On May 13, 1985, Philadelphia police dropped explosives containing C-4 on the roof of a house where members of the black liberation & social justice organization MOVE lived. Right before, police attacked the house with 10,000 rounds of ammunition in 90 minutes, knowing that children were inside. The house burned for 45 minutes before hoses were turned on.
Eleven people, including founder John Africa, five adults & five children were killed. The incident also destroyed 65 homes in the area, leaving 250 homeless. Witnesses reported police officers shooting at those trying to escape from the fire that ensued.
MOVE continues to advocate for prisoners’ rights & for the release of Mumia Abu-Jamal & nine MOVE members who were found guilty of the murder of a police officer in 1978.
And I thought this kind of thing stopped after the 1920s…

Understand colorblinders out there. Please get it.
This. People who say they are colorblind sound like they are basically saying “I’m not going to see you as (Black/Brown), because that means I have to acknowledge your race means something different in society than my [whiteness] does. So instead it’s just easier to see you the way I see white people and completely ignore that the white experience is fundamentally different than the PoC experience.”

I have *feelings* about Maleficent. I can’t really articulate them.
You mean like how she’s terrifying and awesome?
And focused. Good Lord, is she focused. She could be an Evil Life Coach giving talks about Setting Goals and Achieving Them.

Megara
(from Hercules)
Hey guys! I’m drawing more Disney warriors again! And who better to start off my new round of Disney Fighters than the fierce, Greek princess, Meg(ara)!I love Meg. She has the absolute catchiest princess song and is sassy as hell. She’s strong, clever and is taking absolutely none of your shit today.
For her design I retained her main dress but added some armor and leather straps so she can kick some ass. She has a long ranged double ended spear so she doesn’t need to get too close to deal out the damage.
See the rest of the Disney cast under my Disney tag or here.
Thoughts?
Technically Meg is not a Princess. (But many of the “Princesses” in the Disney line aren’t actually Princesses.)
But I adore this.
Technically Meg *is* a princess in the Disney version. Hercules was the son of the Zeus and Hera, the King and Queen of the gods, which would make Herc a prince. Marrying Megara would make her a princess.
But never mind because MEG! Beautiful, amazing, underrated Meg.
I totally forgot that Herc was a Prince. Ok, you’re right. She becomes a Princess by marriage.
My bad! LOL
LOL it’s really a nitpick because the title doesn’t matter to me (Mulan, Esmeralda, Pocahontas, Jane)…but then again Meg gets no respect in the marketing department with Disney because the movie, for some reason, wasn’t as popular (neither do Esmeralda, Kida, or Jane for that matter), so I always feel like I have to speak up for my bb Meg.
