1/2 Kevin Loredo, Mexican in Texas organizes 3 movie screening: "Why do we allow others to profit off our pain and exploit our traumas? Why are we not the main ones to profit off our culture’s stories?" [...] 'Most of all, I hope it reminds us that solidarity is the only border worth defending—one that stretches from the West Bank to the Rio Grande, and beyond.
Because the land was never empty. The border was never neutral. And justice was never meant to have a checkpoint.'
Let’s get this through the GOP’s thick skulls: Gaza and Texas prove militarizing borders is a deadly business and the way they grift by pretending to give a damn about anyone involved is insane. Israel’s blockade didn’t stop Hamas—it’s led to the death of thousands of children being bombed. Texas’ $11B wall didn’t stop the migrants or the so called “border crisis”—it just drowned kids in the Rio Grande.
