W.Va. Gov. frustrated over vaccination rate: ‘We just are going to keep lining the body bags up’ | TheHill (Me: Lining up body bags ok but vaccine mandates not ok? Strange…)

Justice said he doesn’t think that vaccines should be mandated. However, he issued a warning that more people would die until enough people get the jab. 

“At the end of the day, we’re going to do one of two things,” Justice said.

“We’re going to run to the fire and get vaccinated right now. Or we’re going to pile the body bags up until we reach a point in time to where we have enough people that have natural immunities and enough people that are vaccinated,” he said. “Now, that’s all there is to it. I would really highly encourage you to get vaccinated.”

« A terra para os indígenas não tem valor comercial, como no sentido privado da posse civil. É uma relação de identidade, que inclui espiritualidade e existência, e é possível afirmar que não existe comunidade indígena sem terra »

Barbara Crane Navarro

O ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal, Edson Fachin, votou pela rejeição do «marco temporal» e a favor dos direitos dos povos indígenas.

Fachin disse: «Não há maior segurança jurídica do que o respeito à Constituição», refutando o argumento ruralista de que demarcações sem «marco temporal» geram insegurança jurídica.

Em seu voto, Fachin defende que os direitos constitucionais indígenas não podem ser questionados, «pois esses direitos estão vinculados à própria condição de existência dessas comunidades e ao seu modo de vida.»

Ele rejeita interpretações que tentam igualar propriedade nativa e civil, como o faz o «marco temporal». «Terras indígenas», diz ele, «são maiores do que um ‘conjunto de cabanas’; incluem todo o território necessário à existência dos povos.»

Ele acrescentou que «a terra para os povos indígenas não tem valor comercial, como no sentido privado de posse civil. É uma relação de identidade, que inclui espiritualidade e existência, e é possível…

Duburee

Weekend Stories by Trishikh

Atop a small hill, on the banks of the mighty Damodar river in the steel city of Durgapur in the Bankura district of the state of West Bengal in the Indian subcontinent stood a rickety little mud cottage. In front of this tiny earthen adobe towered a metal and concrete two-way vehicular bridge atop a colossal barrage, stretching across the ancient riverbed. At the break of dawn, every day, from this flimsy shanty emerged a bald old man with a long silver beard and a massive chest. No one knew his real name and called him Duburee, meaning a diver in the Bengali language.

Wearing only a tightly wrapped loincloth around his waist, he would spend the next hour applying a strong-smelling mustard oil all over his old but firm skin, especially inside his ears, naval, and on his colossal chest. Following this, he would perform another hour of yogic…
