Indigenous campesinos marched in formation on San Cristóbal de las Casas in Chiapas, Mexico and toppled the statue of conquistador Diego de Mazariegos on Oct. 12, 1992 in a rehearsal for the 1994 Zapatista Uprising. #Zapatista #OTD #Indigenous #Columbus #Decolonize

mind insubstantial like empty sky;
thoughts unestablished like breezes in space.
Think about these three points over and over.”
