Here’s the thing: if you have to live somewhere that is so thinly separated from an #oppressed class that you gotta build a wall, a few electric fences, and just pray, you aren’t living, you are betting against time.
#Slavers, #settlers, and #apartheid#separatists, however stable they may seem in their safe #worlds, are always moments away from a rebellion that run the streets red with the just rage of the oppressed.
If you don’t think the #slaves should rise up, or the conquered should seize back their #lands, or mothers should seek #justice for their #murdered#children, then it behooves you to not live in such places and leave them promptly. Get out and stop living on borrowed time.
THACKER PASS AND THE UGLY TRADITION OF EXTRACTION WITHOUT INDIGENOUS PERMISSION
By Tokata Iron Eyes
Peehee mu'huh (or #ThackerPass, as it’s known in English), a sensitive wilderness area located in what is now called #HumboldtCounty, #Nevada, sits on the ancestral homelands of the #Paiute and #Shoshone peoples. Right now, these lands are threatened by a #lithium mining project being developed by a company called #LithiumNevada, a subsidiary of #LithiumAmericasCorp .
Our #NativeVoices just haven’t been heard, and that’s a big problem. The project has undergone several stages of permitting and regulatory processes before it can begin full-scale mining operations. These processes are essential to addressing environmental and societal impacts and complying with local regulations.
Climate change is an immediate threat to the majority of the world's population.
We need a local, regional, state, national, and international "moon shot" type of concentration of effort using available resources while developing and advancing new science and technologies to counteract the damage humans have caused.
Without this type of all-out, universal cooperation, human civilization, and perhaps humanity itself, are in imminent danger of extinction.
"We know that #wilderness is an incredibly powerful #natural#climate solution and we need to be conserving more of it."
"...each...of us really needs to get on this and work with organizations like #NortheastWildernessTrust...put these #lands aside...large and small alike...20 acres or 200...or 2,000...it's all important."
It's about doing Everything, Everywhere, All at Once to mitigate #ClimateChange.
