As a Zapotec Professor, born and raised in Koreatown, I am appalled to hear LA City Council members blatant racial attacks. Many of us Indigenous Oaxacans, however, are not surprised to hear this racial violence from non-Indigenous Latinx and Mexicans! It happens EVERYDAY!
I began my research on Indigenous Oaxacan experiences in the US because of my family's and my pueblos (not "villages") transnational autonomous practices across #LosAngeles & #Oaxaca. I concentrate on women and children precisely because of the racial violence we have
endured by Latinx & non-Indigenous mestizo Mexicans, yet that remains invisible by most. Being called "Pinche India fea!," "India Maria Baja del cerro"... and the number of spitts from my Latinx peers growing up attending #LAUSD from elementary to h.s.

Tweetorial #5: the interesting origin of the CBL gene. This story will take us to Spanish California and the world of murine retroviruses… and C.P. “Dusty” #Rhoads of refractory anemia fame will even make a brief cameo appearance. This image is a ribbon diagram of CBL. #CBL /1
In the winter of 1812, a series of San Andreas earthquakes struck southern California, destroying the original church at San Juan Capistrano and damaging several other 'Las Californias' missions. There were also tsunamis, which would have made coastal living less appealing./2
After the earthquakes, a number of people living near the 9th Franciscan mission, "San Buenaventura", in present-day Ventura, California, withdrew from the immediate coast & temporarily moved inland to higher ground in another part of what is now Ventura County #VenturaCounty./3

🚨 Electric Substation at #SSFL Tripped 2 Minutes Before Fire Reported
The tremendously destructive #WoolseyFire has been widely reported as beginning “near” Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL or Rocketdyne), but it appears that the fire began on the #Rocketdyne property itself.
"Cal Fire identifies the fire location as E Street and Alfa Road, a location that is in fact on Santa Susana Field Laboratory." -@PSRLA
