“Umm it will actually be very difficult for universities to divest from israel and arms manufacturers without tuition skyrocketing 🤓☝🏼” why is the financial stability of a college (and the economy at large, especially in the us) so reliant on what amounts to war profiteering to begin with? Why is that an inevitability that we’re supposed to accept?
Maternity kits, medical threads and scissors, water testing kits, anesthetics, mobile desalination units, etc do you see the pattern? Israel is not only starving the people of Gaza but it also wants to ensure the spread of disease through contaminated water and surgical tools, as well as ensuring injured Palestinians suffer through horrendous pain.

Its Red Dress Day/MMIWG2 day in Canada and non-ndn (indigenous) Canadians know nothing about it.
If you live in Canada - you are not "better" than the USA or UK. There is still an ACTIVE GENOCIDE against my people on our native lands which you invaded.
Our missing murded indigenous women and girls in Canada shall live in our hearts forever.
Muscogee Creek artist Maddie Lamb painted a large MMIW mural in Muskogee, Oklahoma, to bring attention to the cause of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.
May 5 is the Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People. (Also known as Red Dress Day.)
Show your support and pass on your strength by wearing red on May 5, and raising awareness. And if you have never read the Reclaiming Power and Place report, you can do so here.
Additionally, while the day is typically centred in Turtle Island, let us also not forget our international cousins, especially in Palestine and Sudan.
Just some incomplete notes as a friendly reminder that
May 5th is National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, February 14th is the date for MMIW Marches across Canada, and October 4th is the day of Vigil for our stolen sisters
MMIW also includes girls as young as infants, and gender diverse individuals → MMIWG2S+
While government organizations appear to be raising awareness, creating National Action Plans and declaring National Emergencies, police are complicit in kidnapping and murdering our people wether through acts of violence (for personal gratification or to enable further extractive development which increases raises risk factors) or refusal to investigate (due to jurisdictional issues, to cover it up, or because they’re conditioned to believe that our deaths aren’t worth explaining and that our lives don’t matter).
Colonial violence is alive and well, and it’s up to each and every one of us to contribute to meaningful changes to protect our women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people.
There are tons of resources for learning more, but I highly recommend checking out Sovereign Bodies Institute at https://www.sovereign-bodies.org/
Today is Red dress day. Remember and Honour all of the Native Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two spirits that have gone missing and have been murdered. Most of these cases are never heard in the public and they are sadly forgotten. Today I want to spread awareness for all Indigenous people, I want to share my culture and help others understand the importance of sharing stories from these victims.
I will be donating as well on this day to several sites that support native women and girls. And also a few sites that want to protect ICWA. I suggest you do the same but if you are not financially able to then spread awareness respectfully.🧡🧡
(I’m doing Donation commission 50% of the profits go to NICWA! this post-> https://www.tumblr.com/walterdoodles/719214714265255936/im-opening-up-some-donation-commissions-if-you )
may 5th. red dress day. wear red. hang a red dress. educate. learn. post. please spread awareness of the tragedies the indigenous community has been facing for decades. mmiwg2s is a severe emergency and the government ignores their cases or doesn’t care to finish the case of the missing murdered indigenous women girls and 2 spirited peoples. speak up. stand with us. not just today, but everyday. it’s just as important as other world issues.
