Now is the time, now is the hour. Ours is the magic, ours is the power. Amazing protest by @witchboston 🔮🌙✨ I find it so baffling that this is still happening and so prominent more than ever. White supremacists can go fuck themselves. As a tri-racial woman I have seen bigotry and white supremacists in action and it is one of the most disgusting things to witness. How can we allow this to happen? This isn't only an "American" problem, here in Australia we have politicians and key speakers sprouting hate against POC, Asians - basically anyone who isn't Caucasian and therefore not "true blue" or a "true Australian" fuck outta here - fueling islamophobia and saying no to allowing LGBT to marry. We have the power to change this, to make a difference and take a stand. I rarely make this page personal but I can't stand by without saying this, I think it's so important to speak up. Know that I will always stand up and speak up for any minority, any one who has been victimised or targeted. We are not afraid 🔮HEX WHITE SUPREMACY🌙 #againstwhitesupremacy #hexwhitesupremacy #witchboston #againsttrump #resisttrump #antitrump #pussygrabsback

Protest Sketchbook from the anti-nazi action at Boston Common

August 19, 2017

I drove out from the west for the day, bringing my boyfriend along for his first protest ever.

We couldn't even see the "free speech" [fascist] crowd, because there were so very few of them and so very many of us. I was thrilled to be a tiny insignificant cog in that grand machine. I was happy to spend time with my much-younger and now very accomplished cousin. Also great to see so many different factions of liberals/leftists/anti-racists/people of good will generally standing together to show that for all its flaws Boston will not be fertile ground for these assholes. Much love in particular to the artists, musicians, and theatrical actions.

Witches ilusm 💖💫✨

I didn't see any of the run-ins with the police or the arrests, in fact I had already left before I heard about them, due to just how massive this thing was. I support anti-racists and anti-fascists and I hope they're all bailed out, supported, and home soon. We can get phenomenal numbers of people together and out in the streets, today proved that the Women's March wasn't a fluke.

That final spread is based on aerial photos and what I saw, but you need to imagine about 8 more sheets of paper tacked on to show even just the counter-protesters on the Common, and many more for the march. The trick is that we need to ACTUALLY DO IT. Fascists need to see that no city in America is home turf for them, and after Charlottesville they won't take us by surprise again.

Listen to the people on the ground in your towns - BLM, labor organizers, antifa, indivisible, whoever you trust - and when they say they need you, SHOW UP. I haven't ever been good at this, so this is a pep talk to myself more than anything aimed at anyone else.

Day 2. June 24, 2020.

I had another early day today. First we drove two bodies up to the airport and my trainer showed me the paperwork needed to be able to ship HR (human remains) on a plane. He showed me where air cargo was and backed the van up to the loading dock. The employees helped us move the body onto their equipment and we went inside to finalize the paperwork and head out. We got back to the funeral home only to receive another call about a body in a hospital about two hours away, past where we just were. We hopped back in the van and ventured up there. Once we arrived the first security officer met us by the morgue. He called for backup because he knew the body belonged to a big guy. It did indeed take 4 of us to lift him onto our gurney and get him into the van. After that we drove back to the funeral home. Then, it was time for my first solo adventure. I had been asked to take a body up to the airport we were at earlier. I set off and followed my trainer's every step as I had watched earlier at the airport. It was a little weird at first. No one else, just me and a body in a large cardboard box. The drop off went perfectly and I finally made it back to the funeral home with no problems. I made it home at 7pm and had my first meal of the day.

Inspired by friends' recent drawing/making/stitching challenges, I've been thinking about doing one for awhile. So, Witches. One a day in October. I'm currently collecting inspiration so if you've got any favorite witch pics, let me know! There will definitely be more hoops inspired by @witchpdx @witchboston and W.I.T.C.H. in general. A #witchaday keeps the patriarchy away. #resist (at Portland, Oregon)

#Repost @witchboston with @get_repost ・・・ This is Rebecca Adducci. She is the new interim director of ICE in Boston and says that “under her leadership the Boston ICE office will strictly follow President Trump's Jan. 25 executive order on immigration. This means that any undocumented immigrant - not specifically violent criminals or others deemed as dangerous - can be held in detention.” She was notoriously cruel as the ICE director in Detroit and famously deported the only care giver to a child with down syndrome. You can read more about her reputation in Michigan here: Adducci is known for being unusually cruel and law-avoiding from her work in Detroit: https://americasvoice.org/press_releases/adducci-separating-families/ This is happening here. Not just at the border in states that are 100s of miles away from us, but right here. If you see this woman make sure she feels unwelcome. Make Boston an intolerable place for her hateful, horrific actions. Not by being civil or polite. ICE must be abolished. #abolishice #fuckice #immigration #trump #resisttrump #boston #ICE #igersboston

#Repost with @witchboston Columbus was a coward and a slaver and we were lied to as children. He never set foot on anything that would belong to the United States of America. He didn’t prove that Earth is round. He kicked off the bloodshed that would eventually lead to the founding of America, a country built on the backs of dead indigenous people and Africans. It’s blood all the way down. None of this is up for debate. The man’s diary itself is available, and immediately upon seeing the natives of Hispaniola he starts envisioning how they can be used to his advantage. He was a terrible person. The myths we are taught as children gloss over the violent and unfair history of this country, and until those myths cease being taught we will still sneer at those populations here who stand up and ask politely that the weapon of the state please stop killing them. The smallest step we could possibly take in that direction is to stop celebrating Christopher Columbus. Columbus wasn’t brave, he was terrible. The Civil War was absolutely fought over slavery. The economy of America absolutely depended on a workforce of people treated as property. These are tragedies and there’s nothing that can be done about them. We can’t go back in time and bring back to life the millions of indigenous people wiped out by disease and war upon the arrival of the Europeans. We can’t go back in time and stop slavery in its tracks when the first slave ship arrives on American shores in 1619. These things happened and they are finished, etched in time. However, we still feel their effects today. African Americans have been legally defined as second-class humans since the writing of the Constitution until the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and socially so until the present day. Acknowledging this fact will help us right the wrongs of today. Native Americans have been pushed to the sidelines, to the brink of extinction, yet still they hold the ground they stand on and fight for recognition. We can listen to them. #indigenouspeoplesday #nativeliberation #abolishcolumbusday #indigenousrights words via @thecolinfisher (we posted the full article on twitter and have made minor edits here for reasons

If a knee in Freddie Gray’s back upset people as much as a knee on the ground, this protest would already be over. #TAKEAKNEE - Every player. Every game. Every Sport. We support every athlete and fan taking a knee today and every day to protest police violence on our black communities. Trump called the white supremacists in Charlottesville “very fine people” but called @Kaepernick7 and all other athletes exercising their first amendment constitutional right to protest a “son of a bitch who should be fired.” Police have killed over 223 black Americans since the beginning of @Kapernick7’s anthem protest, but you’re really going to turn this into a discussion about people doing their job and protesting on their own time? How about the police do their job of protecting and serving and not killing us? When veterans are coming out to say they fought for your right to protest and express your constitutional rights, it’s time to take a knee on the right side of history. #blacklivesmatter #takeaknee #standwithkaepernick
