Campaigning to #decolonize the world from home in so-called CA. Start by returning the self to balance & watch wildfire spread, as nature intended, globally.

As is my August 21 tradition, I will be revisiting "Regarding Cocktails", remembering a friend, mentor and inspiration, Sasha Petraske, who died on this day 8 years ago. Wherever you are, hold a proper daiquiri high at 9pm EST in his honor. He is missed by many.

@ActiveNorCal *Goats and sheep. And they're not cleaning out fuels, they're helping to dry out surface fuels by removing the shade break (the leafy green material that isn't so flammable) while aerating the surface fuels (duff, brush, etc) so it'll burn hotter with nothing to stop the climb.

@wildland_zko You're a machine, Zeke. As always, thanks for what you do.

I'd like to know about the Head Fire on the Klamath/Scott Rivers. McKinney was close to this area last year and this confluence is one of the most important areas in Karuk territory.

"In particular, the complaint alleges that the out-of-date water quality standards–last updated in the mid-1990s-have allowed a proliferation of harmful algal blooms, collapse of native fish & riparian vegetation species,” according to a press statement from the Tribes & groups."

#EnvironmentalJustice IS #RacialJustice there is no separating the two.

@wildland_zko Thanks for doing this, Zeke.

@_jadebegay Cognitive dissonance is a symptom of the disease that may as well be smallpox blankets.

The co-release of Barbie and Oppenheirmer is not a coincidence. "Conspiracy theorists" are easy to dismiss.

[Ⓐ K @JSimcha]

@_jadebegay The entire narrative (since 1492) is purposefully confusing. The colonized literally worship at the church that takes the children away to be tortured/assimilated. Fly the flag the murderers fly when "conquering" new territories. Celebrate veterans. LITERAL Stockholm Syndrome.

[Ⓐ K @JSimcha]

It's sarcasm, in case it wasn't clear. The non-profit/military/prison industrial complex is not going to save us. History must repeat itself and quickly. Off with their heads.

"Recreational & commercial salmon fishing is closed on the ocean in CA and most of OR this year, due to the collapse of fall-run Chinook salmon on the Sacramento & Klamath River watersheds, spurred by poor (read: greedy) water & fishery management by state & Fed governments."

[Ⓐ K @JSimcha]

@KanielaIng Why must so many of us wait until disaster strikes to come together in this way. Imagine if this many people showed up to escort the haoles to the airport and the colonizers to he11. #Decolonize is a verb.

[Ⓐ K @JSimcha]

@deleteme12341 @alikat747 @CaliforniaDFW The entire problem with this world summed up in seven "words".

You know what they say about HOPE, Ali. "Nobody delete me 12341", much like the wolf "they" advocate killing (rather than protecting livestock), is an apex, too... not predator, but dissonant. Stockholm syndrome!

WOLF CLAN!! HELP US!! PLEASE do some things that will make the Orca Clan proud. (And stay away from shortsighted ranchers with guns!)

NEWS RELEASE: New Gray Wolf Pack Confirmed In Tulare County

[Ⓐ K @JSimcha]

@CalTrout Just ANOTHER example of demonstrably failed systems, corporate negligence and bureacratic ineptitude, all colliding in a profit-driven "reality" that has enough bootlicking lapdogs suffering from Stockholm syndrome supporting it that it continues unabated. #Decolonize or die.

[Ⓐ K @JSimcha]

COLONIAL. GREED.

NON-NATIVE INVASIVES!

HUMANS are not the problem. COLONIALISM is.

#DECOLONIZE (before it's too late!)

[Uahikea Maile @uahikea]

Colonial greed transformed the wetlands of Lāhainā. This included water diversions for sugar plantations & land use change from agricultural production to livestock grazing. The same invasive grasses that white sugar barons planted in 19 & 20c exploded like napalm in high winds.

[Ⓐ K @JSimcha]

This type of organization and self-determination needs to be replicated the world over! #Decolonize NOW!! (Before it's too late.)

[Voices in Movement @VIM_Media]

20 years since the Zapatista Caracoles in Chiapas, Mexico began! Collective organization & Indigenous self-determination! ❤️🖤☀️🔥🐌 #EZLN🎥:@GranOM @Bungalodub

[Ⓐ K @JSimcha]

@wildland_zko @PGE4Me @CA_Salmon SECONDED! Allowing this felonious corporation to continue doing business in California is criminal. The amount of destruction they are causing near powerlines around the state is staggering. Removing trees, creating hot spots, leaving mountains of fuel on the ground... MADNESS!!

[Ⓐ K @JSimcha]

Nowhere is it more clear right now how dire the situation on earth is. #Decolonize is not just a hashtag. It's an urgent #CallToAction. #FireRx is #LandBack in action. We either burn on our terms or nature's. We know which we prefer. #LahainaFires

[Zeke Lunder ~ The Lookout @wildland_zko]

I got ahold of some open satellite data from @Maxar and made this YouTube video of the Lahaina area, showing damage block by block.
Really a terrible scene, with so much trauma to come, but I am hoping this is helpful.

Let. The. Fires. Burn.

If landowners harden their homes & use beneficial fire on their own properties, when fire inevitably visits their neighborhood, it will burn with significantly less intensity and be exponentially easier to defend against. Fire dependency is non-negotiable.

[Zeke Lunder ~ The Lookout @wildland_zko]

New thread on lightning busts, the resulting fires and their ecological effects. The better we fire-safe and prepare our communities, the less we have to fear the large backcountry fires that have swept California's wildlands since the dawn of time.
