  3. Rep Monica De La Cruz, a #Republican who flipped her House district that includes the #Texas #border in 2022, joined #Democrats in the predominantly #MexicanAmerican region in calling for the release of immigrants with deep ties to their local communities & no criminal record.

  5. A 1992 letter from Hispanic American author Sarah Cortez to Susan Klimczak sits in Houston Public Library's archive — two installments written just two days apart, June 6 and 8. It connects Houston's Mexican American literary community to broader questions of identity, policing, and lesbian community in early '90s Texas. Personal correspondence like this is often how literary history actually gets made. #TexasHistory #HoustonHistory #MexicanAmerican #TexasLiterature

  6. Chicano artist Lalo Alcaraz is clever and talented. He’s worked on some big projects and is published in big papers. But I think his personal art is the best.

    He has a shop. Maybe you’ll want to gift something to someone. Maybe even yourself. 😉

  8. "Santiago Jiménez, Sr. (1913–84), born in San Antonio, Texas, began to play the accordion at the age of eight. His father Patricio, born in Eagle Pass, Texas, also played the accordion. Jiménez, Sr., was known for his use of the two-row button accordion even after the still popular three-row instruments were introduced. During the 1930s, he and Narciso Martínez pioneered the use of the accordion in Texas-Mexican music. Jiménez, Sr. enjoyed a long recording career into the 1950s and ’60s. Flaco Jiménez and his brother, Santiago Jiménez, Jr., continued in their father’s footsteps—both continue to perform today. "Down-Home Music: The Story of Arhoolie Records" is on display, post-security, in Terminal 2. http://bit.ly/StoryofArhoolie" This was posted to our Instagram account on February 22, 2019 – https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/instagram/1880151913/
  9. Overheard in Texas:

    At a bus stop: "Hispanic? That's amazing, you don't look at all Hispanic!"

    In a library: "So I told them, we're not like that, we're not white, we're Mexican."

    I've lived in Texas for years, but I still find ethnicity here hard to understand.

    CHICANO MOVEMENT 1960’s

    [Ruben] Salazar : “I think we are in a revolution. I think the United States is traditionally a revolutionary country…We are going to overthrow some of our institutions, but in the way that Americans have always done it: through the ballot, through public consensus. That’s a revolution. That is a real revolution.”

  11. I worked here for almost a decade. I love the RGV, its people (even though they are a mixed lot, and mostly don't agree with me politically or socially), and the university (well, most of the people "below" the level of Dean, which is about 30,000 folks). The university is the lifeblood of Edinburg, TX, and a critical employer for Edinburg, McAllen, Brownsville, and many other small communities. The GOP's sabotage of HSIs when Hispanic voters are a major reason they are now in power is a vicious betrayal.

    And I remember, maybe 15 years ago, sitting in a College meeting where faculty were brainstorming how to keep our students from feeling the pinch of Texas' perennial gutting of higher ed budgets: "we can increase class sizes", "use department funds to employ TAs," "Use OER textbooks," etc. And one of my colleagues cut through the chatter to ask,

    "Why are we trying so hard to protect these adults from the actions of their democratically-elected representatives?"

  14. The Arhoolie Foundation got an email saying a $200,000 matching grant was cut because their work saving old recordings “no longer serves the interest of the United States”

    I know they want to end Medicaid and Social Security to give tax transfers to #billionaires

    But it’s ironic that politicians creating the latest economic crash stop funding to preserve records made during the Great Depression

  15. Doing interesting work with a #MexicanAmerican (formerly just #Mexican) coauthor about #GenderRoles and right-wing #voting behavior across multiple ethnic/racial groups. The colleague is a political scientist so his view of things like "masculinity" is different from mine. It's a lot of fun to discuss. I just made this graphic for him and the other authors to stimulate discussion about what we want to measure. The lower-right yellow explosion indicates the discrepancy currently of most interest to me as a measure of masculinity conflict/threat/stress, though I'd truly prefer (and have tried once to construct) a measure that somehow combines all three discrepancies.

    Submissions to #SPSSI are due today for the conference in #portland #oregon in June.

    (Note: gender roles and #masculinity are related to my areas of #research but not central; if you a have notes or suggestions, I'm open to them)

    Take the Power Back - #RATM

    After #ChollaHighMagnetSchool teachers used this song in a #MexicanAmerican history class, Superintendent John Huppenthal issued a “notice of noncompliance” to the #Tucson Unified School District. So in January 2015, over 20 years after the song was released, #RageAgainstTheMachine’s #lyrics–along with #KRSOne’s #HipHop teachings– were deemed to be against #Arizona state law, which states that schools cannot “advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals.”
