A burning symbol for Bolsonaro’s necropolitics! – The «Time Frame » Trick – Genocide for indigenous peoples and Ecocide for the Amazon Rainforest?

Barbara Crane Navarro

Bolsonaro insinuates his noncompliance with the law if the «time frame» – a strategy for setting a cut-off date of 1988 for indigenous land claims – is rejected by Brazil’s Supreme Court!

A group of around 150 indigenous people carried an enormous symbolic coffin to the steps of the presidential palace in Brasilia and set it on fire. The coffin was inscribed with the word «Genocide» on the top with «Ecocide», «No to the time frame» as well as other slogans on the sides.

Over 6,000 native people from 176 indigenous nations have gathered at the «Struggle for Life» camp outside Brazil’s Supreme Court in Brasilia to demand that the justices rule in their favor and reject the time limit date of 1988, adopted by the Bolsonaro government in 2016 and promoted by the agribusiness, cattle ranching, logging and gold mining sectors.

A veces, cuando me siento tan ausente y roto, cautivo tras los barrotes de las remembranzas, en estos atardeceres lluviosos y melancólicos, me refugio en las profundidades de mi ser, me encuentro conmigo en mi interior -en algún remanso de mi alma-, hasta que me restauro por completo y retorno con nuevas fórmulas existenciales, con las ocurrencias que me ayudan a vivir y con lo que están mío. A veces, cuando me descubro tan solo, en medio del mundo y de la vida, noto que todo ha cambiado y que en mis listas existen muchos faltantes, rostros y nombres que ya no están, voces y risas que no se escuchan desde hace días o meses, proyectos e ilusiones que quedaron abandonados e inconclusos al lado del camino, perfumes que apagaron sus encantos.

Rural Oregon school superintendent fired after enforcing state mask mandate – oregonlive.com

Local small businessman Eric Ellis said, “We say that an outcome of education at Adrian is to produce good citizens. To achieve that, our children must be led by honorable and moral leaders.

The subject of masking, backed by medical experts as a proven public health measure but opposed by some as government infringement on rights, came up during public comments to the board.

Bruic said ever since then, a group of people has been harassing him online, calling the restaurant and even ordering takeout and never coming to pick it up. “It’s gone way out of context, it’s like these anti-vaxxers are a bunch of kids in a playground,” he said. He would like to see some more support from the provincial government. “I’m very happy about the passport thing, but you’ve got to do something to protect the businesses,” he said.
