Support Jeronimo Kataquapit and his fight to protect the Hudson Bay lowlands. This is not just a fight against Bill 5, Bill C5, it's a fight to save a natural carbon sink that protects us from climate change.

The autonomous P‘urhépecha municipality of Cherán, Michoacán, was attacked by gunmen (according to the media linked to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel) on July 2. One member of the community patrol was killed and another wounded. In response, the barricades and bonfires of 2011 have gone back up and the community is on maximum alert.

a snapshot of a game that the aldercone studio collective, of which evel is a part of, recently finished. A foresty scene using the glitch game graphics plus some other things! there's a big sign that says "now entering alderwood point", and there's lots of trees and bushes of various kinds. There's also a big white goose standing to the right of the sign and somewhat hidden amongst the bushes and trees is a sort of post-apocalyptic postal carrier

Every day I watch supposedly progressive people concern themselves with the wrongs upon their lives and even other continents while doing nothing to support #Reparations for the #Native#Indigenous#BIPOC#FormerlyEnslaved peoples on the stolen lands and lives they benefit from.

For those that do support our businesses & #IndigenousMutualAid; For those that understand the great harms inflicted upon us & the need for reparations; For those that do something about it, I thank you.

I don't talk much about the damage the #Colonization of North America and the subsequent #Independence of the #UnitedStates has done to my personal family. And I probably never will, but it has been substantial, even to this very day.

Certainly I confront what the land and resources theft, what the genocide and enslavement of millions of people has done to my people more than my mother or grandmother, who were much more shell shocked than I am.

"What if I told you that one of the most well-capitalized AI companies on the planet is asking volunteers to help them uncover “lost cities” in the #Amazonia—by feeding #machinelearning models with open satellite data, #lidar, “colonial” text and map records, and #indigenous oral histories? This is the premise of the #OpenAItoZChallenge, a #Kaggle-hosted hackathon framed as a platform to "push the limits" of #AI through global knowledge cooperation.

In practice, this is a product development experiment cloaked as public participation. The contributions of users, the mapping of biocultural data, and the modeling of ancestral landscapes all feed into the refinement of OpenAI’s proprietary systems. The task itself may appear novel. The logic is not. This is the familiar playbook of Big Tech firms—capture public knowledge, reframe it as open input, and channel it into infrastructure that serves commercial, rather than communal goals."

Tomorrow is Canada Day, and this year has seen a resurgence in Canadian pride after U.S. President Donald Trump's "51st state" threats. But in some parts of Canada, today has been proclaimed Indigenous Survivors Day. Here's @cbc@flipboard.com's interview with Troy Abromaitis, the Sixties Scoop survivor who created the observance. "By placing Indigenous Survivors Day on June 30, we invite Canadians to reflect before they celebrate Canada Day, and to remember the children who are taken and why this matters," said Abromaitis, a member of the Nlaka'pamux Nation from Lytton First Nation in British Columbia.
