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. […]
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 […]
Call it what you want, but do not lie to yourself anymore: History does repeat itself. Once upon a time, not that long ago…2003 was not that long ago, in America, the sexists told the Dixie Chicks to shut up and sing. You know what happened. More recently (two years ago), they simply could not […]
I don’t think anyone has ever been better prepared than us at this moment in time to confront the ongoing COVID-19 and racism pandemics head on and without fear, and finally vibe to the global shift of energy and consciousness each has pushed and thrusted upon the planet.

DĂa 86: La pandemia del COVID-19 que nos tiene en casa por acá, por allá, partout desde marzo – con más y más incertidumbre en unos que en otros lugares – nos está retando. De una u otra manera, claro que sĂ. En Estados Unidos, los efectos y estragos del pecado original americano – 400 […]
As the COVID-19 pandemic, caused by a novel and deadly coronavirus that spread out of China during the winter months, has us looking at Month 4 of a generalized global shutdown, a situation that recently showed signs of potential improvement but has now been compounded by America’s racism, I thought I’d check in on some […]
Pick up a book about our experience – any book by one of us – and as many more about the history of America the nation and America the continent because ethnocentrism is so over. When you limit yourself, you end up limiting others (and ya have, so quit it). Learn about our cultures and […]
Oh, America. If the goal was for us to look at a white man, especially for the world to look at a white American man in uniform, with mistrust and contempt, then mission accomplished, Minneapolis PD. The same goes to every police department in the United States of America that has ever been involved with […]
A week ago today, a clearly deranged Minneapolis police officer killed 46-year-old George Floyd, an unarmed, handcuffed black man born in Fayetteville, N.C., who was already pinned down to the ground – in broad daylight, while knowingly being recorded by witnesses on the street. The cop had and kept his knee on the back of […]
Discrimination of any form is nothing but an excuse not to do a job well. “We the People…” all have the same Bill of Rights. Why haven’t we all been seeking to form a more perfect union, establish justice, and insure domestic tranquility? Why haven’t we been able to provide for the common defense, promote […]
