Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

I think the next national protests should come in the form of a bunch of people showing up to ice raids dressed as ice, complete with face masks. Then just start getting in the way like the three stooges.

Every generation has had a term for this endeavour:
Moonlighting
Supplemental Employment
Second Job
Side Gig
And now:
Polywork
What hasn’t changed is why it’s needed and how the wealth gap persists despite it.

What began as an open invitation to our neighbours, to participate in the “NO BUY ‘25” movement has turned into a community event of surprising proportions. We are trying to buy hyper local, we use cash as much as possible, we lend/borrow/share/thrift. We have a Costco carpool. We’re saving oodles.
