I think many wanted this country to be better than it is, despite the fact that we know it to be deeply racist, sexist, etc. There has been no wholesale repudiation of white supremacy, misogyny, homophobia, or xenophobia. We (some) fight on. As always.

Profile of Tamara Davila, a feminist activist and one of the over 150 political prisoners in Nicaragua, arbitrarily arrested and jailed on trumped up charges, many being held in solitary confinement, not allowed to see their families or legal counsel.

| Tamara was born on January 15, 1981 in Managua. Her mother was Sadie Rivas Reed and her father was Irving Dávila Escobar, my husband. He brought Tamara to our home, making our family both bigger and better ⤵️

Thinking of all the folks on Nicaragua’s Caribbean coast in the path of hurricane iota tonight. It’s absolutely catastrophic that there’s another even more powerful hurricane hitting the region immediately after Eta.
The most powerful hurricane of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season is getting very close to making landfall in Nicaragua where it will deal a catastrophic blow to Central America right on the heels of Hurricane Eta:

This is the fourth potential presidential candidate placed under arrest in Nicaragua to prevent competitive elections in November. This follows the violent repression of citizen protests in 2018 and the arrests and exile of many activists in those protests.
BREAKING: Sandinista guardsmen have reportedly raided the home of opposition pre-candidate Juan Sebastián Chamorro. He was summoned to report to the Sandinista prosecutors office tomorrow morning, but the Sandi police have reportedly jumped the gun.

This is a great point. Latinos are not a monolith. In + to differences in racial identification (i.e. white, black, indigenous, mixed, etc), the impact of ideological legacies of Latin American political divides is important.
Seeing lots of confusion from people on how Latinxs could vote Trump. Well, outside the US, there’s a whole right-wing, fascist, militarist, white supremacist tradition & history that many Latinxs subscribe to, are proud of. Latinxs as a kind of organic Democrat is a fallacy.
