The star of Orange is the New Black and Jane the Virgin presents her personal story of the real plight of undocumented immigrants in this country

Diane Guerrero, the television actress from the megahit Orange is the New Black and Jane the Virgin, was just fourteen years old on the day her parents and brother were arrested and deported while she was at school. Born in the U.S., Guerrero was able to remain in the country and continue her education, depending on the kindness of family friends who took her in and helped her build a life and a successful acting career for herself, without the support system of her family.

In the Country We Love is a moving, heartbreaking story of one woman’s extraordinary resilience in the face of the nightmarish struggles of undocumented residents in this country. There are over 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the US, many of whom have citizen children, whose lives here are just as precarious, and whose stories haven’t been told. Written with Michelle Burford, this memoir is a tale of personal triumph that also casts a much-needed light on the fears that haunt the daily existence of families like the author’s and on a system that fails them over and over.

30 students died in a terrorist attack at Bacha Khan University, Peshawer, Pakistan on January, 20th 2016. Please remember them and their families in your prayers.

school had an mlk assembly today and it was so much better than i expected

mainly because there were giant explanations of black lives matter and white feminism

i also submitted a paragraph-long anonymous story to the gsa about what it would be like to come out, and it was read onstage

overall the entire presentation was fantastic, pero the one thing i would change is the use of the word hispanic

i hope to see something about why reverse racism isn’t real at next year’s assembly

Reverse racism isn’t real because it’s just racism. Trying to convince people “you can’t be racist against whites” is literally just saying “is only bad when they do it.”

joaquinsmustache

incredible. in the year 2016, a white man known as the-voiceofsanity is attempting to educate a person of color on racism

also how the fuck did you find this post, were you seriously that desperate to try and prove me wrong

in-all-conscience-deactivated20

Incredible. In the year 2016, a year as arbitrary as any other, people think the fact that I’m white invalidates my criticism of their double standard.

I found your post by accident, to be honest. I try to find posts tagged with feminism, but I keep forgetting Tumblr on Android searches for the word “feminism” instead of displaying only tagged posts.

joaquinsmustache

are you one of those gringos that thinks racism against white people is poc calling you “mayonnaise boy"?

didi-is-spiffy-deactivated20190

No, stop it

internetgals

I felt a type of way too when I saw this shit

didi-is-spiffy-deactivated20190

I knew it wasn’t just me, and I think the dude who made it was white so that’s just another level of no

laurensium-deactivated20160707

It makes sense…doesn’t the crisis area have a higher population of African American people?

didi-is-spiffy-deactivated20190

You can make points about environmental racism without imagery like this, it also makes it seem like it’s saying it’s bringing back things of the past when in actuality things like this have been happening, they never really stopped, so nah still don’t like it

pure

i thought that this image was displaying the racial and class disparity of those suffering the water contamination. apparently the population of those affected were 57% black and low income.

PSA: Some wheelchair users can *GASP* walk

Wheelchairs are used for many disabilities; it could be very painful to walk, one may lack the strength to walk, have hyperflexibility, shortness of lung capacity, fragility of joints, muscles, skin etc.

REBLOG so people STOP harassing wheelchair users when they stand up and even WALK out their chairs in public.

cutieyama

I hardly ever add comments to posts but i feel the need to add on. A couple years ago i was in a wheel chair because of my chronic illness. I went to an amusement park with my school and each time we’d go on a ride the people who work there must ask if i was able to walk onto the ride. A lot of people found this offensive (my sister is working at disney world and she told me that whenever there is a wheel chair the cast members must ask if they are able to walk.) I of course told them i was able to walk and when i got out of my wheel chair i got so many bad glares. After that field trip i was bullied the rest of my highschool life because people thought i was faking it. It got to the point where these girls from church ended up breaking my wheel chair. Please please stop harassing people who use wheelchairs.

questionall

There are many times when due to breathing difficulities I’ve had to use a wheelchair or motor cart in the store or other places. That doesn’t mean I can’t walk or others can’t walk but it does mean we can’t go far and we do need the assistance. It’s no ones business judging people who need the help. No one should feel bad for using what the need when they need it.

annarosewanders-deactivated2016

I grew up with a bone deformity in my feet in ankles that was not visible to the eye and I was still able to walk. After walling for any more than about 30 ft my feet would begin to hurt so bad I could barely function. My family took a trip to disney world when I was 9 and I needed to use a wheel chair. I specifically remember hearing a woman scoff and growl about how lazy and disgraceful I was but also my family for raising such a lazy child. And this was just because I got out of my chair to go hug Tinker Bell. Please stop harassing wheelchair users who can still walk. You made an 8 year olds first trip to disney a lot worse than it should have been.

Keep telling your stories ❤

I remember a trip to the museum back when I was 10 and my Complex Regional Pain Syndrome was just starting to spread. I hadn’t been able to be in school much, so I was so excited to finally be able to be a part of a normal, exciting day with all of my friends. I hesitantly borrowed a museum wheelchair in lieu of using crutches; I felt very vulnerable and sort of embarrassed needing to be pushed around, but I wanted so so badly to be a part of the big day. After a couple hours, I set the wheelchair aside to go to the bathroom, and then lowered myself into it when I got back out. A museum guard went fucking ham, telling me I was lazy and entitled. I hadn’t fully explained my disability to a lot of my classmates, so when they gathered around to watch the shit show, I was so crushed and embarrassed. Because of that one incident, for years, I was hesitant to ask for extra help when I needed it and I ended up worsening my condition long-term. Respect ALL wheelchair users. Treat everyone you come across with respect. You are not always entitled to an explanation.

Oh god, the stories I could add into here would take forever to type, and I have only had my chair for two years.

I have been abused for walking from the passenger seat of the car to my chair at the back of it. Because I was forced to park in a normal, narrow car space because people without disability parking permits parked in the disability space, or their just aren’t enough of them.

I’ve been grocery shopping, stood up to grab something off a shelf and been yelled at. Never mind the person standing there yelling at me for “faking it” didn’t offer to help reach the stuff on the shelf either. Just watched me test if I could reach it without standing.

Because I’ve been abused so many times for standing, or for sitting in a normal seat on the bus because the driver was being rough and making my chair wheelie.

On my second day of TAFE classes one of my classmates said to me “So can you walk because I saw you move your feet yesterday”.

I get looks and comments when people see me get out of my chair to get up rough terrain/curb cutouts or walk through a store that isn’t accessible. Which I can’t do often.

And the funny thing is that when I walk/stand you can easily see that I have trouble with it too. Especially when I hit my pain tolerance limit and spend the time walking/standing grimacing in pain.

I can’t thank you enough for this post. I recently started using a wheelchair for my arthritis in hips & knees. I’m able to stand and walk, but if I stand or walk for too long, my joints will start to hurt a LOT. To the point where I’ll honest-to-God cry or collapse. So I really need it for intensive days out, such as amusement parks and that sort of stuff.

And I’m actually really scared to stand up from my chair to go on rides and stuff because I’m scared of the looks/comments I’ll get. So I’m glad this post exists with all these stories - just goes to show I’m not alone in this <3

Detroit teachers stage “sickout” over horrible conditions, force schools to close

Eighty-eight of Detroit’s 97 public schools were closed Wednesday when teachers participated in a districtwide “sickout” to push for demands related to school conditions and their rights as employees. The protests align with a very high profile visitor in Detroit.

After Darsh’s photo was used in an Islamophobic joke, the internet rallied around him in love and respect. His response on MSNBC is the definition of poise and rising above the hate.
