#Univision the go-to network for the ladder-kicking, "I'm alright Jack" #aspirational-fascist #Latino.
#Latino backlash grows over Donald #Trump’s friendly #Univision interview
Oh sure. Trump loves #LatinX people. 🙄 But he loves border walls, racist legislation, and cruel policies against LatinX people un poco más. #Despierta
“We demand #Univision conduct a thorough internal review, take corrective measures, and reaffirm its commitment to unbiased reporting and to keeping the #Latino #community informed and up-to-date with facts and truth,” the letter reads. “Unfiltered, unaddressed and unrestricted #disinformation does a disservice to all communities in the #US & will destroy Univision’s reputation as a credible network that informs an important electorate.”

Michael Scherer: #Latino backlash grows over tRump’s friendly #Univision interview: Members of Congress plan to ask for a meeting with a company executive as a famous actor, a Univision founder and Latino rights advocacy groups speak out
"I am asking all my brothers and sisters who are actors, artists, politicians, activists to not go on Univision." — John Leguizamo

When I heard #Univision was giving airtime to Trump, I bristled, but when I heard the interview was more of a fireside chat I became incensed. Many in the #Latino community still cite the fact the Trump is a “good” businessman for their continued support. As such, it’s smart strategy for #Trump to court them. What I don’t get is that even though he vilified #Mexicans as rapists & caged children, Univision gave him a pass while feeding into another Trump “big lie”.
The largest spanish language television station has dropped, gone back on, Biden's ad buy. Apparently after being threatened or bribed? Or maybe an ethical argument was made?
Even if trump threatens to put brown people in concentration camps, television networks are still owned by billionaires.
After lying down and sleeping his way through an interview with Donald Trump (not to be confused with sleeping his way into said interview), #Univision anchor Leon Krauze has exited his job at the station following widespread public outcry.
Univision is a highly popular television station in the #Latino community. It was recently purchased by Mexican media company Grupo Televisa, known for its public service in favorably reporting on corrupt officials and cartel heads.
Michael Scherer & Josh Dawsey: #Univision, the Spanish language news giant, shifts its approach to #tRump: The presence of corporate executives at Mar-a-Lago raises alarm among Democrats who are used to #Latino media criticism of the former president’s policies
"He hosted a trio of its executives at Mar-a-Lago last week during an hour-long Univision interview that was notable for its gracious tone, starting with a question about how well he is doing among Latino voters in early general election polling.
…
The Democratic alarm further spiked two days later, when Univision advertising representatives told the Biden campaign that spots already purchased to run during the Trump interview in Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania and Florida had been canceled — owing to a heretofore unannounced policy about opposition advertising in single-candidate interviews."

Chicana artists are using the figure of the Virgin of Guadalupe to present social and political messages. She is often seen as a symbol of faith, protection and hope.
This has made her a fitting symbol for activism behind topics like #immigration.
Pictured ⬇️ In her renowned 1978 “Portrait of the Artist as the Virgin of Guadalupe,” artist Yolanda Lopez created an affirming image of a mixed-race women, and modernized the attire.

@Wander for example: i usually take time to mention that i am #mestizo. that does make me part of the umbrella of the label #bipoc, but i prefer to identify as #latino / #latine / #mestizo because those labels feel closest to me; i grew up with them and people at home in #colombia, #ecuador, and #venezuela know what i'm talking about usually.

We've met with and appreciate Gino Garcia—an #EcologyAction of #SantaCruz employee and #Transportation Agency of #MontereyCounty #Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee member—to discuss bicycling-related issues in the city and county.
Since Dec 2022 Gino is also a City of #Monterey Council member. Until today we'd missed this Voices of #MontereyBay piece by Joe Livernois, "More History in an Historic Town." https://voicesofmontereybay.org/2022/12/15/more-history-in-an-historic-town/ Thanks to #JoeLivernois, a Voices founding editor and former #MontereyHerald staffer, for bringing to more people's attention why Gino Garcia garnered that appointment. As Joe reported on the day Garcia was appointed, "Councilman Ed Smith said he believes Garcia has the type of experience 'that will put him in a position to really, really grow very, very quickly into the … role of a city council member.'"

