It’s beyond-official, America (at least, it better be): The Supreme Court of the United States ruled today, in a surprising 6-3 decision, that you may not, cannot discriminate against the queer community in the workplace ever again. You couldn’t yesterday (so fuck you for trying); you cannot today; and you cannot tomorrow – so don’t. […]

San Francisco 6.6.20
It was a week and a day ago. It was a beautiful day (windy, but still gorge). And it was my Peruvian-immigrant pleasure, privilege, and honor to march on and shut down the Golden Gate Bridge in solidarity and action with Black Lives Matter and #SanFrancisco. It was my duty. No justice, no peace. No […]
We need to have a conversation about privacy and decorum, don’t we, 12 years after Mark Zuckerberg roped us and the culture into his soul-sucking Facebook (which does not know its references, either). I mean, what the fuck are we doing? Remember that white lady, you know the one…the one, who recently weaponized her privilege […]
Brava, Madam Mayor!
“Why are we still listening to the president?” And just like that, with that succinct shutdown that doubled as call to think global but act local, Madam Mayor London Breed won yesterday’s effort by any elected official anywhere, IMHO, to drive the City of San Francisco inside and lead us and our communities across the […]
Nuance
Argh…the things you hear Brian Williams say on the cable news, when you do plug back in, as I did a couple of nights ago. Ha. Haha. You guys. Don’t think only about the “economic hit” of things this COVID-19 season, please. Our connectivity, if not our humanity, is being challenged and showcased here – one […]
Impeached!
Donald Trump, the 45th (so-called) president of the United States of America, has been impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives on two articles of impeachment, one for abuse of power and one for obstruction of Congress. This evening, Trump became the third American president to be charged for high crimes and misdemeanors. See? You […]
Impeach
Impeach. If I had one wish, it would be impeach and remove, but let’s def impeach Donald Trump, and let him deal with the consequences of his actions, for a change, OK. Blaze new trail, America, you go. Remind the world why this country was chosen as the home of Lady Liberty. Look, personal feelings aside, […]
A(nother) Comment Re: Donald Trump
Just because a thief wasn’t caught that doesn’t mean they never stole. Just because a traitor says he isn’t one that doesn’t mean he didn’t sell out his country. Wake up, people. Donald Trump dodged the draft back in his day and today, he and his lawyers believe he can get away with murder. He pals […]
Where the Heart Is
Today, the Supreme Court of the United States heard arguments on the Barack Obama-era DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) American immigration policy, which has provided close to 700,000 (known) young DREAMers respite from deportation and, y’ know, a moment in the sun, since the policy was instituted in the summer of 2012. Quelle surprise, […]
Know Your References, Twitter
I think it is hilarious that this tweet I sent on Aug. 7 (a retweet-response to a “fuck you” Rosie O’Donnell had sent to NBC’s Willie Geist, whom someone else was calling out for clutching his pearls after Texan Congressman Joaquin Castro reminded everyone, in perfectly constitutional and constitutionally protected fashion, that, yeah, you know that […]
