The world needs a new UN protocol to fight environmental crime (commentary)
In Brazil’s Yanomami Indigenous Territory and across other parts of the Amazon Basin, illegal gold mining has metastasized into a transnational criminal enterprise. What starts with illegal deforestation and mercury poisoning ends with laundered gold flowing into global supply chains.

Indigenous conservationists lead the fight to save Mentawai’s endangered primates
SOUTH SIBERUT, Indonesia — As night falls over the Siberut jungle, a fire crackles inside the Tateburuk clan’s wooden home, or uma. The walls are covered in traditional Mentawai carvings of forest creatures — birds, lizards, monkeys and gibbons — a reminder that the boundary between the outside world and the home is thin. Damianus […]

Anti Police Terror Project
The Anti Police-Terror Project is a Black-led, multi-racial, intergenerational coalition that seeks to build a replicable and sustainable model to eradicate police terror in communities of color. We support families surviving police terror in their fight for justice, documenting police abuses and connecting impacted families and community members with resources, legal referrals, and opportunities for healing. APTP began as a project of the ONYX Organizing Committee. APTP es una coalición multirracial e intergeneracional, liderada por gente Negra.

Why Marx was Right: Alienation
Why Marx was Right: Alienation

When those in power scare you away from learning something or someone by turning it into a boogey-man, by causing you to fear it before you know it - then we are faced with a double edged sword.

On the one hand -

  • You are absolutely being propagandized in the same way that you think "other" countries "over there" do it to their own citizens. And on the other hand:
  • They are literally giving you the answers to their downfall, and that is why they are scared of it.

Capitalism is the REAL conspiracy.

So if we are to begin envisioning a new society - we need to begin learning about alternatives.