every time i grow more resentful of the #White Passing Mask inside of me. and i wonder how long it's been there. how long it's been hurting not only other people, but myself. blinding me from the beauty of my own #latino #latine culture. i worry about how much of me has been lost to pandering to The System. it eats me inside.
i can hear the echoes of my #ancestors begging to be represented, and it pains me every time i reflexively hide who i am in the face of The Oppressor, The System, because i was brought up to do so. to purify myself of my #brown impurities in the face of the #white system.
being #firstgen is really weird. just in general.
there's lots of generational pressure/trauma to be something, but no direction on what to be. at the same time, there's also a lot of unanswered questions about what it means to be transplanted from one culture to another. what parts of you do preserve to keep your identity? what masks do you have to live with to survive in the New World? what will you make of your "new opportunity" in America?
One of the legends of #HipHop Popmaster Fable was the victim of a hit-and-run. It was fortunate he survived. He's a kind and gracious soul, and has done wonder for education for kids around #HipHop #Islam and #Latino identity.

I haven't mentioned this here yet but I took a DNA test in 2022. The small package came with a plastic test tube and instructions on how to take the test. I spit in the tube and sent it off right away. After waiting a couple of months as they processed the sample, my results were ready. (1/3)

i remember when my mom died i was busy going through college and wasn't able to fully process the extent of what had happened because i was busy doing homework and trying to keep myself alive. but a few years later i came to realize that in that moment my mom was not the only thing that died. my connection to my #culture, the person who i asked everyday about validity on who i was as a #latino individual was no longer there and i was stuck scrambling to find validity and acceptance in a world that pressured me to be #white.

“There is a #Latino affinity for #White non-Hispanics over African Americans that is part and parcel of the Latino identification with #Whiteness. [...] When Latinos select a single fixed category, they disproportionately select White, as did 81 percent of Latino single-race box checkers on the 2020 #census and as 92.3 percent did the decade before."
- Tanya K. Hernandez, in Racial Innocence
my mom told me to do this! she explicitly told me to pick "white" on any paperwork if latino didn't exist. no need to 'other' yourself
From our magazine: Elizabeth Hogan wears her son's dog tags to keep his memory alive. He was one of the last Americans killed in the #war in #Afghanistan, and one of thousands of Latinos lured to the #military on false promises. https://www.texasobserver.org/latinos-lured-to-the-military/
i posted this recently, but tayna hernandez confirms this in this video on her book. #latino people can definitely be #racist, we are not immune to anti-blackness. me included.
"...lest it 'distract' from what they view to be the 'real racism' of #WhiteSupremacy. However, all the while, Afrolatinos, African Americans, and others suffer from acts of discrimination at the hands of Latinos who claim that their mixed culture 'immunizes them from being racist'. This is what I term the Latino Racial Innocence Cloak that veils Latino complicity in #US #Racism."
she also talks about how latino people are quick to use slurs and cultural differences against each other even though we share a lot of the same blood and genetic material in our claim to mestizaje. this one rings especially true for me and i can vouch for it first hand.
"The anti-Black slurs I heard used in the Latino community in respect to African Americans only reinforce my early impressions that #Blackness was problematic, despite our assertions of a #Latino pride and being a mixture of 'all races', [...] not all parts of the mixture were equally welcomed or celebrated."
in this video, she describes #Latino people rejecting other Afro Latino kids trying to Just Exist over being "too #Black”, being called "monito" (little monkey) "negrita benbe" (little african girl) over their looks
i have personally witnessed this #racism first hand. my dad's side of the family does not like being associated with anything other than a Spaniard descendency; they would get very offended if you insinuated that they were mixed in with anything otherwise.
my mom used to be called "negrita". it was my dad's affectionate name for her. because her skin was darker than his.
this shit runs deep.
the second book goes over how the United States influenced Latin American anti-discrimination laws to continue to promote this anti-Black discrimination by erasing Afro-Latino influence. there's a good video on her talking about her book here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmW3rof-pis
this is the third of a series of books i'm also probably going to crunch through later on. the first one is Racial Subordination in Latin America, a book on the anti-Blackness that persists throughout Latin America influenced by our colonizers. we didn't invent it, but we definitely still perpetuate it because of the remnants of the Casta system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casta

"...new CDC data showed Hispanics in the Northeast had much higher rates of the disease. The senior researchers couldn’t figure out what was going on.
It took Burchard... about five minutes to figure it out: The Hispanic population in the northeastern U.S. wasn’t primarily Mexican American, like it was on the West Coast. It was Puerto Rican."

