Sema Hernandez speaks her mind beautifully.

I think Sema Hernandez, who sought the Democratic Party nomination for U.S. Senate in Texas,  stated this beautifully... more people need to speak up similarly:





“As I said before, I’m going to tell you uncomfortable truths instead of comforting lies. How many times has politicians used nice words as they stabbed us in the back?


Decorum and civility are used to keep us in line with the patriarchal systems of oppression.


I’m more offended by the political corruption happening right before our yes, the silence and lack of accountability than by vulgar language.


My priorities are 100% in line with the oppressed. I also express the anguishing pain and anger many politicians don’t because they are not living like the rest of us. They are not impacted by poverty like the rest of us.”
