Gotta make room for new magic!
I sometimes am pained even at erasing something I liked in my art, but you have to make room for the new magic to come through. It's a clean up kind of season. #trasheroes

“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

People outside of Canada need to realize Mark Carney has cut thousands of public service jobs and fast tracking neoliberal business and energy sales over Indigenous land and LGBTQ+ rights in the country.
He's paving the way for fascism but getting credit as some brave leader calling out Trump

Puerto Ricans had first contact with the invasive world. Their people have dealt with so much, longer than ANY Indigenous group here.
And yet. They didn’t just survive, even with false stories of Taíno eradication. Even with horrors of the conquistadors.
