the nastiest thing about the breonna taylor decision is you can tell there was some fucking cost-benefit analysis that went into the decision. they started preparing for how to crack down on civil unrest before the decision was even announced, which tells me that they had a choice between accountability and spending the foreseeable future beating protestors in the streets. they obviously thought the latter was preferable to letting even one officer take responsibility for murdering an innocent woman in cold blood. what sucks even more to me is probably how easily they made that decision. it’s like our public services are only accountable to capital, and not the public, or something

See that state in the red there? The one in Mexico? That is Puebla. The state where a great victory was won on May 5, 1862. You see, the French thought they had it made, that a swift takeover was imminent based on their army of 6000 soldiers. They were wrong. An army of INDIGENOUS folks gathered to fight back. On May 5, (yes that means Cinco de Mayo) the French sent troops in to attack the city of Puebla de Los Angeles, but were met from the North by the indigenos who would not be intimidated or taken down. When the fight was over and the French retreated, they had lost over 500 men. Puebla lost less than 100. Cinco de Mayo isn’t a day to get wasted and dress up as a racist stereotype. This day is a celebration to remember the Indigenous Resistance that took place, and the victory that seemed impossible. Indigenous resistance continues to this day, from the top of turtle island to the tip of South America. We fight imperialism and colonialism with pride. Please do not trivialize the important celebration of La Batalla De Puebla by reinforcing racist tropes. And don’t you dare tell Mexicans “Happy Mexican Independence Day!” you’ll look like an ignorant jackass. #cincodecultura
“Sometimes these premieres - well they always feel like work. It’s a little overwhelming and these interviews last forever, so you’re really in a professional state of mind. Even linking out with my buddies at my house tonight, my family, my friends…I’ve been in L.A. for twenty years now and this is kind of the culmination to a lot of things, so it’s an emotional night and I’m trying to be here for it as opposed to slapping on that professional mentality. I’m trying to be more human, and it feels good.”
