People are deliberately starting fires in the amazon rainforest to illegally deforest indigenous land for cattle ranching and the president of Brazil comes today and says that this is work from NGOs, listen what a indigenous woman have to say, from the tribe Pataxó:

Pataxó woman:

“These assholes came in and burned down [our reservation]... I want all of the media here to see this”

For 2 years we’ve fought to preserve [our reservation] & these assholes came in & burned it down.

They are killing our rivers, our sources of life, & now they have set our reserve on fire. Tomorrow we are closing the roads & I want all the media here to see this.

We need action, we need now, we need to take those ones to justice and take President Jair Bolsonaro to respond to this too, we need people to wake up that being a conservative it's not the same as being a stupid retrograde

Indigenous people, animals and nature are screaming in pain for help

I’ve noticed how there are many white people on social media that are practicing Hoodoo and Voodoo and I’m not exactly sure how I feel about it. I understand that it’s 2019 and people will choose to follow what they believe that speaks to them. But at the same time, Hoodoo and Voodoo are sacred practices of the children of Africa (diaspora is included) and the fact that white people are choosing to adopt these practices can come off as appropriation.

Edit: *Hoodoo is AFRICAN-AMERICAN folk magic and Voodoo is a religion that originated in West Africa (Benin). Both of these practices are sacred to black people for many reasons but mostly because they connect us to our ancestors. White people can’t relate to that. Whether they’re aware of the history or not, it’s strange to see white people try to insert themselves in our culture and decide to pick up these practices to use as their own when our ancestors also used those same practices to protect themselves from white people.
