say they were supposed to be with almond milk.

‘Oh I’m so sorry,’ was he all he had legally been allowed to say at the time, while his mind had far more colorful ideas.
With Jimin officially clocked out, he slumped on the customer side of the now empty service counter, looking to his friend with tired eyes.

“You wanna grab dinner later?”
“I can’t, remem—?
“Ah, right...”

Jimin’s disappointment vanished as Taehyung suddenly smiled to himself.

•Racist white woman calls Esteban Guzman “rapist, liar, & drug dealer” only b/c he is Latino.
•She calls him “little boy” & mocks Spanish w/gibberish sounds.
•These racist talking points parrot 45’s demonization of immigrants.
#WhereWasSheRadicalized?
This is another reminder to POC: Record these racist incidents and let’s keep exposing this bigotry.

Don’t let racists feel comfortable. Since they’re so open about their hate, let’s make them accountable for their hate.
#RecordRacism
White Allies: Here are 3 ways you can help POC combat racism:
•Listen. Learn from POC in your circle about what struggles they face
•Elevate POC. Dont speak for us—instead open doors for us to speak
•Money talks. Support orgs that combat racism & hate w/your wallet
