I’m not celebrating america today because this country is holding tens of thousands of innocent immigrants, including CHILDREN, in concentration camps at the border. At least 24 of these asylum seekers, including 7 children, have been killed in these camps so far. The children are fed a pathetic diet of oats, cheap ramen and microwave burritos, and they are not given soap, beds or toothbrushes. Teen mothers wear shirts stained with breast milk. Teens and older children are forced to parent the youngest children due to being separated from their parents. The majority of them have not been given an opportunity to shower in weeks or months. There is literally a stench surrounding these concentration camps. Don’t believe me? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/21/us/migrant-children-border-soap.html Sound familiar? What if everyone who shot off fireworks and went to their BBQs today instead performed some healthy non-violent civil disobedience against these fascist acts of terror? We need to stand up and take direct action against these concentration camps, ICE who is running them, and everything they represent. Take control of your own future and the world you want to see. Ask not what your world can do for you, but what you can do for your world. Pics from an interactive performance art demonstration that @reluctant_hero1 and I planned and participated in with @nycrevclub on memorial day that called for an immediate release of the children from these inhumane torture camps. #returnthechildren #beahero #stoprepeatinghistory #nokidsincages #closetheconcentrationcamps Today I’m building the world I would like to see in the middle of the woods at a burn in Vermont, where decommodification, radical inclusion, radical self-expression, radical self-reliance, communal effort, civic responsibility, leave no trace, gifting, participation, immediacy, and consent rightfully reign. ❤️ (at United States of America) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzgJ1eWgwywIRhttuyrWnoVj3vWMPkB_mWXkhw0/?igshid=uzasfx25tjg5

#Repost @thentheycameforme ・・・ Did you know? • • Fort Sill’s history of trauma also includes a Native American boarding school where Indigenous children were separated from their families, their culture, and their language. • • Fort Sill served as a Prisoner of War camp for members of the Chiricahua Apache tribe who were forcibly relocated from the Southwest in 1894. The Apache leader Geronimo was among the 300+ incarcerated there, and later died there. • • Fort Sill served as an incarceration camp for 700+ Japanese Americans in the spring and early summer of 1942. • • @nina.nobu writes her blog post for @denshoproject : “Fort Sill is not an anomaly, but it is a reminder of the ongoing violences of settler colonialism, racism, and xenophobia that have defined far too much of our nation’s history.” Standing in solidarity tomorrow.

Power to the people. Been educating myself about unjustified plights, disenfranchised people's wars, and those on both sides we lost and mourn - for quite a while.
