There should be nationwide solidarity protests for the LGBT folk in Florida.

We need to show we’re united and supportive, that we aren’t just leaving each other to the wolves.

I have a proposal…

June 1st. The first day of Pride. That’s not to far from now.

What if we started Pride with protests in every major city and town that can plan a protest by then. With a matching boycott on everything online/offline for just that one day to match.

The feds and states get taxes on everything after all, it’s not just the companies making profit.

And when you protest you need demands. You cant expect a government that historically has not protected you to just suddenly know/do what’s best. And they need to be concise and focused on your specific cause.

Hypothetically speaking, what if these were our demands:

LGBT & Queer Rights Be Codified

  • ALL of the same full citizenship privileges that cishet Americans are automatically afforded by age, relationship, or birthright (ex: marriage, medical, spousal, & parental rights) - no longer 2nd class citizens.
  • Including bodily autonomy as a measure to guarantee that we can make our own medical choices & regulate what happens to our own bodies (ex: HRT, surgery, abortion)

Dissolving and barring any and all trans panic and gay panic laws.

Expand On and Codify Anti-Discrimination Laws

  • Barring discrimination against those who present or identify as any gender regardless of whether or not that aligns with their legal or physical sex
  • Religion must be explicitly defined as a non-valid cause for challenging the constitutional or federal freedoms of any specific group
  • Because of 1 & 2(below) we need a process to remove any government official when states systematically prevent citizens from challenging or removing corrupt officials that are directly challenging our freedoms.
  1. “Lower courts reasonably interpreted Supreme Court precedents as holding that unless First Amendment freedoms were targeted directly and specifically, antidiscrimination laws-promulgated at any level of government, and protecting any group-are exempt from normal constitutional limitations.”
  2. Florida has no virtually no recall laws for governor

The Supreme Court is expected to reach a decision on the attempt up overthrow ICWA in June 2023.

Several states are trying to codify ICWA before it’s potentially overturned.

Please reach out to your representatives to express your concern for the protection of ICWA.

(Each state has its own representatives, so you’ll have to go in your state legislature website, do a search on which representatives represent you, and email and call them.)

This post has links on more ways you can help.

blanket-burrito-protocol:

With the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), which has kept Native children from being purposefully removed from Native families into non-Native foster families since 1978, being reevaluated in the US Supreme Court, it is at risk of being greatly weakened and undoing decades of work to stop the systematic erasure of Native cultural identity.

(It may also re-designate the term “Indian” in the bill to mean a racial classification rather than political, reversing precedent with regard to tribal sovereignty. Native tribes must remain independent entities in the law rather than just a race to protect their rights to self-governance.)

The Lakota People’s Law Project is asking US citizens to ask their state lawmakers to enact similar legislation at the state level which codifies the rights and protections ICWA gives to Native children should it be weakened in the Supreme Court. This is not protection for the ICWA itself, although they do have action you can take for that on their website as well. In the link is a pre-written email which you can personalize and easily send to your state lawmakers.

Thanks for your time. :)

Anyone near Oklahoma City please contact me about this I am begging

Shut up. You know what most native peoples have/had that settlers in the Americas STILL don’t have?

No homelessness

What we would now call free healthcare

Equal rights and respect for male, female, and other genders.

Care for the elderly and disabled

No racism

Heart knowledge, or what we might call, mental healthcare

What we would now call free education

No one would starve cause of someone else’s greed


Yeah, no society is perfect, and we have our faults. But whose society would you rather live in?

Now think about how all of that was stolen not only from natives, but the decendants of settlers too. You, settlers, could also have had better, had people in power been stopped. And it’s still your responsibility, settlers, to stand by us and take away those evil people’s power.

Land fuckin back.

parasocial-work:

According to Cobb, “You have to build the new society within the shell of the old,” and Dishgamu Humboldt can provide a blueprint for what a better world—the one being born—might look like. As parts of the world flood and burn, perhaps projects like this can show us how the land and the people can heal from the wounds of the past, and grow a better future, together.

gaydiation-poisoning:

Colonizers kill, displace, ignore, traumatize, exploit and oppress the indigenous people who have taken care of the land they lived on for THOUSANDS of years, and then when they see the land degrading around them have the fucking GALL to have all their environmental messaging be like “Wahh humans bad and evil and greedy :(”

Like no you dumb motherfuckers you just uprooted the people who knew what they were doing, and when stuff starts to go to shit you decide it must be that humans are inherently awful because it’s easier than admitting that YOU LOT fucked up.

What is happening?

The Sami are an indigenous people who live in Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia, who has historically faced discrimination and cultural genocide and still do today. Sami activists are currently trying to shut down the Norwegian government to protest Human Rights violations that are happening at Fosen, where a windmill farm is hindering their traditional reindeer herding.

This is pure art.

For those curious, this was taken at the Oceti Sakowin camp during the No DAPL protests in Cannon Ball, North Dakota. The photograph is titled “Defend the Sacred” by Ryan Vizzions. I did not find the name of the subject on horseback.

Her name was  Marissa Blacklance. #Dakota38 rider, & front line water protector at Standing Rock. She was killed by a drunk driver in January of 2018.  Her mother is using this tragedy to make changes benefitting our community with the Yellow Scarf tribute.
