If this does not get you engaged, nothing will.

Republican fascists will not be going silently into the night. Centrism is dead.

Go left and stay left.

haven't been to a mooseheads game in person for over a year and apparently they made some changes to the arena.... the main one being a gigantic moose bust that flashes red eyes and shoots smoke out it's nose when we score

You know that thing lesbians who have previously dated men do, when they date a woman for the first time, and are like "oh my god women are so much better, my boyfriend was never this good, why isn't everyone dating women, you should all date women?" Sometimes I want to reach through the screen, hold their hand, and say, "have you considered that some of the problems in your last relationship might have been caused, not by The Way All Men Are, but because you were not actually into him? And you've got a rude shock coming when you realize that dating women is still dating and comes with a lot of the same issues."

But then I just saw one the other day where a woman was talking about how amazing it was that the girlfriend she just u-hauled with did tons of meal prep for her when she was having an intense work week, and her boyfriend never did this, and gosh dating women is superior and. Look. Two things. 1) That was super nice of her girlfriend and 2) "Date a woman because she'll make you lunch" is not actually the empowering message she seems to think it is.

At least I'm not alone in my opinion

This is what Trump was saying in 2013 about war in Iran. Now, he just launched a war with Iran.

when I drew this comic 3 years ago I had NO idea how far it would reach. I'm happy to finally share a corrected version with proper abbreviations, and even MORE state names of indigenous origin ♥️

however, the goal of this comic was to inspire people to do your OWN research on indigenous history. To question everything we have been taught, and everything that has been pointedly left out. This erasure, this “forgetting”, of history is not just of the past… it is happening now. - Across so-called Canada, the US, and US-occupied islands, native women are victims of murder at 10-12x the rate of non-native people, and are the most likely to go missing without being searched for by the law. - Native reservations have the highest rates of poverty in the US, with over HALF of tribal homes with no access to clean water (with more joining this list by the year) - Native people are 6-10x more likely to be unhoused than the rest of the population, and native teens suffer suicide rates higher than any other demographic. This list of modern day genocide goes on (thank you for compiling @theindigenousanarchist <3) and yet take a look at those environmental stats!

Native people manage to do SO much for the planet as a whole - thanklessly - and with all this stacked against them. Don't even get me started on kin fighting in south america. Could you imagine if there was help? #landback is resistance to genocide, and it is the key to saving our warming earth.

So look into it and the other hashtags, cuz a cartoon goose ain't a substitute for a proper education. Love to my grandparents who always kept a map of tribal territories of turtle island on their wall, to speaking on our Tsalagi & Saponi heritage. Love & solidarity forever, happy research, and happy #indigenouspeoplesday

(Also, if you care to support the artist, I'm publishing a book ! and writing another - a fantastical afroindigenous graphic novel - that I post exclusively about with tons of other art on my patreon.)

DON’T LET THE MEDIA FLIP THE NARRATIVE‼️

It is possible for a child to have maladaptive coping strategies and become an abuser. For example, they could abuse their siblings, or a son who was abused by his mother could take it out on women as a whole.

But that involves them victimizing someone else who doesn't have power over them and who didn't cause their trauma. You, as their parent, still aren't the victim.

Now is the time to stay engaged. Stand together with your neighbors. Expand your solidarity.
