Dolores Cacuango, also known as Mamá Doloreyuk, was a leader in the fight for indigenous rights in Ecuador born on this day in 1881. She was active in the Glorious May Revolution of 1944 and co-founded the Indigenous Federation of Ecuador (FEI).
Cacuango was born to enslaved people in San Pablourco who worked the Pesillo Hacienda near Cayambe without being paid. She had no access to education due to her lack of resources, and learned Spanish while working as a housemaid.
In 1930, Cacuango was among the leaders of the historic workers' strike at the Pesillo hacienda in Cayambe, which was a milestone for indigenous and peasant rights. During the Glorious May Revolution in Ecuador, Cacuango personally led an assault on a government military base.
The same year, with the help of Ecuador's Communist Party, Cacuango co-founded the Indigenous Federation of Ecuador (FEI), an early group in the fight for indigenous rights. She also helped establish some of the first bilingual indigenous schools.

Theory:
When the devil Malbolgia called out to Al Simmons in the darkness he offered him a choice. A choice between good and evil. I'm Todd McFarlane, the creator of Spawn, and my stories reflect my belief that no one is either all good or all evil. Some of the worst people can have a little bit of good in them, even if that doesn't stop you from publicly hating them for decades or them from taking shots at you. People like Jim Salicrup. Or Peter David. Or John Byrne. Or the entire editorial board at Marvel. Or Rob Liefeld, who couldn't get fucking Youngblood out on time. And don't get me started on that limey fuck Neil Gaiman. What was I talking about?
I don't get these posts. But I upbear them all the same. Thank you.
Thank you.
HBO made an animated series adaptation of Spawn in the 90s, and each episode came with an intro by Todd McFarlane
Okay that makes a lot more sense. From the image I thought it was the ant man guy. Cheers for the explainer!
I should not have clicked that. This voice does not live up to what I was hearing in my head as I read these.
