Don't glamorize Bali. Don't glamorize a place so poor that its citizens heavily rely on tourism, foreign investors & rich expats. Don't glamorize being "one with nature" on some spiritual healing bs in a country that murders Indigenous people because it wants their lands.

Don't glamorize being so poor in America that you go to a foreign country and all of a sudden that exchange rate makes you rich. Do not boost those people. Idc what that person's struggle is/was. Amplifying "move to Bali" is perpetuating genocide. West Papuans need land back.

I LOVE Angela Davis! I have recently been reading one of her works, and it made me aware of how our struggle as Indigenous people is explicitly tied to Black liberation as well. Which was the point of the tweet :) you are most welcome.
