"Unalaska, where eagles nest in the hillsides, is home to about 4,200 year-round residents...Even in the age of cellphones and Wi-Fi, residents said radios here were constantly tuned to KUCB, which brings them local news and emergency alerts as well as City Council meetings, high school basketball games and public health programs on topics ranging from the seasonal flu to suicide prevention."

Wisdom in Space 18h ago

Science -- cosmology, evolution and especially the brain sciences -- is telling us that we have no privileged position in the universe and that our sense of having a private nonmaterial soul "watching the world" is really an illusion (as has long been emphasized by Eastern mystical traditions like Hinduism and Zen Buddhism). Once you realize that far from being a spectator, you are in fact part of the eternal ebb and flow of events in the cosmos, this realization is very liberating. Ultimately this idea also allows you to cultivate a certain humility -- the essence of all authentic religious experience.
-- V. S. Ramachandran

If you struggle understanding the link between #Palestine and #ClimateAction, or why #intersectionality is the key to humanity's survival, here is a great #ElPais article about the #NativeAmerican tribe that shut down #AlligatorAlcatraz.
Some of this will make your blood boil (the T-shirt sellers for one). But if you look deeper, it shows why the only way out for all of us is deep #solidarity: not because it's ethical but because it works.

In the heart of the Miccosukee, the Native American tribe that shut down Alligator Alcatraz

The community found refuge from white persecution deep in the Everglades swamps centuries ago. Together with environmental groups, they succeeded in forcing the closure of the immigration detention center built on their ancestral lands

Harold was Myrtle’s second husband. Myrtle was Harold’s first wife.

Harold then remarried to Ruth Gullickson. Ruth’s family donated Gullickson’s Glen to government State Park, because of #NativeAmerican petroglyphs in cave.

Ruth’s ancestors were from #norway. Both her parents were Norwegian-Americans and her grandparents born abroad. Their ancestors on the side of the Olson family were originally from #Arabia.
