January 25, 2024 - A day before the celebration of "Australia day" the statue of Captain Cook in St. Kilda, Australia, was sawn off at the ankles, with the words "The Colony Will Fall" painted on the statue's plinth.

Orange shirt day tomorrow. Once again, I’m of mixed feelings. Happy that we have a day that let’s non-Indigenous people know.., but sad we even have to make a day to be noticed or cared about.
Trying to spread awareness and love.

When Cody Diabo recently learned that the bay restoration project on Kateri Tekakwitha Island was near complete, he took his family for a walk there to see its transformation from a dry, rocky shore into a marsh teeming with life. 
The island off of Kahnawà:ke, a Kanien'kéha:ka community south of Montreal, was once a small archipelago of lush, natural islands — but it became a single piece of land after sludge from the river and blasted rock was dumped onto the archipelago by construction crews building the St. Lawrence Seaway about 70 years ago. 
"For the first time coming to the island since I was a little child, I saw corn growing," Diabo, council chief responsible for the environment portfolio at the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke, said at a news conference Wednesday announcing the completion of the nearly decade-long project to restore water flow in the bay and naturalize its surroundings. 
"To be able to see a substance that's dear to Onkwehonwe people and Kanien'kéha people — corn — growing here, where it was essentially barren for a while … that was just a sign that we were doing something really good." [...]

According to Cobb, “You have to build the new society within the shell of the old,” and Dishgamu Humboldt can provide a blueprint for what a better world—the one being born—might look like. As parts of the world flood and burn, perhaps projects like this can show us how the land and the people can heal from the wounds of the past, and grow a better future, together.

A LOT of y’all would have defended slavery, indigenous American genocide, and demonized the Black Panthers if you lived back then. The plight of the Palestinian people directly mirrors those crimes against humanity.
How do you THINK oppressed peoples have fought back? Genuinely.
For nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience.
Colonial powers have none.

Brazil’s supreme court has blocked efforts to dramatically strip back Indigenous land rights in what activists called a historic victory for the South American country’s original inhabitants. Nine of the court’s 11 members voted against what rights groups had dubbed the “time limit trick” – an agribusiness-backed attempt to prevent Indigenous communities claiming land they did not physically occupy in 1988. There were emotional scenes outside the supreme court’s headquarters in Brasília on Thursday, after a majority was formed to support a ruling in favour of Indigenous rights. Some activists wept with joy; others danced. “Long live Indigenous resistance,” tweeted Eloy Terena, an Indigenous lawyer who is a senior official at Brazil’s recently created minister for Indigenous peoples. ... The Indigenous rights group Survival International commemorated the defeat of what it called an attempt “to legalize the theft of huge areas of Indigenous lands”. Dozens of uncontacted tribes could have been wiped out had such efforts prospered, the group claimed. “This is a momentous, historic victory for Brazil’s Indigenous peoples and a massive defeat for the agribusiness lobby,” said Survival’s research and advocacy director, Fiona Watson.

every day I think about how Palestinians are surviving an Israeli-induced famine during a western-backed genocide and yet they still are sharing what little they have with the surviving cats and dogs and other domesticated animals left in Gaza I can only imagine how Palestine would flourish once the occupation is finally lifted. The care Palestinians have shown one another has been humbling.
I am forever thinking about an exchange during Al-Aqsa Flood in which one resistance fighter told another to take care of captives as the IOF was attempting to massacre them--captives, included-- because "[the occupation's] humanity is not ours." Even in the face of imminent death, which could have been more readily escaped by sacrificing captives, fighters chose a better and more thorough understanding of humanity because their intent was to force the colonial regime to end its occupation, to halt the genocide, not to simply kill or terrorize. The occupation has made atrocities routine, crimes against humanity a celebrated event, enshrining them in popular culture but Palestinians have taken enormous pain--and human losses-- to ensure that the humanity of Palestinian resistance is remembered and centered. May every resistance effort look to Palestinian solidarity for inspiration. May every radical be moved to show more militant kindness and a steadfast resolve in the face of cruelty to remember one's humanity, even the humanity of one's oppressors. Their humanity is not our humanity. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free None of us is free til all of us are free Jin, jiyan, azadi
