INJURIES

I barely have followers here, but here we go:

The Amazon Rainforest has been burning for the last 16 days straight. The Brazilian government says the wildfire is caused by the winter itself, since it doesn't rain a lot there... in a rainforest. It is actually, partially true. Winter is indeed a dry season and wildfires may happen, specially close to the Cerrado (a brazilian biome similar to the african Savanna), but what they're not telling us is that:

The deforestation has increased 80% since last year

The native peoples and animals are being slaughtered for their lands (legally protected green areas)

The government is hiding and lying about scientific data, saying that environmentalists and NGOs are communists trying to destroy the nation. They are brainwashing people to think that sustainability is terrible for the economy

Our Minister of Environment is couldn't care less about the environment and is only there to support the livestock producers and give them what they want. The President and his Minister won't put a single dollar on environmental safety

The wildfires are just so huge that its black smoke and ashes reached the skies of São Paulo, a state over 2.000 kilometers away from the Amazon.

We are hostages or our own government

I could just keep going all night about how our environment is being threatened by this new government. We need every single help we can possibly can.

Here’s Mr. Andy Ngo, who the right wing at large wants you to believe is totally innocent and unjustly persecuted, neglecting to mention that the people being attacked here are members of the openly white nationalist American Guard, who were founded by a fascist skinhead.

Andy Ngo wants you sympathize with fascists. Andy Ngo is a fascist collaborator.

Here’s Jack Posobiec, self-described “nationalist conservative,” framing the same people as victims, neglecting to mention that they are an openly white nationalist group.

Jack Posobiec wants you to sympathize with fascists. Jack Posobiec is a fascist collaborator.

Here’s Elijah Schaffer, reporter for The Blaze, framing the American Guard as the victims and neglecting to mention that they are a white nationalist group.

In case it were not clear enough, the Proud Boys, the primary group of right-wing protestors, are joining the overtly white nationalist American Guard in open arms.

The photographs Wendy Red Star uses in her Crow Peace Delegation series were originally taken by Charles Milton Bell in 1880 when a Crow delegation of 6 chiefs traveled to Washington D.C. to negotiate the expansion of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Bell is often criticized for not identifying the sitter or even the nation his subjects came from. In the series, Red Star enlivens the figures with red ink annotations which provide more in-depth information about the person’s history and the significance of their regalia, educating nonindigenous viewers while also commenting on white Americans’ ignorance of Native American culture.
