Our new book out!! You can purchase paperback here books.by/mehi-books
The untold story of my ancestor and what he did to survive and keep his culture alive in the face of blood-thirsty land-grabbers. Peter Cutmore of Dhirri-aay-aay. A detailed look at the colonisation of the Gwydir river, with story and voices now told for the first time.
IN Australia, we don't have laws that cant be changed. Everything is mutable, including obligations and commitments. The word of the colonials means nothing. We've known this since first conact.

53 orangutans have now been rescued from forests devastated by fires in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, and the scale of destruction is horrifying.
More than 48,500 hectares have burned this year. Orangutans are being found starving, injured and desperately searching for food in forests that have been destroyed.
These are critically endangered animals losing the very habitat they depend on to survive. How much wildlife must suffer before protecting forests becomes a priority rather than an afterthought?

On October 30, we shut down the war machine.
Global Sumud Flotilla is joining forces with dockworkers across 100+ ports and 18 trade unions worldwide. From land to sea, we are stopping the logistics of destruction.
No labor for war cargo. No silence for illegal blockades.
Join the Global Day of Action. Break the chain of destruction.

Forests stabilize climate better than ANY tech we've invented.
And protecting an existing forest stores 8-12x more carbon than planting a new one.
We don't need to invent the future. We need to protect it. 🌲

⛔️Dear followers, did you know that Palestinian Children’s skeletons emerged from the site of the former Tantura village which is now Israeli Dor Beach (also called Dor-Tantura), a popular Israeli tourist destination with resorts, lagoons, islands, nature reserves, and family beaches that draw crowds especially in summer.‼️

Within the next 48 hours, if flour is not allowed into Gaza, all bakeries in the city will stop producing bread.
We are facing an enormous catastrophe. Famine is knocking on our doors once again, and this time, it could be worse than anything we have experienced before.
Please, do not remain silent! Talk about Gaza, make our voices heard around the world, and do everything you can before thousands of people lose access to something as basic as a loaf of bread.

Apa yang bikin kamu nangis di minggu pagi ini?
.
THIS TINY LITTLE HAND 😭😭
Genggaman sekecil itu, menggenggam sehelai rumput di atas tubuh induknya yang gak berdaya. Korban bisu dari ganasnya karhutla Kalimantan. Rasanya nyesek setiap kali lihat mereka harus menanggung akibat dari kerusakan yang gak mereka perbuat.
.
Tangan sekecil ini seharusnya sibuk main bergelantungan di rimbunnya pohon bersama ibunya, bukan terbaring lemah di atas tanah yang hangus.
.
This truly breaks my heart. Wishing you a speedy recovery and hoping our forests can breathe again soon.

Replying to @IDF
I was a combat soldier in an elite IDF unit. I served in the West Bank and witnessed firsthand how settlers could do whatever they wanted with impunity.
Today I’m the Executive Director of ״Breaking the Silence״ an organization that has collected thousands of testimonies from Israeli soldiers over the past two decades.
And I can say with certainty that this statement by IDF spokesperson is a lie. The IDF is not trying to stop Jewish terrorism in the occupied territories. In fact, it protects Jewish terrorists and arms them with US-made M16 rifles.
If the IDF genuinely wanted to stop Jewish terrorism, the Chief of Staff could simply order the 30,000 soldiers stationed in the West Bank to carry out arrests. It’s that simple.
