Lockofspades - The Underground

So my post on Oklahoma making it legal to take indigenous children from their parents without tribal consent is blowing up, and I'm glad people are horrified. But what I need people to know is that this might happen on a national level.

The Supreme Court is debating overturning the Indian Child Welfare Act.

What this act does is give Native American and Alaska Native tribes and nations control over the foster and adoption placement of their children. To overturn it would be to say tribes and nations aren't sovereign, and it would also allow the U.S. government to forcibly assimilate indigenous children into other cultures.

Please:

Spread the word about what is happening.

Read online news articles about this; the more traffic on those articles, the more likely the press is to write more articles.

If there are protests in your area, join them.

If there are indigenous nations or tribes in your area, ask them how you can help.

Donate to indigenous rights organizations like Native American Rights Fund.

Write to your representatives.

If ICWA falls, keep all of the above up. Don't just shrug and think it's over.

This is correct. I'm currently watching Justice League Dark and his entire thing is him playing out every scenario and words in his head then him just saying "Hn" or Hm" or him just huffing

The best part about Batman is that 75% of his characterization can be split into this format:

Internally: [dramatic rant about (insert relevant topic/character/memory)]

Externally: “Hn.”

Aw yes my tumblr home page

hi tumblr im back (thank u to oomf for putting me on this)

please reblog this if it is okay to anonymously confess something to you.

reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point

I would like to apologize for the person I will become when the Percy Jackson tv show comes out. It will be my entire personality, after one teaser trailer I talked about only that for a month straight. I am about to make it everyone’s problem

A brilliant explanation of consent for anyone who STILL doesn’t get it. 

Some of yall needed to hear this
