To anyone interested in the preservation of the #Amazon Rainforest, #IndigenousRights, the very fabric that has made #Indigenous societies vibrant and healthy for 1000s of years, a couple of short videos you must watch (English subtitles).

Archaeologists found evidence that humans were using fire deep inside caves 1.8 million years ago
"Our findings push definitively back the appearance of fire associated with hominins to an age between 1.07–1.79 Ma & confirm evidence of burnt microfauna" https://t.co/BTjJyDln1I
@m_ogada on Carbon Credit: "A thing that doesn't exist cannot be beneficial for the environment."
CC markets and systems have become convoluted and opaque by design. They didn't make sense (to me) then, and still don't today.

Said speaking of Fanon. Excellent food for thought.
Young generations should absolutely watch "The battle of Algiers" to get a vivid sense of a settler colonialism that has been defeated, but at an incredibly great cost.
Palestine is far beyond that.
My brother is facing tough challenges with his health and home. He needs help getting running water and preparing for another surgery. Please consider donating or sharing to help him. https://t.co/AB2mGs3ayb
Peasant organisations in Peru🇵🇪, which has a moratorium on GMOs and where 88% of small famers use their own #seeds, call for approval of a law to preserve native seeds, and the right to conserve, exchange, and freely use them. https://t.co/WjpJXjtQUa
Natives!Our colonial homeguard @KWSKenya has taken a break from killing Kenyans to help a foreigner grab a chunk of forest land using imported bongos. They are more portable than rhinos, and they only live in mountains, so they are more useful for grabbing water catchment areas.
Leonard Peltier: “But I’m free. They didn’t break me.”
After nearly 50 years behind bars, Indigenous political prisoner Leonard Peltier returned home today. Indigenous activists from @ndncollective and residents of Belcourt, North Dakota, gathered to celebrate his freedom after the decades of injustice he endured.
@RnaudBertrand Like the Soviet Union, the EU has become a large, centralized and dysfunctional governing body mostly interested in a rigid ideology that is counter-productive and worst, goes against the interests of its own population (socially) and businesses (economy).

A US judge in 2021 named Jessica Reznicek a "terrorist" and imposed a draconian 8-yr prison term after she vandalized the Dakota Access Pipeline in a peaceful act of courage that harmed nobody. She's a climate hero and political prisoner.
Biden: free her.

I have never witnessed an act so cruel, inhumane and deliberate than the extermination of Palestinians. I have been watching almost every day.
Have you seen the bombing of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital yesterday?
I have.
But the lesser of two evils 🙈🙉🙊

BREAKING: At this very moment, the Israeli military is massacring family after family in North Gaza in a war of extermination. So hundreds of Jews and friends are shutting down the New York Stock Exchange to demand the US stop arming Israel and profiting from genocide.
How we manage the Western Arctic has a profound impact on the people and species that call this place home. @SenMarkey and I want to make sure the admin prioritizes conservation, climate, and Alaska Native culture in their management decisions.
