Hey! Just a quick reminder that Cinco de Mayo is not widely celebrated in Mexico, nor is it Mexican Independence Day. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army’s victory in a battle against the French in 1862, in what is known as the Battle of Puebla, and it is only celebrated... well, in Puebla and in the US by white people who would probably yell at me to go back to my country if they ever caught me speaking Spanish in their presence.

Now if y’all still want to honor Mexico in this day, you might not be aware of the train that collapsed on Mexico City during the night on May 3th due to governmental negligence, which left several people gravelly injured and some people sadly passed away. They were all working class, and they don’t have the resources to pay their medical bills, and the government is not being helpful at all with their situation. Here’s an article about it and how you can help.

Also here are some links about what’s happening in Colombia and Latin America as a whole.

Some people will stand up and fight for injustices happening to fictional characters but won't show the same passion to stand up for real, actual living people.

What is happening in Colombia right now?

If this happened in the United States, people would be outraged. Internacional media is not talking about this. Please, reblog this! Let the people of Colombia be heard!

can you take a break from blogging about mexico? it’s kinda annoying :/

it’s annoying? lemme tell you what’s really annoying 

mexico is trending because of cinco de mayo instead of because of what’s happening there. cinco de mayo isn’t that big of a celebration but y’all wanna talk about that instead of about how a train collapsed because of the shitty materials that were used on it. saving money was more important to the government than keeping their residents safe 

colombians are protesting their corrupt president and getting killed by the police sent by him. they’re fighting for their lives and no ones talking about it.

multiple countries are protesting the rise in murders towards women, most of which are murdered by a partner that they had already reported. they’re being killed and the justice department is simply taking the blame off themselves by saying “they should’ve said something about it”. 

if you think me doing the bare minimum by reblogging posts and trying to raise awareness is annoying, you can get the fuck out, i don’t care 

Edit: TERFS STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THIS POST
