Chiquita Pero Picosa

I am Vero (Veh-roll the R-oh). This is a personal blog of random things. I love my yorkies, my family, politics, fighting for social justice and making people wonder what I’m up too. Hip Hop and Classic House are the sound track to my life. Chicago is where I cause all the ruckus.

If you guys didn’t see some white girl posted a montage of her colonizer experience in Hawai'i and has been getting dragged for days now lmao I’m not gonna link it cause it’s just her and some other haole girls she met her literally dancing on graves and sacred places and showing off her dirty hair.

But I did a little thread on why these romanticized ads of our home harms us (not super in depth but touches on some important points). And I was a lot nicer about it cause I actually do care if you come to visit and I’d actually prefer that everyone leave us alone forever but colonizers gonna colonize and settlers gonna settle 🤷🏽‍♀️

“I used to dislike being sensitive. I thought it made me weak. But take away that single trait, and you take away the very essence of who I am. You take away my conscience, my ability to empathize, my intuition, my creativity, my deep appreciation for the little things, my vivid inner life, my deep awareness of others’ pain, and my passion for it all.”

Out here celebrating El Grito (the cry) and call to arms that started the Mexican Revolution. September 16th is the day Mexicans revolted against Spanish colonialism and ultimately won independence. I love that growing up and still living in #Pilsen means having this celebration practically right outside my door. #ElGritoChicago #AlachingadaColonizers #CincodemayoIsntReal (at Harrison Park)

Vamos a quebrar el I.C.E. This poster came back with me from Arizona in 2013 when we shut down an ICE facility in downtown Phoenix. We occupied the outside for the entire day and threw a big pachanga outside the gates. It may have been only for that one day, but we knew at least for that day no one was being processed or deported from there. In 2012, undocumented leaders led the way and we got DACA by holding Obama accountable and taking direct action. No one thought either of those things could be done, but they happened. The difference now is that we know people power can close down detention centers and pressure President's to provide relief. If people made the impossible possible before, we can make even MORE possible. We need to fight for EVERYONE this time because no one should live their life in fear. #Not1More #ProtectionforAll #NoBanNoWall 📸: @loveandstrugglephotos (at Federal Center and Plaza)

DACA still exists. Be part of the fight to keep it. See you I'm in downtown Chicago at 5:30pm TODAY. #DefendDACA #ProtectionforAll #DOsomething #immigrantjustice
