Being artistic paid off in art school, but it didn't help me do well in high school, where I usually doodled and dissociated—especially in Spanish class. I joke that the spirit of Lapu-Lapu was protecting me from being recolonized. In class—which was taught in English—I was given a Spanish first name (Josué) to replace my Biblical birth name, which conveniently matched my Spanish surname "given" to my ancestors. So, I was taught the language of one colonizer (Spain) via the language of another (USA).

Even though I was living the legacy of colonization every day, I wasn't taught much about this Filipino history until I was an adult, outside of the US school system. So maybe me—and others—aren't bad students after all, we're just in the wrong environment.

My greatest fear for American Jewry isn’t that we become victims of another Holocaust; that seems wildly unlikely even despite the recent surge in anti-Semitism. It’s that we, slowly but surely, lose our identity as Jews — that being a Jewish American becomes less of a core part of one’s identity and more of a background fact, like being of Irish or Italian descent.

Trump Claims Power to End Birthright Citizenship

The President may not understand the substantive requirements to alter the Constitution, but his desire to end birthright citizenship with a mere executive order is wrongheaded for a number of other reasons, as well. Alex Nowrasteh comments....

The really important point of this podcast is that when Germany started giving birthright citizenship they found the immigrants who would be having those children in measurable ways started assimilating in higher numbers.

If you want people to become Americans you have to have birthright citizenship.  

So it’s not only a Constitutional fact we have birthright citizenship, but it’s also a policy that has been proved to work.

Fusion - A Book Review

Fusion – A Book Review

In the introduction of “Fusion,” Steve Stroope, senior pastor of Lake Pointe Church, writes that Nelson Searcy is a practitioner, not just a theorist. He also says, “unless God is involved and his Spirit is blowing across our lives, no amount of structure in the church will produce spiritual growth.” So, whether or not you agree with anything else that is contained within this book, it’s hard to…

Anchoring this argument in the NOII context, I first explain that migrant justice politics has the radical potential to undo what activist-author Harsha Walia (2013) calls “border imperialism”. Second, I argue that the failure of migrant justice politics to meet its potential rests on its erasures and appropriations of Black struggle. Third, I argue that for migrant justice politics to pose a serious challenge to border imperialism, we must destabilize the category of the ‘migrant’ to understand how racialized hierarchies of citizenship privilege and oppress Black and non-Black migrants differently. Finally, I suggest that strategies aimed at addressing these shortcomings must move beyond a politics of inclusion and assimilation, to one of destabilizing identities and building relationships across both material and conceptual borders.

good reading. too much going on in the excellent essay to blurb about it.

Rand Paul’s campaign for the GOP nomination is just about kaput, but that didn’t stop the Kentucky Senator from trying to do a Donald Trump imitation on the subject of Native Americans during an interview.

Paul was being interviewed by right wing radio personality Laura Ingraham, and they both expressedtheir opinions on “separatist” minorities.  Senator Paul…
