Sorprendida con las protestas y marchas en favor del #HandsOff si hay #latinos en EE.UU que lean esto y quieran compartir cómo están viviendo toda esta situación con el gobierno allá, les leo

#CPR and Stop the Bleed Training for the Community / Para la Comunidad

Last night marked my second initiative, aimed at addressing the disparity in bystander CPR rates within Black and Latino communities in Boston, by connecting them with the #Boston EMS #Community Initiative team.

Thanks to the collaboration of La Sala, Tag Associates, and Boston EMS, vital CPR and Stop the Bleed training is now accessible in Nubian Square, Roxbury.

"In the vast, misunderstood region that straddles, in Texas, 1,254 miles from El Paso to the Gulf, creatives are taking control of their own stories."

In addition to being a Black nerd in the 1960s, here's another source of childhood trauma, never fully healing because, the same thinking behavior is still widespread.

The ideology of being Latino is rooted in a colonial past just like the word itself, so there is still this automatic anti-Blackness that comes with darker-skin and what is presumed more African features and being told, “you don't count.”

I added the removed reminders to my Gmail calendar. I hope it is "sustainable".

It is possible to be authentically #BIPOC and still aspire to gain the benefits of #whiteness based on the racialized class hierarchy, its exploitation, extraction, literal consumption of a virtually permanent underclass.

“This is worse than Cuba”: Thousands of Mobile Home Residents in #Miami Fight Eviction by #AffordableHousing Developer

December 7, 2024, By Adam Weaver, Robin Young, and Juan Verala Luz of the #BlackRoseAnarchistFederation via #IGD

"A new fight over housing has erupted in the Miami suburb of #Sweetwater, culminating in local police tackling and arresting an elderly resident leader. On November 13th thousands of residents living in the massive 900 unit Li’l Abner Mobile Home Park received a surprise notice taped to their doors, on top of garbage bins, and strewn around in dark puddles on the property, announcing they had only months until they would be displaced from their homes. Those who were aware and could understand these notices quickly spread awareness to those who didn’t or couldn’t, as soon residents will have nowhere to go.

"Rental prices in Miami-Dade County have skyrocketed by 58% over the past five years and the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment is now over $3,300 per month according to Rent.com. The population of the park is almost entirely multi-generational, working-class Latino immigrants, with a significant number of them being elderly and disabled residents living on fixed incomes who find the park to be one of the few affordable options left in the region."

"Much of the mainstream media coverage of anti-trans legislation has focused on families of trans youth that have been forced to flee their home states. Often left out, however, are the stories of subterranean survival from the invisible majority of young trans Texans, mostly youth of color, who can’t leave."

Another thing about the devastating #usaelection2024 result...

MSM especially #cnn #msnbc and similar are dissecting the #democraticparty campaign and #harriswalz polling disaster. Pinning the #USAElections loss on door knocking or advertising or #wokeness or #transcommunity or #blackvoters or #LatinoVote or the wind coming from NW or .. or .. or ..

IF #HARRIS HAD SAID WORD FOR WORD EVERYTHING TRUMP HAD SAID. IF she had swayed and danced to Ave Maria. IF she had talked exactly the same about Hannibal Lector, sharks, bacon, boats ... IF she had faked oral sex with a microphone. If she'd voiced every single word of nonsense SHE STILL WOULDVE LOST.

Pinning the election loss onto communities who have *always needed support* and *will continue to need support* is both cruel and pointless.

You cannot be "too woke" ppl, bc being woke is about kindness and empathy. And God knows the marginalised communities need and deserve that. Especially now. Especially when news networks are looking to dump the blame somewhere.

So why did she lose????
Simply put because SHES A WOMAN.

And WAY more than their hated of #Trans, #LGBTQI+ , #Blacks, #Latinos, #Asians, #immigrants (legal and illegal ) THESE WHITE ENTITLED SUPREMACIST MEN ABSOLUTELY HATE WOMEN, EXCEPT AS PLAYTHINGS TO SHAG OR BREED WITH.

And they have convinced young and impressionable men (and some utterly blinkered women) that a woman is not capable of anything, except shagging breeding and serving males. And that includes the VP.

Currently America has a majority of just-not-very-nice people who just want a supersized version of The Jerry Springer Show with Trump as host and Harris as the punching bag.

I suspect we'll be reading lots of ""I never thought leopards would eat MY face" stories now, sad to say.

"After winning historic # of Latinos,Trump names as border czar man who told 60 Minutes he would avoid family separation in mass deportation by also removing US citizen kids w/undocumented parents. (There are 4m such Latino kids.)"

I'm looking at US media reports on a impeding progrom against 10mil plus people in the world's so called freest country and everyone is resigned to it. Very soon we will see businesses being attacked by mobs backed by police cuz to find people to deport the have to do mass sweeps and when citizens start fighting back the police will be outnumbered and mean brownshirts from the right will have to be mobilized with state backing #uspol #immigrants #trump #latinos
