genocide, Haiti, DR, usa 

“1937: Between 17,000 to 35,000 Haitians living in the #DominicanRepublic are massacred by the Dominican armed forces on the orders of President Rafael Trujillo. U.S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull subsequently declared ‘President Trujillo is one of the greatest men in Central America and in most of South America.’”

This is during #FDR's ~New Deal~ government that “socialist” politicians like Bernie Sanders & the Green Party take so much inspiration from.

On another note, there are some blue and gold macaws that live in the area! I always think about them and wish for them to be well bc I don’t want them to be harmed by poachers. 6 of them congregate at the nearby park in like parrot community meetings but they actually live in pairs, and I just saw a pair of them fly over my home while cawing to each other! 🥺

Manufacturing futures begins in the imagination. Removing the limits the colonial project and capitalist project have placed on imagination through indoctrination is the first step and walking with the knowledge that your imagination can shape reality through regularly acting on it is the second. Removing the lens of antiblackness and committing to that as a daily practice is absolutely necessary, otherwise we will never get free. Never.

Imagining a world where imperialism and leaving ppl behind to bare the brunt of cruelties + lack of resources just so a class of people can be comfortable and relish in excess is a dealbreaker and commonly viewed as morally reprehensible

Imagining a world where instead of bullying ppl to vote for an old lying ass imperialist white supremacist to replace another old lying ass imperialist white supremacist and presenting those as the only two options, energy was directed into pushing people to organize in our local communities and set up ways to more effectively deliver mutual aid to each other and encouraging each other that theres more we can do than just vote. There are other tangible actions. The world is not a binary

Hey yall!
Guess what! I started a patreon page!

Over the next few months, I'm going to be working on a 2D hand animated short to submit to festivals. I will be posting updates on how that's going weekly, along with my other creations!

As a patron you'd see unique illustrations, sketches, & content and you also get goodies too! If you want to support a black artist and join me for an inside look on my art journey, come check it out! 🖤
