run like you on fire

rb if u hates terfs

Actually, let's go ahead and say this part louder. Because the DAPL is HORRIFIC, and indigenous people put their bodies on the line to fight it at every step. This is one of the first things that comes to mind when I hear phrases like "what you let your government do to others (Palestine) they will eventually do to you*" that drive me up a fucking WALL because that sentiment, though meant to be a rallying cry against political paralysis, is so obnoxiously ignorant of the history and ongoing MO of America. DAPL, Flint, MI's lack of clean water, Hurricane Katrina, martial law in DC, ICE raids in LA to justify NG deployment against civilians, BLM. I mean fuck it, go look up Seneca Village and the creation of Central Park. Look up how freeways in large cities like LA derived their paths. America currently and has ALWAYS gleefully threatened, endangered, exploited, and violated the lives and lands of BIPOC (and heavy on the indigenous while we're talking about DAPL rn) people whenever convenient, profitable, and destabilizing to those communities. Anyway, all of that to say: - the fascism around us isn't new. - Fuck DAPL. - listen to vulnerable populations when they tell you the fear you're feeling now has been a regular part of their lives for GENERATIONS and transmute that realization into momentum to join the fight because it's not new - it's been waiting for you and now you're here! - vote for Vic * = this "you" is so 'affluent white liberal' coded I want to scream

if you’re a white creator and your brown/black characters are always sassy, reckless, aggressive or cold and your white characters are always soft, demure, shy and introverted you should think about maybe why you did that

sorry to hijack your post, but imo this also applies to colourism dynamics, even if you have a full cast of colour. like i can only confidently speak from the south asian context, but RAMPANT colourism in the community has given rise to and perpetuated these same stereotypes of people with darker skin being more aggressive and sexually promiscuous than the “reserved, civilised” light skins. 

Finally it’s being said

All ill say if the us supreme court decides to turn over the indian child welfare act and i don't see white people talking about it, especially white lgbt people, i will be pissed

Here’s a link tree of more details about the icwa supreme court hearing and things you can do ^_^
