Alejandro Cartagena - The Car Poolers (2012)

“A bridge is situated on a highway that goes from the Mexican city of Nuevo Laredo — across the United States border in Laredo, Texas — due south to Monterrey. In the winter early-morning hours, Cartagena stood there, pointing his lens down at the passing cars, like a distracted spy.

He was peeking into the backs of the pickup trucks, where construction workers pile together on their way to earn an honest living. Car Poolers is an effort to peer inside these tiny worlds that straddle public and private.”

oatmeal: The gay marriage debate in 50 years

womenwhokickass:

(#33 Burma) Aung San Suu Kyi, why she kicks ass:

  • She is a Burmese politician who has campaigned non-violently to resist one strongly brutal dictatorship.
  • She’s currently the Chairperson and General Secretary of the National League for Democracy in Burma.
  • She was a political prisoner and had to endure house arrest for fifteen years. She was offered freedom if she left the country, but she refused.
  • Once she was released from house arrest, she started making plans to free “the faces the regime wants you to forget”, meaning the remaining 2,100 political prisoners in Burma.
  • She has fought for democracy and the right of people to govern themselves.
  • She has received numerous awards for her work, including: the Rafto Prize in 1990, the Sahkharov Prize for Freedom of Thought in 1990, the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991, the  Jawaharla Nehru Award for International Understanding in 1992, the International Simón Bolivar prize was awarded to her in 1992 by the Venezuelan government. In addition, Canada made her an honorary citizen of that country in 2007. In 2011 she was awarded the Wallenberg Medal, and on 2012, she was presented with the Congressional Gold Medal, which is, along with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the United States.
  • She also has worked with the United Nations in the struggle to free the Burmese people.
  • She fights for the freedom of women whom under the Burmese government have been brutalized, have suffered from extreme poverty, and have been raped as a weapon of war.

eltigrechico:

This is tragic. Black people have been trained to worship some dead old racist white man who wanted to send them all to Africa because he “freed” them. Which teaches them that they owe their very freedom not to themselves but to white people who, as she put it “gave them” their liberties. Liberties are not “given”. Black people are born with their liberty. White People infringed upon it, and eventually the worst aspect of that was brought to an end, but that isn’t a gift. If someone were to put you in a cage, you owe them no gratitude if they release you. They have not given you your liberty, they have simply gotten tired of trying to deprive you of what is rightfully yours.

The Emancipation Proclamation didn’t “free” anybody. It only applied to seceding states (where it held no power) and excluded Union States where there were slaves.

As Lincoln’s Secretary of State William Seward put it

“We show our sympathy with slavery by emancipating slaves where we cannot reach them and holding them in bondage where we can set them free.”

Lincoln didn’t give a fuck about you. You don’t need to be thankful to him for anything.
