Long Beach, CA is a cat on a hot tin roof today 7/13/2018.  The beautiful sun I love so much, has become oppressive.  Thanks to the Koch (Kock Brothers who have hung the earth to dry on dicks made of black gold).  Their denial of climate change has helped created it. Remember 360.org, & Steven Hawking, their predictions are happening as I walk among cracks on the hot black tar Long Beach ghetto alley next to and in back of my house. There are multi colored, poor people from all over the world who are my gente. They are walking in front, and in back of me. They like I burn under the suns penetrating rays which paints black ink palm tree, human forms, and tipping buildings silhouettes on hot cement. We past garbage in the middle of the alley and over the pregnant garbage bin, along with a naked toilet seat, and a child’s stroller.  This heat creates piercing sun rays of dirty yellow fire brown.  There are many wild fires raging in my Golden State on my way to get some money out of my ATM.  I needed to pay V who is my gardener and house watcher.  I want to give him some money I owe him tonight.  Going to the ATM pilgrimage to capitalism became an oppressive experience which I had to write about. The heat scorched me when I tried to take the money out of the ATM.  It seared my eyes with glass glare from the sun, while it burned my back.  I needed to be positive to combat this oppressive heat.  I need to remember the weather is great when the sun shines and the wind comes off the ocean to cool the sun. Long Beach has cooling winds that cool the sun-drenched rays that cascade over glimmering blue sea and sky with melting horizons. I love walking in my neighborhood then.  It is lovely to do because there is always something blooming.  My cactus grew bright pink spiky flowers in the 2 weeks I was away on my Eastern European Trip. I love eating and looking down Pine Street under its changing evening skies and enjoy the pink Jacaranda trees framing the sunset on the oceans

Yet in the alley on my pilgrimage to the capitalist ATM shrine, I couldn’t help thinking of that racist saying: “Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noon day sun,” They did it to create a money grabbing, gold seeking empire, sucking brown human blood empire. And my money is no different under this capitalist system. I get paid from the Teacher’s Union Pension Fund, which invest in wall street.  Creating the need of money which feeds another greedy empire built on the brown, black and white human labor while destroying the earth.  Aha! the contradictions of capitalism all this to pay a friend who helps me. Welcome to Global Warming created by Capitalism.  I got to fight harder before it is too, too late!!!!

If Not Now When Demo at LA Jewish Federation 4 11 2018

This is my video of the demonstration in which I and
Barry participated to end the ethnic cleansing and murder of Palestinians by
the Israeli government. The demonstration was organized by "If Not
Now" a courageous group of young Jewish activist.  Jonah one of my comrades in Democratic
Socialist of America and 4 others were arrested for protesting in front of the
Jewish Federation on Wilshire in Los Angeles. 
I have posted videos of some other "If Not Now" demonstrations
throughout the US.  Stop the ethnic
cleansing of the Palestinians! Boycott, Divest, and Sanction Israel NOW! Stand
with these courageous young people.

Coming out of the Shadows with Mitchell Jimenez Hernandez

I produced this video as the proud daughter of an
undocumented worker, Anthony Alvarado, who came to the US in 1920 when he was 3
years old. Unlike Donald Trump's racist lies about Mexican undocumented students
and workers they were not sent by Mexico to the US.  Like my father and my immigrant family, they
ran away from Mexico's corrupt government that breeds poverty, hunger, and
starvation wages.  They came here to study,
work and contribute to the US.  My father
did by volunteering and fighting in WWII for this country, becoming a citizen,
working hard, raising a family, owning a small business, and paying his taxes
before he died in 2007.  The annexation
of half of Mexico by the US in 1850 is one of the reasons Mexico is so
poor.  When we cross the border, we are
crossing into a land that was once our own. 
The true illegal aliens are Donald Trump and his racist followers who
blame the victims of their corporate empires in order to obfuscate their
rapacious grab for money and power. Ultimately the Dreamers are the future.
They, like all the majority of documented and undocumented immigrants before
them, will enrich the country and give it more than they take.
