I'm The Queen

Now imagine nobody cared. And imagine every single day that number grew. Every. Single. Day.

How would that feel? This will continue long past orange shirt day. This pain won't end. It's just a pain a daily pain us as indigenous people have to carry in our hearts. So many times a week I have to stare at these numbers and all I feel is my little cousins hair in my hands as I hold them. And listening to them play and know so many children never got that. How scared they must have been. How so many of their bodies were destroyed and burned to hide what was done to them. To children. Actual babies as young as 2. Fucking babies.

And that any of my siblings could easily have been one. How quiet my dad gets at times and I can feel his sadness. How often girls still go missing and I'm so scared that someday I'll be one. And I'll just be gone and no one will care. How I could wake up someday and one of my sisters will be gone just another picture on the news no one will care about.

We live like this every single day but we're the savages???

I just need 60 bucks, please

Remaking my rent post because there's a lot of notes but not a lot of money. Still at $400, and we need to get to $1,400 to pay for rent/utilities.

Any help is appreciated!

and yet, black immigrants are still completely dismissed from all conversations about the violence against immigrants. for as long as i could remember, mestizo mexicans and central americans have been the face of immigration-related abuse… so much that people wrongly assume these are the sole victims of that violence.

haitian immigrants represent a disproportionate amount (44%!) of people currently detained in ICE quarters (as of 2020), and since haiti is overwhelmingly black, most - if not all - of those figures are black people. which means the attacks on haiti are automatically attacks on blackness.

it worries me a lot how haitian migrants are being treated and have been treated by not only the united states, but the rest of latin/caribbean/south america. there have been extended violences toward haiti from the entire americas for so long, it’s naive to say that it’s not related to how black the country is. to be black is to be unthought of, and unalive.

forced migration/extermination is genocide.

and it’s so telling that people won’t bother empathizing with the victims of forced migration unless they look a certain (non-black) way.

(protip: if you are white in america, arguing 'does that make me racist?' then you need to examine yourself and why you personally feel attacked by a news story about antiblackness.)

and here is a link to an article that may be a good place to start looking for who might be able to help crowdfund and advocate, though the thrust of the article regards post-earthquake aid within haiti:
