I feel like the Statue of Liberty pictured in silent protest...I have not been silent, yet we continue a slide into fascist corporate rule...I will not surrender ideals to those who bought the podium and locked the mailboxes declaring corporate person-hood. I won't apologize

Miles, an Indigenous actor best known for her roles in “Northern Exposure,” “Smoke Signals,” “Wyvern” and “The Last of Us,” handed them her tribal ID from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon.

Yet, Miles recalled one agent calling it “fake.”
‘Northern Exposure’ actor gave ICE agents in Redmond her tribal ID. They called it ‘fake,’ she says
Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.

ICE is arresting husbands & wives at their final green card interviews

They’re going to the immigration meeting to complete the final step in the legal process and leaving in handcuffs

One man had to take his crying infant from his wife’s arms as ICE forcibly detained her

This is cruel entrapment

Painting created c.midC20th in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital in Surrey, by an individual who was compelled to live there, whose identity is currently unknown to us.
This image is from art therapist Edward Adamson’s lecture slides: the original is missing, presumed lost
Painting: head and shoulders of a white woman with curly brown shoulder length hair, in profile facing right. Inside her a second profile like an anatomical drawing, skull and some musculature drawn in, from the top of their shared head a curled horn or shoot emerges, the style is almost like a panel from a comic book

On June 17th, 1885, the Statue of Liberty arrived in New York Harbor. A gift from France, the copper colossus is just over 151 feet or 46 meters tall.
#History #OTD
It was meant to mark the 100th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence and the preservation of democracy – and the Union, itself – after ending slavery and emerging from the U.S. Civil War. The French named the statue “Liberty Enlightening the World” and they liked her so much, they built smaller replicas for themselves. A black-and-white photo of the Statue of Liberty's right hand holding the torch. The bottom of this section of the statue (anatomically, the forearm) is in a tent with men milling about around it. The men appear to be as tall as one of the statue's fingers is long.

A black & white picture of The Statue of Liberty's head & torso (constructed second, after the hand holding the torch) sitting in the middle of a courtyard, on display at the Paris International Exposition where visitors paid to see her (before being sent to NYC). There are people standing looking at the statue & various statues close to her & a building in the distance.

Presented by France to the United States as a symbol of friendship and their alliance during the American Revolution, it was shipped in 350 individual pieces and packed in over 200 crates. Reassembled over the following year, the statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886, and stands for freedom, democracy, and hope. The statue was conceived by French political thinker Édouard de Laboulaye and designed by sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi.

This bears repeating over and over again. Indigenous people were the original people of North America.

While we're at it, France should take back their Statue of Liberty. Sadly, it's covered with Trump's spit.

In a ceremony held in Paris on July 4, 1884, the completed Statue of Liberty was formally presented to the U.S. ambassador as a commemoration of the friendship between France and the United States. #OnThisDay
