In brief: Every time I interview (or even just chat with) Victoria Rodríguez-Roldán she says something I take with me that well past the topic at hand. This time is was the phrase “pale, stale, and male.” Moving away from the white, old men of extreme privilege — philosophically and literally/physically — in our organizing and political spaces is the only way we’re going to save our lives.
We talk about the Supreme Court (yes, again, because it’s that important); why the push to include sexual orientation on the census matters; and the new/increasing dangers of interacting with the carceral state for transgender people, the mentally ill, and the disabled.