Marcy Wheeler notes that Jack Smith's subpoena of security footage from the State Farm arena vote count location in Georgia, seen in conjunction with Trump’s efforts in places like Michigan, "is a reminder that Trump and his mobs, many associated with overt white supremacists like Nick Fuentes, aggressively tried to thwart the counting of Black and Latino people’s votes."
And this is a crime.

As the #SaltonSea Shrinks, #Agriculture’s Legacy Turns to Dust
As drought dries up the shallow sea, near a half-million farmable acres in the #ImperialValley, #farmworkers living nearby are exposed to #toxic dust and airborne #pollution from algae blooms. Asthma, allergies, and other health impacts are rising at alarming rates.
By Virginia Gewin, July 17, 2023
"Building on findings from a recent study documenting the health impacts of poor air quality around the Salton Sea, California’s largest inland lake, López was one of 15 mothers who subsequently agreed to photograph their children and their environments. Three-quarters of the 36 caregivers in the study identified as #Hispanic or #Latino, and 24 percent identified as #Purepecha, an #Indigenous group from the Mexican state of Michoacan. Over half of them are #farmworkers, as is common in the small, unincorporated communities that surround the sea.
"On bad air quality days, López keeps her 8-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter inside to protect them from a cascade of symptoms that she says worsen with outdoor exposure, including congestion, skin allergies, and shallow, labored breathing that makes sleep elusive. A 2019 survey found that 22 percent of children have asthma in the region, almost three times the national rate of 8.3 percent.
"Imperial County residents were exposed to over 1,200 pounds of #pesticides—via the air, water, and on the plants themselves—per square mile from 2017-2019. That exposure rate is over 90 percent higher than the rest of #California. On top of that, the region is the hottest in the state—with over 117 days over 100 degrees, according to a 2022 Hazardous Heat report.
"Farmers around the Salton Sea have worked to use water more efficiently and reduce field burning. But they also use intensive, conventional practices that rely on chemical inputs. And there is little if any conversation about changing those practices for the good of the Salton Sea or the area’s residents.
"In the last few years, the long-neglected region has been dubbed #Lithium Valley as it has received unprecedented attention due to its precious lithium reserves needed to fuel the state’s clean energy economy. But residents, scientists, and public health advocates worry that this new gold rush will further an extractive dynamic without adequately addressing community health. And new science about the connection between water pollution and air quality suggests more investment is needed."

Now for something completely different.
As a #Latino, #progressive Christ follower, I'm frustrated when the common decency, care, compassion, teachability, etc. encapsulated by the word "woke" is drowned out by those weaponizing that word against #BIPOC, #LGBTQIA, other communities, & allies.
This is my attempt at some word reclamation grounded in scripture.
Guess it's also a test of how well civil discourse works on Mastodon... please chime in!
I'd like to know what Spanish-speaking people in English-speaking cultures think about the use of the word #Latine vs #Latinx -- article linked upthread (makes some interesting points about the Spanish language).
If you identify as #Hispanic #Latino #Latina what is your take on this? What, to you, feels the most authentic and respectful?
"When I first heard #Latinx in 2017, I thought it was progressive and inclusive, but I quickly realized how problematic it was. Five years later, Latinx is not commonly used in Spanish-speaking countries, nor is it used by the majority of those identifying as #Hispanic or #Latino in the U.S.
In fact, there’s a gender-inclusive term that’s already being used by Spanish-speaking activists that works as a far more natural replacement."
That's Latine
