—Did you know that Juneteenth is also celebrated in a part of Mexico? Nacimiento Mexico was once home to thousands who escaped slavery in the US. As many as 10,000 slaves followed a clandestine Southern Underground Railroad to Mexico. —To date, many Black Mexicans from the Texas area retrace a portion of the same route their African American ancestors followed in 1850 when they escaped slavery. —Descendants of slaves who escaped across the southern border observe Texas’s emancipation holiday with their own unique traditions in the village of Nacimiento. —Slave hunters would patrol the southern border for escapees, led by the Texas Rangers but the Mexican army would be there waiting for them (the slave hunters) to turn them away.

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.)

Fight For the Future - KOSA Billboard

Spreed the word

We’ve got a message for Democratic lawmakers who co-sponsor censorship bills and collaborate with Trump’s fascist agenda: we won’t let you rest until you stop doing their dirty work. Today, a billboard truck is circling Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal’s office in downtown Hartford, calling him out for reintroducing censorship bill KOSA1 and betraying his queer and trans constituents— and we paid for it. It wasn’t in our budget, but someone had to draw a line in the sand this Pride Month, and we couldn’t pass up the opportunity. Can you help cover the $1,925 it cost to demand Dems like Blumenthal stop helping Trump carry out his queerphobic censorship fantasies?

The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) would give Trump’s FTC full power to censor online free speech and block young people from accessing life-saving information and community online.2 It’s a censorship bill couched in “child safety” that proponents and enforcers like Senator Marsha Blackburn,3 Elon Musk,4 and FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson5 would proudly use to “fight back against the trans agenda” and any topic they don’t approve of. Abortion care access, political speech, and LGBTQ+ content are all on the line.

Blumenthal’s cooperation with this ghoulish bill, especially during Trump’s escalating crackdowns on marginalized communities, is unconscionable. We’ve tried everything: hundreds of thousands of young people have sent letters to Congress,2 hundreds more parents of trans kids penned a letter begging lawmakers not to pass this dangerous bill,6 we’ve written op-eds,7 met with offices, and still, Blumenthal is choosing the wrong side of history. So we took it to Blumenthal's doorstep and made him face the reality of his choices head-on.

Will you rush a donation to get this billboard covered and help us gear up for yet another fight against this dangerous bill? Even $5 makes a huge difference for our small, queer women-led org. We’ve beaten KOSA before, and it’s more important than ever that we do it again. And this time we’re going in for the kill.

DONATE NOW

Beyond funds, we need your voice in this fight. If you haven’t already, call and write your lawmakers to Stop KOSA2 and join our urgent actions Signal chat to stay updated on ways to help.8

Thanks for all you do,

yessssssss

Tarns abandonment by megatron and nickles loss of her home leaving them both lost and angry.

The fact they helped eachother find a new purpose.

The contrast of nickle being crass and harsh but ultimately being a healer at spark and tarns foe refined demeanor hiding his sadism.

GUYS, guys, GUYS, you don’t understand, nickel/tarn has me in a death grip. I’ve read all the fics on ao3 I NEED MORE OF THEM PLEASE. LIKE URGHGRHG. it’s so — imagine a cute medic w/ a foul mouth beating the shit out of a fanboy incel like CAN YOU IMAGINE THE POSSIBLITIES TARN COULD BE PEGGED BY A LITTLE FESITY THING

Like I know we flee here from the smouldering ruin of our civilisation at the moment but I as a mid-40s year old need you guys to know

Netanyahu has been saying Iran is close to nuclear weapons for 30 years

He has wanted a war with Iran that whole time

The "they have nuclear weapons" was the reason the allied west invaded and flattened Iraq in 2003 and it also turned out to be a lie

Tulsi Gubbard who is the head of US Intelligence signed a statement less than two weeks ago confirming it is America's belief that Iran is not currently pursuing nuclear weapons

Talks between the US and Irani delegation were expected to take place on Sunday, and the Irani lead negotiator was interviewed as saying he felt positively about the possibility of a new deal

Netanyahu bombed Iran and killed that exact negotiator on Friday.

There is heaps of footage of Netanyahu claiming Iraq had WMD/nukes, he was a lead proponent of the war on Iraq.

History is fucking repeating and it is MADDENING. I was at protests against the Iraqi invasion in 2002/2003. We all knew there were no nukes. US and Israel wanted regime change in Iraq anyway so they could install puppets and that's exactly what they're doing in Iran.

People will study this period in history and go, "WHY DID NO ONE STOP NETANYAHU AND ISRAEL IN GAZA, IRAN AND THE WIDER MIDDLE EAST? WHY DID THE MEDIA NOT COMMENT ON THE FACT ISRAEL HAS NUKES AND HASN'T SIGNED A TREATY BUT IS CLAIMING TO BE UPSET ABOUT A FICTIONAL SITUATION WHERE OTHER COUNTRIES ARE APPARENTLY DOING THE SAME?"
