The white-washing of MLK jr. and the civil rights movement on a whole to make history look kindly upon white folk and convince POC of the disempowering lie that is “Be polite, nice, & don’t challenge us & you’ll get your rights” is one that disgusts me to no end.

The Wall Street Journal of 5 May offers evidence, additional to that already accumulated, that last year’s NATO military intervention in Libya was rooted in objections to the Gadhafi government’s economic policies.
According to the newspaper, private oil companies were incensed at the pro-Libyan oil deals the Gadhafi government was negotiating and “hoped regime change in Libya…would bring relief in some of the tough terms they had agreed to in partnership deals” with Libya’s national oil company.

These sorts of cartoons were very common during the “bicycle craze” of the late 1800s and were intended to create public opposition to women riding bicycles. Kate Beaton, of course, interprets them in the most awesome and feminist of ways.
Looks like she’s doing the right thing.

Anytime I come across art of Our Lady of Guadalupe it reminds me of Alma Lopez and then I just look at all of her work again and get inspired.
