ACCURATE.

[Erica Nieves 🏔🏝 @ericacnieves]

This is literally what they think about Boricuas and BIPOC in general. This is not taken out of context, and any arguments that it is will just show how brainwashed you are.

We must abolish the death penalty.

Tonight, Missouri lynched another innocent Black man.

Governor Parson had the responsibility to save this innocent life, and he didn’t. The NAACP was founded in 1909 in response to the barbaric lynching of Black people in America — we were founded exactly because of people like Governor Parson who perpetuate violence against innocent Black people.

We will hold Governor Parson accountable. When DNA evidence proves innocence, capital punishment is not justice—it is murder.

Today we honor the memory of all those we lost on September 11, 2001. May we never forget their stories – and the bravery of our first responders and troops who sacrificed so much.

7-2. ICWA still stands. #ICWAStands

Chappelle made a lot of excuses for Kanye and Kyrie Irving's antisemitism on SNL last night. I want to focus on one idea in particular, because it's prevalent far beyond these 3 Black entertainers.

"The Jews control Hollywood."

The #ICWA case in #SCOTUS has me rage crying. See @rebeccanagle & @yunpovi for brilliant analysis. Listen, taking children has always been a tool of war & genocide. When you take children, you take a nation's future. Tribes are NATIONS. This is happening NOW in the USA in 2022!

It's day 4 and over a million people in Puerto Rico still don't have power. Thousands don't have water. And there's now a heat advisory, with the heat index reaching 112 on some parts of the Island. Don't let the 24 hour social media cycle just move past Hurricane Fiona.

Imagine an 100% blackout in your country in the year 2022. Now imagine you are controlled by the richest country in the history of the world.

Latinx heritage month is a way to completely erase & ignore the ongoing displacement, violence, and dispossessions of Indigenous, Afro-Indigenous, and Afro-Latinx peoples in the name of celebrating Latin American nationality. Can't celebrate anything when this is our reality.

[Erica Nieves 🏔🏝 @ericacnieves]

Lastly, don’t claim something clearly Indigenous to be Latinx just because that something is from Latin America. It is complete erasure and a continuation of colonialism.

Happy Latinx Heritage Month.

[Erica Nieves 🏔🏝 @ericacnieves]

My thoughts on Latinx Heritage Month: it’s personally hard celebrating being colonized. While the fact is that I do have Spanish heritage, in addition to my Indigenous heritages, because of colonialism.

[Erica Nieves 🏔🏝 @ericacnieves]

Or flat out not saying what their lineages are is contributing to colonization (and possibly family problems down the line).
