Hoy no es un día normal... parece una pesadilla 😔💔
Nos hemos visto desplazados fuera de Rafah durante dos años completos 🏚️⏳
Dos años de pérdidas, esperas y sufrimiento... llevando memorias en lugar de hogares y anhelos en lugar de seguridad 🕊️💔
Una tragedia que crece día tras día 😢🔥
Le pedimos al mundo que nos vea y nos oiga...
Solo estamos pidiendo para una vida, retornar y dignidad 🤍🙏

Today is not an ordinary day… it feels like a nightmare 😔💔
We have been displaced outside Rafah for two full years 🏚️⏳
Two years of loss, waiting, and hardship… carrying memories instead of homes and longing instead of safety 🕊️💔
A tragedy that keeps growing, day after day 😢🔥
We call on the world to see and hear us…
We are only asking for life, return, and dignity 🤍🙏

Resistance, Remembrance, and Comunidad: Cinco de Mayo, Mount Pleasant, and the Rebuilding That Erases

Cinco de Mayo is often misunderstood in the United States. It is reduced to a marketing holiday, a day of beer specials, paper flags, mariachi clichés, and the shallow consumption of Mexican culture without the burden of remembering Mexican history. But the heart of Cinco de Mayo is not consumption. It is resistance.

The day remembers the Battle of Puebla, May 5, 1862, when Mexican forces defeated the French army, then one of the most powerful military forces in the world. It was not Mexican Independence Day. It was not the founding of Mexico. It was a day when a people under pressure from empire stood their ground. It was a day when the powerful were resisted by those who were supposed to lose. It was, at its deepest level, a day about memory, dignity, land, sovereignty, and the refusal to be swallowed by imperial appetite. (MySA)

That is why, for me, Cinco de Mayo cannot be separated from another May 5: May 5, 1991, in Washington, D.C.

I was there.
