If you haven’t seen this story, look up his name: Francisco Galicia. 

Galicia says he lost 26 pounds during that time in a South Texas immigrant detention center because officers didn’t provide him with enough food.

He said he wasn’t allowed to shower and his skin was dry and dirty.

He and 60 other men were crammed into an overcrowded holding area where they slept on the floor and were given only aluminum-foil blankets, he said. Some men had to sleep on the restroom area floor.

Ticks bit some of the men and some were very sick, Galicia said. But many were afraid to ask to go to the doctor because CBP officers told them their stay would start over if they did, he said.

I would remind you that concentration camps are actually real. 

“I told them we had rights and asked to make a phone call. But they told us, ‘You don’t have rights to anything’,” Francisco Galicia said.

Hey, friends. I’m sad to report that we’ve been seeing the lowest donation totals over the past six months than we’ve had in several years (only $1500 for all of August, for example 😧) . And that’s despite creating even more great content than ever, busting our butts in direct services & doing everything else we do and have been doing for over 20 years now to keep Scarleteen serving up the inclusive, progressive, warm and wise sex ed and support young people and those who care about them want and need.

Last week India passed a blatantly anti-Muslim law that seeks to naturalise millions of immigrants, except if they are Muslims.

In August of this year, India revoked the autonomous status of the Kashmir region, putting a communication blackout on the state. Kashmir has entered the fifth month of no internet and heaviest militarisation of any region in the world.

India is a secular, socialist republic. This bill is anti-constitutional and against the principles on which the country was founded

Naturally, there have been protests across the country. At the forefront of the protests are students from India's public universities.

Police opened fire on peaceful protestors in Jamia Milia Islamia University in Delhi, and Aligarh Muslim University in Uttar Pradesh.

Ever since then, the ruling fascist Hindu nationalist political party, the BJP, has been doctoring videos and sending fake news all over the internet, discrediting protestors and labelling them as terrorists

I’ve been wanting to give to the community for a little while now, and so I present:

Accents and Artistry, a raffle by me! Prizes include fully colored art; fullbodies, gijinkas, and even a custom skin by yours truly! Other prizes include gen1s and UMAs. More prizes will be added as interest grows, meaning that even more people will be able to win something!

shit like that just makes me go fuckin wild
