Meet Valentina Ramos 💛, a talented painter from a fishing village on Vivencia’s pacific coast. While she loves creating murals and doodling in her sketchbook, being a community organizer consumes most of her time. #characterturnaround #characterexpressions #expressionsheet #animationart #indie

She organizes against fossil fuel extraction and against the narco & paramilitary violence that has impacted her community. She dreams of a more just Vivencia where people don’t have to live in fear of violence, and has dedicated herself to creating that reality. Learn more: www.peleaanimation.com

It’s Indigenous children. In camps. This unfortunately has never changed. Indian boarding schools. Reservations. Forts. This is the life we’ve always known. The life we’ve lived for American comfort. 😞

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Praise for “A BETTER WORLD IS POSSIBLE: Global Youth Confront the Climate Crisis” 📚🌎🌍🌏 @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social says “This book is an urgent, helpful, and hopeful portrait of what’s possible when young people come together to fight for a better world.” Pre-order: abetterworldthebook.org

It’s a weird gift the new owners are so incompetent, stripping TikTok of what made it TikTok so blatantly, that’s there’s been a mass exodus overnight. Evidence that people migrate when the conditions are not good. Almost like immigration is natural and a part of being human. Interesting.

US government rn

everyone calls Americans and America "rich." but oh... we are so poor. poor in support. poor in community. poor in values. poor in culture. poor in safety. poor in freedom. poor in justice. poor. one of the poorest countries, in fact. we may have air conditioning. but at what cost?

Seeing the US imperialist expansion into Venezuela is heartbreaking. We don’t have the death toll yet but I’m sure, seeing all those bombs, it was high. The US Empire is not the bringer of peace and liberation. I will keep creating and dreaming but the world feels so heavy. La Pelea continua ⛰️🪶🦅
