Rejecting democracy

Fierce Planet Posted on January 11, 2023 by jnfrJanuary 11, 2023

I’ve been watching the attempted insurrection in Brazil, not with much shock, but with some anger. This is, of course, another expression of the right-wing authoritarians who are doing their best to fracture political systems around the world. They stormed Brazil's National Congress and set fire to the carpet. They attacked presidential offices, rifled through papers and tried to barricade themselves inside. Videos show Jair Bolsonaro's supporters rioting in Brazil’s government offices. https://t.co/dpVKpXYIdo pic.twitter.com/eMDQGA0rpf — The New York Times (@nytimes) January 9, 2023 Apparently Bolsonaro has been working with Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller, and perhaps other Trump-aligned fascist types, which … Continue reading →

The Manchin Act

Fierce Planet Posted on August 1, 2022 by jnfrAugust 1, 2022

The deeply imperfect “Inflation Reduction Act” is so important to pass. I won’t truly believe in the passage until I see it, of course, because our dysfunctional Congress does tend to kill every potential step forward. But this bill contains many policies that can help us make real progress against the most important emergency we face: climate change and the resulting disruption to current ecological systems on earth, systems that humans and other living things rely on for survival. From Rebecca Solnit and Terry Tempest Williams: Humanity can’t equivocate any longer. This is a climate emergency …The climate emergency has … Continue reading →

All the best

Fierce Planet Posted on December 29, 2019 by jnfrDecember 29, 2019

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. #goodtrouble — John Lewis (@repjohnlewis) June 27, 2018

Here’s a good explanation of Rojava, and why it was unique. Turkish attack on Syria endangers a remarkable democratic experiment by the Kurds …According to Turkish president Recep Erdogan, Turkey’s goal is to create a buffer zone separating Syria’s Kurds from the Turkish border. But his country’s attack will do much more than that. If successful, it will destroy the most full-fledged democracy the Middle East has yet to see…. The Kurds call their autonomous region in Syria “Rojava,” meaning “the land where the sun sets.”… Rojava would be an exceptional society almost anywhere. Rojava’s charter guarantees freedom of expression … Continue reading →
