I needed to write this. May it be useful. It is a letter I needed to write to my mental health.

This Fourth of July, we’re not confused.

While they light fireworks, we light candles for the disappeared. While they pledge allegiance, we pledge to each other.

We don’t celebrate colonizers’ holidays. We build FREEdom.

#Decolonize #usa #4thofjuly

I DON’T CELEBRATE COLONIZER’S INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Freedom is land back.
Freedom is Borikén libre.
Freedom is no human being illegal on stolen land.
Freedom is our children knowing their names, languages & medicine.

Until ALL of are free,
none of us are free.

ICE raided #ScholarCraft in Birmingham, a factory making desks for schoolchildren. 30+ workers detained. Sorted by papers.

Nobody crosses deserts to steal an identity. They come to feed their babies.

Know your rights. Show up. Organize.

Today outside UN, a man set himself on fire wrapped in the Tibetan flag.

US empire won’t save Tibet.
Self-determination isn’t a bargaining chip, it’s sacred.

Free Tibet.
Free all occupied peoples.

Asé. Amen. En Lak’ech. Ubuntu.

source: @nytimes thoughts: mine ICE quietly doubled its quota to 2,000 arrests a day, 10,000 in 5 days, zero press conferences. A machine hitting a quota, while detention tops 63,000. This is state-sanctioned terror dressed as “enforcement.” We see you. We will not be silent. ✊🏽

Outside hospital they brought me almost 30 years ago, after I tried to take my life.
Pain’s a story I’ve made peace with. What remains is my mom’s face, she never left. Because of her, I’m alive today.
Please, get help. You don’t have to carry it alone. #mentalhealth

SCOTUS ruled 6-3 to uphold state bans on trans girls in school sports. This is not about sports. It’s about whether trans people exist in public life at all. Our trans siblings are sacred. Their dignity not up for a vote. https://t.co/7eZH9C0TpP #translivesmatter🏳️‍⚧️

They tried to erase us on Day 1. Today Supreme Court said no. 5-4.
All persons born here are citizens.
But one ruling does not end war. Raids continue. Detention camps continue. Children are still being separated.

Episode 5 of Ancestral Intelligence is live. “Shedding Whiteness,” a spoken word reckoning with everything they asked us to become just to survive their rooms.

This is not the beginning of my voice. This is the end of your hold on it.
