Rest in Power, Assata Shakur. You died as we always knew you would: in freedom. The colonizers will never have the pleasure of having brought you to their twisted version of "justice", but we will always have your legacy to help guide the way to liberation.

Rest in power, Simone Senogles 🦋 Instagram post by @ienearth.bsky.social and Indigenous Rising: www.instagram.com/p/DO6zrtGEsKg/
