I have really great news to share! The court date next week was successfully moved to virtual! I met this family in Baltimore after they first fled 🧊 raids in NY back in January. Their court date next week was set in NY, where, as we have seen, people are being detained right after their court appearances in the court house. Please help continue to keep this family together. 🦋 Their elementary aged child depends on them. Their lawyers monthly payment plan is set to $500 and this family is already struggling to meet basic needs. 🙏

Without your help, they wouldn't have been able to make this happen! Thank you!

Update: a lawyer has been secured for the parent! $1000 was paid today, the total is $7k for the parent. We are looking for a more affordable lawyer for their child to begin paper work. Fingers crossed this attorney can get their court date to be virtual. Ty for your help 💫 Keeping hope alive.

Earlier this year I met a family I have been helping out. Many of you helped raise rent funds which helped them secure a room for rent. Since then, I updated you that a parent was detained around March and now the other parent is at immediate risk with their court date scheduled for mid July. All resources for legal assistance have been at max capacity, finding themselves in this terrifying situation without support and at risk of being separated. This may be my final ask for this parent, and I'm dreading the possibility of them being detained at court. If you can't help, please share. Anything helps.

Note this is a different family from the GoFundMe.

If in some form I am retaliated against, it's because I'm speaking up on human rights abuses and injustices against the oppressed.

Happy Father's Day to this yt boy right here. My Dad. Here are my parents in Nicaragua. This anti-imperialist protestor and father helped some of my family members cross the border. He was a real one and one of my most present ancestors. Remember, the border crossed us and this is a settler colonial regime that does nothing but steal and claim and erase, just like Israel. Google it.

Pride parade Baltimore with friends, family, teachers and neighbors. Loved to see the no pride in genocide protestors and support for Palestine. Loved to see that one protestor shouting "Donnell should be here!", facts. Didn't care for the politicians high fiving the crowd, they too are silent and complicit. Didn't care for BGE lmao, lower your prices yo. Loved seeing children supported and seen.

Being a Mom is the best thing that happened to me ever. I love my babies, they are what I live for and they are the coolest human beings that I have the pleasure of raising. 🖤 Happy mother's day to all the moms, caregivers, those who play a motherly role with mucho serving, and I'm holding a special place for those who are grieving not having a mother or a mother that has passed on, or maybe just had a shitty mom cause those exist too. Happy mother's Day to all the Mothers in Sudan, Congo, Palestine and all over the world. Mother Earth and ancestor mommies too. We Moms are a fucking force. ✨✨✨

I'm taking the fam fossil hunting today!

This original artwork is for sale! I painted it in 2021, it's gay, it's ancestral, and it's delicious. I'm applying it to a show, but wanted to give you a chance to purchase it first. DM if interested, more details: 11x17, Acrylic on Canvas.

💭 Graffiti provides a voice to marginalized communities that may not have access to traditional platforms. Artists can share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences through their artwork, expressing dissent, identity and social issues. Some graffiti artists use their work to express social injustices, such as racism, inequality, and police brutality. "Whoever died from a rough ride?"

I have a pretty big announcement. My painting Cintli, Corn, Maiz will be on permanent display at the Walters Art Museum's new exhibition Latin American Art, Arte Latinoamericano. I will be there on the grand opening day with fellow contemporary artists and contributors. I hope to see you there as well! It would mean a lot.

Repost: @thewaltersartmuseum "The countdown begins ⏰ We're only one month away from the opening of Latin American Art / Arte Latinoamericano! 🎉

On May 17, immerse yourself in works from 40 cultures, spanning more than four millennia. Latin American Art / Arte Latinoamericano is also an exceptional opportunity to see exciting recent acquisitions of contemporary art for the first time."

Happy May Day. Here is an excerpt of my keynote at UMBC today. Thank you @lhfa_at_umbc for having me. I love talking to students, and I hope my talk was insightful and thought provoking. Thank you @lauraclime for inviting me to join you and the kids today!

"Today, we gather on May Day, which is also known as International Workers' Day, a celebration of labor and working-class solidarity around the world. May Day has roots in the labor movement, calling for better working conditions and fair wages. It reminds us that while we celebrate the contributions of immigrants, we must also honor their hard work and the systemic challenges and discrimination they face in seeking fair treatment in this country.

May Day always reminds me of my father. I didn't grow up with my father, since he passed away a few years after we moved to the states, but I found a picture of him protesting on May Day in Nicaragua in the 80s. When we moved to the states and lived in Miami, he became an ESOL teacher, ESOL meaning English for Speakers of Other Languages, I found a letter he wrote to Miami Dade College still in his work suitcase, where he was advocating for newer, more enriching materials for his Spanish speaking students. I wonder if he'd have a hint then, that so much of my life would be dedicated to his and my mothers beliefs and sacrifices. Through war and migration, and starting all over again, his memory and honor would not be in vain.

... May Day serves as a powerful reminder of our collective strength. When we stand together, immigrants and allies, we become a formidable force for change. Let us lift our voices for fighting against discrimination and exploitation wherever we find it. We must advocate for the rights of all workers, especially those who are the most vulnerable. We must ensure that all immigrants have access to fair wages, safe working conditions, and paths to citizenship. Today out of privilege, I will continue what is now tradition, and will be protesting on May Day for Immigrant rights with my two children in Baltimore City"

HBD Berta 🖤

Repost words from @centam_beauty Happy Birthday to Berta Cáceres! 💙🌱 🙏🏽💐

Berta is a hero for Lenca/ Indigenous communities worldwide. Today she would have celebrated her 54th birthday. On March 3rd, 2016 she was assassinated by the U.S.-funded Honduran military & corporate hitmen. She organized a successful campaign to stop the construction of a large dam in Honduras.

To this day, many still feel & look towards her guidance, inspiration & resiliency. Her legacy & fight continues.

¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Berta! 🎈💙✨🙏🏽💐

When I used to do watercolor art. You all were buying them as soon as I painted them. Thank you 🥲 It was a tough time, and painting was my therapy. I didn't make and sell prints of these. They were one of a kind. I hope they are still bringing you joy. Do you see any of yours?

He's at it again. Disparaging and continuing smear campaigns against Latina/x women, positioning himself as a Latinx savior and Latino himself when he isn't! @latinasenbaltimore has been collecting testimonies (anonymously) about his racism, sexism and defrauding of the Latin community in Baltimore. Share yours anonymously/safely with them.

He continues to be the loudest and given platforms to inflate himself and his image. DO YOUR RESEARCH before working with him and his organizations! I am amplifying voices of those scared to be public as he has a reputation for disparaging and coming at Latinas.
