From 1960-1996 Guatemalan govt engaged in a US funded genocidal war targeting Indigenous communities throughout the nation. The apex of the violence happens from 1981-84ish. Indigenous peoples and lands continue to be assaulted and encroached upon in service of global capitalism.

I want people to know that folks like these also hate poor Mexicans. They also hate Mexican deportees. And ideas around a heteropatriarchal, mestizo nationhood animates a lot of it. Myths of belonging are made possible through violent exclusions like these.

The afterlife of slavery is to reduce systematic and institutionalized anti-Black terror to something like this out of context and absurd analogy. This is disgusting.

This is not a good take. Reconsider centering tropes like these that rely on the political myths that US is somehow some beacon of light and not the catalyst for displacement, corruption, and dispossession throughout Central America for the past 100+ years.

How much do you have to believe in the promise of America to walk 1000 miles with your children, get tear-gassed at the border, and *still* want to come live here?

The precedent for white supremacist terror was set when first settler stepped foot on these lands. And today is another reminder of another link in that chain. That decision is not an aberration. It’s emblematic and reflective of what this country and all it’s institutions are.

As the violence of #LAPD continues to make national headlines remember the folks stolen are real people who belong to real families. Financially challenged families. In memory of #OscarLeonSanchez organized by South Central Mutual Aid #GoFundMe

Let’s take a moment and realize that thousands of people are walking thousands of miles w very few resources and no real guarantees for a chance to live and to build a future for their families and communities. That’s something.

URGENT: Coup attempt is underway in Bolivia right now. People’s movements are calling for mass mobilization to stop this attack on democracy. This is the 2nd coup since 2019 which overthrew Evo Morales in a plot supported by U.S. govt & Elon Musk

Community members in some of the most targeted regions continue to face violence and threats in order to placate and/or dispossess them of their lands and rivers in #Guatemala for mega projects like hydroelectric dams or mining projects for things like Barite.

A country that’s fundamentally grounded in and animated by violence continues to beget that violence. A violence that increasingly becomes a collective trauma as we all witness these acts of routinized violence from Akron to Highland Park.
