Janequeo (late 1500s, Chile):
The Rebel Spain Never Caught
Tons more info at the main site entry (click here) - but real quick, as for the “did this happen” question: Chile’s most celebrated historian says no. But this whole story is a bit odd - it comes from the Spanish, and the Mapuche seemingly don’t have much of a history of it, at least not one I could find. Nevertheless, Janequeo’s story illustrates the very real indomitable spirit of the Mapuche. They’re an society in some incredibly horrific circumstances, like the Dakota Access Pipeline protests except increasingly escalated and militarized for decades. They have a very small English language footprint, but the Mapuche Nation Twitter account seems to be a good place to start.
For all my fellow leftists, be cautious when using social media to organize and mobilize. The United States government has tracked leftist movements by their online activity before and will certainly do so again.
Also, for leftists who are planning to organize and mobilize on college campuses, be cautious of who you allow into your movement. Always be on your guard. Remember what happened with COINTELPRO.
Stay safe.
i hate republican latinos so much omg u side with social conversatism assuming u’ll benefit from white supremacy AT the expense of latinos u deem embarrassing like that is so sad
apparently this election had the highest percentage of republican-voting latinos so i just wanna say i hate all of you
um white ppl cant reblog this…… this is an intra-community issue…….. we have to talk about the colorism/antiblackness and general bigotry that led to 33% of the latino vote going to trump. and we can’t ignore that white/white-passing latinos had a larger voice in this election
You can definitely retire the “white old cishet male” as synonymous with racism in America not that they aren’t, but bitch young white people, gay white men, white women etc. all voted trump. And we knew they would.
Anonymous asked: so you know how wiccans are like "you shouldnt curse because of the three fold law!" Originally the three fold law was a warning to people not to betray witches because the curse they would put on you would be three times worse than whatever you did. There's also the twelve fold law; if one witch betrays the coven they will be cursed times 12 (because a coven would have 13 witches). so technically the three fold law is a witches' curse
