The organizer of a rally in support of mass deportations on Monday said the rally is about enforcing existing laws, not promoting violence.
LONG POST BUT IMPORTANT, SO FORGIVE ME
I've been meaning to make this post for awhile, but I've been so demoralized just thinking about it so I kept putting it off.
This Saturday, August 1st, Greg. Fucking. Bovino. of overseeing Minneapolis immigration murders and shitty nazi cosplay fame, is coming to Fishers, IN- MY CITY. He's going to be a keynote speaker at Save Heritage Indiana's "Mass Deportation Rally" (Along with Micah Beckwith, our Lt Gov and pedophile-befriending pastor.)
"The event begins at 7 p.m. on Aug. 1. Poynter said for security reasons, attendees will not learn the exact location until shortly beforehand," and I have heard (unverified) that they've actually been struggling to find a venue to host them. These sensitive manbaby fucks KNOW what they're doing is unpopular. (*Additional note- apparently seats are invite-only and $50 a head, OR you can pay $500 to have dinner with Bovino. 🙃)
THAT BEING SAID- several local groups, including local Indivisible groups, Food Not Bombs, Indy Resistance, Somos Latinos, and several more are hosting a HOOSIER HOSPITALITY MARCH.
The point is to bring people together in support of our immigrant neighbors and show strength in numbers. It's from 3-6pm on the same day (this Saturday.) The route takes the march by the Al Huda Mosque where people are encouraged to bring non-perishables for their food pantry, and ends in a vigil for those taken and murdered by ICE and DHS.
I REALLY want people to attend.
I plan on showing up with my D&D group and some wagons filled with whistle kits, gatorade, and snacks to make sure people stay hydrated.
If you live within, like, a 2 hour drive of central Indiana, PLEASE consider bringing some friends and attending. I so badly want the march to overwhelm my city.
If you can't attend but want to help or contribute in some way, feel free to donate via my ko-fi. I will be using donations to fund snacks, waterbottles, first aid kits, etc. to bring to the march. Anything in addition will be donated to the mosque!
ICE is opening an office about 15 minutes away from me. Since learning about it, this image has been lurking in my mind and I had to get it
The image above is PWYW, so you can donate through there and get a high res of this image to do with as you please in exchange!
Anyway, thanks for listening. Please consider spreading the word.
The reason I always bring up obscure Vertigo comics and shit every time the topic of superhero "deconstruction" comes up isn't because I'm playing gotcha. It's because I'm trying to illustrate that if you think you've got something clever to say, but your critique of the medium fails to rise even to the level of self-directed criticism that fucking DC Comics is willing to put their name to, you need to reexamine your premises.
Like, if your conceptual takedown of Superman ends up being the sort of thing that the multinational media corporation that owns Superman has a history of printing with their logo on the cover, it's not a big reach to conclude that you aren't going far enough.
