Comme le dit le porte-parole des Yanomami Davi Kopenawa dans son livre La chute du ciel : “La terre entière du Brésil était autrefois occupée par des gens comme nous. Aujourd’hui, il est presque vide et c’est la même chose partout. Les premiers habitants de la forêt ont presque tous disparu. Ceux qui existent encore ici et là ne sont que le reste du grand nombre que les Blancs ont tué il y a longtemps pour s’emparer de leurs terres.

West Virginia Lawmaker Among Those Who Stormed U.S. Capitol – The New York Times

A newly elected lawmaker from West Virginia was among the mob of Trump supporters who stormed the United States Capitol on Wednesday, filming as he stood among the crowd outside a door, rushed with them inside and then wandered through the halls along with the scores of others who had breached the building.

The lawmaker, Derrick Evans, posted the video to his Facebook page, where he goes by “Derrick Evans – The Activist” on Wednesday afternoon, but he later deleted it.

Mr. Evans, who was elected as a Republican state delegate in November, posted several videos from the events of the day, both narrating and joining in “Stop the Steal” chants with throngs of other Trump supporters. In the video that was deleted, he is among a crowd that shoved up against a door at the Capitol’s east front, some chanting and others loudly singing the national anthem. Those at the front appear to be trying to get inside, while Mr. Evans gives a running commentary on the attempts.

“We’re going in,” he says, at one point turning the camera to show himself wearing a helmet.

Suddenly the crowd moves quickly and the crowd rushes in, one woman screaming “We did it!” and Mr. Evans shouting “Derrick Evans is in the Capitol!”
