Indigenous Land stewardship through fire

https://www.democracynow.org/2020/9/15/california_wildfires_indigenous_land_stewardship AMY GOODMAN: Governor Newsom said 57% of California’s forests are on federal land, compared to just 3% that is owned by California, the rest privately owned. Today we look at California’s history of forest management and how a century of fire suppression has made the current climate fires even more destructive. Fire is a natural part of life in California. For thousands of years, Native American tribes would regularly burn the landscape to steward the land. But colonization led to the suppression of these tactics and [...]

Solidarity Forever: Social Cohesion as the Antidote to Social Distancing

Social Cohesion and Social Solidarity as the Antidote to Social Distancing by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action-Los Angeles I think we should try to rename "Social Distancing." People in the U.S. are already far too socially distanced from each other, driving in our steel cocoons, riding the buses and trains in unreceptive, unresponsive isolation, each glued to our own screen, ears filled with our own soundtrack. Let's call it socially responsible distancing, adopting it as a sacrifice, and thereby acknowledging our social connection to, interaction with, and responsibility [...]

The Fire This Time by Mumia Abu-Jamal

Australia: The Fire This Time © by Mumia Abu-Jamal,  1/26/20 Australia, the fire this time. Tongues of fire licked the trees of New South Wales, a state in SouthEast Australia.  Like a beggar at a feast, red flowers of flame jumped across the nation, eating all in its path. A living expression of what Aussies call, ‘Fire Season’. Honestly.  ‘Fire Season’. This, the time of Australian summer is the hottest summer since records were kept. And fire season gives a whole new meaning to the passive term [...]
