NÃO ao estratagema de « Marco Temporal » – Uma aberração!

Barbara Crane Navarro

«Marco temporal é um caminho do inimigo da floresta junto com meu povo. Marco temporal para mim significa roubar mais a minha terra Yanomami. Roubar mais as nossas terras que já foram demarcadas, homologadas e registradas pelo governo brasileiro.»

Porta-voz e xamã Yanomami Davi Kopenawa

Desde 22 de agosto, mais de 6.000 indígenas de 176 nações indígenas se reuniram em frente ao Supremo Tribunal Federal em Brasília para exigir que os juízes decidam em seu favor e rejeitar o « marco temporal» de 1988 adotado pelo governo Bolsonaro em 2016 e promovido pelos setores de agronegócio, pecuária, madeira exótica e mineração de ouro.

A apelação judicial do povo Xokleng do estado de Santa Catarina, argumentando que o « marco temporal» é uma interpretação muito restrita dos direitos indígenas que só reconhece as terras ocupadas por comunidades indígenas na época em que a constituição do Brasil foi ratificada em 1988 …

« Estamos na iminência do STF julgar o assim chamado Marco Temporal. É uma coisa quase inacreditável que se tenha que chegar ao Supremo para definir uma realidade que não tem lógica », afirma Dom Adriano Ciocca, Bispo da Prelazia de São Félix do Araguaia (MT), a respeito do julgamento sobre demarcação de terras indígenas que acontece…

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

So, this was how it felt.

Normal.

Really?

It had taken long enough.

This year, when the doctor had asked those simple questions, it had been less easy to bluff. This one had actually been watching. That ready answer, flat and so used to snow balling these people, had actually been caught, called out, and paid attention to. For once. The doctor had ignored his answer, asked if he had a plan. Silly question. Of course he had a plan. Since when had he not had one, was the real question. Enduring the pain was a normal part of life for him. Ignoring it until it became the annoying wet streaks on his face, shaking his body and tying his guts more tightly than his useless shoe laces. This didn’t happen too much, anymore. Mostly going past those tent towns they called encampments these days, feeling the despair of those…

Startling new report shows CA’s Republican-voting counties have higher rates of violent crime than the state’s Dem-voting counties |

startling new report released this week by the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice finds that, when recent crime numbers are broken down by California counties, and then further broken down by counties that voted Democratic in the 2020 presidential election, and those that voted Republican, the 23 right-leaning counties turned out to have higher rates of violent crime, including homicides, than the counties that tend to vote democratic.

Jérémie is a town with a population of around 97,000. It is a lovely seaside town on the peninsula of south-west Haiti – that long toe that sticks out at the western end of the island of Hispaniola, very close to our island, Jamaica. It is the capital of the Department of Grand’Anse.

Jérémie and Les Cayes were badly damagedby a 7.2-magnitude earthquake on August 14. Buildings collapsed and people were caught under the wreckage. Sadly, the earthquake also affected the beautiful, forested Pic Macaya, the nearby National Park named after the second highest mountain in Haiti, causing landslides. Up until a week ago, according to reports, rescue operations were going on to pick up survivors in that area.

Nearly 5,000 residents still suffering from the…
