Tomorrow is May Day 💪🏽 Yes to universal healthcare, yes to free and affordable education, yes to investing in infrastructure, yes to affordable housing, yes to acknowledging the cost of living crisis, yes to fair representation, yes to abolishing ICE, yes to paying unpaid debt like reparations, yes to a multipolar world.
Americans deserve to be taken care of and we deserve a healthy country, but yet we continue to invest and fund death and destruction around the world.
The system is broken and now more than ever American’s have more in common. No more division, no more status quo, no more of the same. We must come together in order to push back against this senseless war that no one wants.
Rest in paradise my friend @pablo.cristi.studio 🌹🌹🌹Thank you for everything. We’ve had some great times and amazing conversations throughout the years. Pablo’s energy was unmatched. He was extremely talented, creative, selfless, thoughtful and sharp. He always showed me love and extended his hand out, no questions asked.
He poured everything into his students. I would often tell him, “I don’t know how you do it, being so present, engaged, and fully there for each and every kid.” Whenever we crossed paths, by chance or by plan, we picked up right where we left off.
Thank you for being a beautiful friend to me and a brother. I will miss you.
Sending much love to his mother Isabel and partner Natsumi during this difficult time. With respect and love -P 🌹🌹🌹
