Thank you @WashDC_NOW for your integrity in this moment, and for being an ally to Black and brown trans and queer folks in DC (even going against @NationalNOW to support our #DecrimNowDC campaign)!
I see National NOW as an irrelevant, outdated relic of white feminism that no longer needs to exist *in this iteration.* It’s clear they cause more harm, particularly to poor women, Black women, Indigenous and women of color and trans women. The stories are so numerous. +
Honestly, the most feminist thing @NationalNOW could do would be to hand over all of their resources to women of color and Black, Indigenous and POC LGBTQ organizations and collectives who are doing truly liberatory gender justice, decolonizing and feminist work.

Black and Indigenous folks from Latin America are very familiar with the anti-Black, anti-Indigenous language Nury Martinez used. We aren't surprised- we hear it from politicians, media, at the grocery store, in school, for some of us, in our own families. Listen to us.
I'm tired of repeating that "Black and Latino are not mutually exclusive", or that "Latino identity does not make you anti-racist", or that "the myth and material consequences of mestizaje is harmful to liberation of Black and Indigenous folks from/in Latin America."
I need y'all to just listen to Black Latine/x folks the first time. This happening during "hispanic heritage month" is not lost on me. When we talk about the violence and erasure that is the colonial project of Latinidad, Nury Martinez does an excellent job of demonstrating it.

Can I offer a piece of insight for #Philanthropy in this moment? Repro justice organizations that you've paid no attention to for the last decade don't need you to swoop in with a sense of crisis today. Organizers knew/know what's at stake—no need to manufacture urgency. (1/5)
As a rapid response fund, we see this in moments of heightened crisis. What often happens is that funders without relationships to organizers end up doing more harm by funding larger, well-known organizations, bombarding organizers with requests for briefings + meetings (2/5)
and overall acting in ways that derail movement strategy. Please listen to organizers right now and what they actually need, and get *consent* to resource the work and organizing that is meaningful to them. also, if you have an endowment, give folks SUSTAINED funding. (3/5)

our 10-month old baby tested positive for COVID today. words cannot describe the sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach when I saw the test results this morning. so that I don’t fall into a pit of despair, I’m going to keep a running thread about COVID in babies. (thread) 👉🏾
there is so little data and information about babies as young as ours, so it really feels like we are figuring it out as we go. have any other parents or caregivers had the experience of caring for a baby under 1 with COVID? I’d love to know what you have learned!
our baby is in daycare. they had a fever last sunday night. COVID protocol for daycare requires a negative PCR test to return. we got them a PCR test on Monday at 7:30am, by Tuesday, they had the negative test and were ok to return (they also had no other symptoms).

I saw a very goofy IG reel of a light skinned Afro-Latina complaining that as a "half Black, half Puerto Rican woman", she wasn't "Black enough" for Black people but wasn't Latina enough because she doesn't speak Spanish. Me tiene harta. 🥴
First of all, for the millionth time, saying you are "half Black, half [insert Latin American nationality here]" is an act of anti-Black erasure. Black is a race, Puerto Rican is a nationality. There are literal, unambiguously, definitively Black people in Puerto Rico RIGHT NOW.
At this point, y'all are ridiculous and being willfully anti-Black. Do y'all say you are half Black and half Jamaican? half Black and half American? You only do that with "Latino" identify because your anti-Black asses refuse to acknowledge that Blackness exists in Latin America.

When you're Afro-Latina from Miami, you are deeply familiar with the racism, white supremacy, classism, anti-Blackness, individualism and disdain of socialism (while benefiting from it) that emboldens Miami Cubans to act a fool like this. the selfishness and lack of solidarity +
with other immigrants and refugees is hard to watch. yet, Cubans make up 9 of 10 people in Miami receiving welfare set aside for refugees. While other immigrants are barred from collecting aid for their first five years and undocumented folks are not eligible at all. Where many +
folks go wrong though, is assuming that Cubans are "voting against their own interests." No. white Cubans' (and white Latinidad) interests are perfectly aligned with with the current (but not for long) administration: white supremacy, individual wealth. this is not a surprise +

I just had my first COVID-19 test done today in Prince George's County, MD. I have no symptoms, and have been seriously quarantining and socially distancing since March - only masked outdoor activities in small groups, no travel, no eating out, etc. A THREAD. #COVID19
I am also very immunocompromised, including having a high risk of inflammation-related disorders and asthma, among other things (which overlap with COVID-19) which has made me extra nervous. ok, COVID-19 testing pros:

No line!
Drive-up COVID test!
Testers were really nice!
I got tested with @keondra. We stayed in the car with our masks on. I was driving, so we had two people asking us questions; one person asking her things, and one person asking me things. my tester starts by asking me for ID! I overhear keondra's tester asking the same
