The Week’s Best Cartoons 4/16

Filosofa's Word

Each Saturday, our friend TokyoSand over at Political Charge scours the ‘net for the best, most relevant political cartoons of the week.  Political cartoonists have a tremendous talent, an ability to sum up a situation with few or no words, only a drawing.  This week is no exception and I really hope you’ll visit Tokyo’s site to view them all, but below is a sampling of this week’s best ‘toons!


Here’s a smattering of great editorial cartoons I saw this past week.

See all the ‘toons at TokyoSand’s Political Charge!

« El ataque a los pueblos de la Tierra Indígena Yanomami ya se dio en la década de 1980, con la invasión de más de 40.000 mineros de oro. Hoy, en 2022, la historia se repite. » 

Barbara Crane Navarro

«La realidad que vivimos y sus consecuencias son de violencia y vulnerabilidad. Mi pueblo está sufriendo. ¡Pedimos el apoyo de la población mundial para sumarse a nuestro llamado de ayuda por el retiro inmediato de los mineros de oro de nuestro territorio! »

  • Portavoz Yanomami Dario Kopenawa

Sitio de minería de oro ilegal

La tragedia de los Yanomami comenzó hace décadas, cuando mineros ilegales invadieron su territorio, protegido en teoría por la Constitución brasileña, pero no de hecho.

Los mineros de oro están arrancando árboles en la selva tropical para extraer tierra y arena de los lechos de los ríos utilizando maquinaria pesada. Luego usan poderosas tuberías y bombas diesel para descomponer los sedimentos en busca de oro, dejando cráteres llenos de agua contaminada con mercurio en el bosque degradado.

Mineros de oro destruyendo tierras nativas

El ruido ensordecedor de las máquinas ahuyenta la caza que tradicionalmente cazan los Yanomami…

EVIL MATH!!! 👿

Filosofa's Word

In another 20 years or so, there won’t be a young Floridian who is able to get and hold a job, other than perhaps one pushing burgers through the drive-through window at Wendy’s.  Why?  Because in Florida, there will soon be nothing left to teach in public schools.  First there was the bill that banned the teaching about lessons touching on race or gender.  Only whitewashed history – false history embellishing the good and hiding the bad – is allowed to be taught.  And the latest?  Florida has just banned 54 math textbooks, saying they touched on critical race theory and other ‘prohibited topics’!  MATH textbooks!!!  So … the next generation in Florida will not be able to balance a checkbook, let alone count back change to a customer or do their own taxes!

C’mon people … critical race theory has become a dog whistle for Republicans … something…

Dust upon dust: Jamaican rural dwellers continue to suffer from highway construction

Petchary's Blog

We often use the words “justice” and “environment/climate change” (depending on the situation) together – not opposing each other, but closely linked. In my last blog post, I shared Professor Carolyn Cooper’s thoughts on the closure of a very popular beach near Kingston for the past two years. This is an environmental injustice. The quality of life of the average Jamaican – who has suffered enough during COVID lockdowns and the ensuing economic stress – has been set aside, because the company that leases the beach does not want him/her to have access. Those who want to reach their favorite family beach have to sneak across from an adjoining beach, like a thief in the night. They may or may not encounter a surly security guard or two as they make their way.

I will write more about the inequity and injustice of beaches in Jamaica at another time. Jamaica’s…

Feliz Páscoa

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Feliz Páscoa!

Feliz coração que pulsa

Que tem compaixão

Que carrega alegria!

Festejemos céus e terras

E o que há de bonito na humanidade:

Paz

Amor ao próximo

E o Bem- como exemplo maior de nossas escolhas- respostas às provocações da vida.

Assim seguimos, ao invés de reclamar, resmungar e nos aborrecer, individar com a situações que fogem ao nosso controle.

Que diante das tristezas e sofrimentos, escolhemos ser resilientes!

A resiliência- é essa flor a desabrochar

em todas as nossas estações.

Páscoa- tem muito de vida, transformação, sabedoria e SUPERAÇÃO.

Se Aquele que suportou todas as dificuldades, hoje desabrocha em fragrância em nossa, memória

foi capaz de mostrar que, a ternura e o compromisso frente a sacralidade

São verdadeiros ensinamentos de um Pai a seus filhos,

Sejemos nós

Um exemplo interno da espiritualidade que Ele deixou como o caminho da libertação de cada um de nós.

Tenha certeza que…
