If you retain anything from scrolling social media today, remember this - There is no sustainability without resilience. A community's resilience capacity (mapped here for US metros) is its ability to bounce back from a disturbance like a flood, a major plant closing, or rapid population growth. Resilient cities are ones that are well-equipped to cope with future challenges, whatever they may be.

"What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected."

Where Migrant Children Are Being Held Across the U.S.

Forcibly separating children from their parents then, as now, is a barbaric tactic used for intimidation and to flaunt the power of the colonial state.
Len Necefer, a Diné outdoorsman, is "actively working toward having the original indigenous place names be recognized & included in the signage and publicly available descriptions of these places online. When we are reminded that these places have been stewarded and managed successfully for thousands of years before us, we are given hope that we will be able to carry on this promise for generations to come."

Humans are just 0.01% of all life but have destroyed 83% of wild mammals.
More than 3,100 migrants died crossing Mediterranean in 2017. People should not have to put their lives at risk to cross imaginary borders.
"Nationalism, in my opinion, is nothing more than an idealistic rationalization for militarism and aggression." - Albert Einstein
This is the Mercator projection. You know, the one that usually makes Greenland appear as big as Africa. Except this version has shifted the North Pole to the "Equator," thus changing the relative size of the continents. To be clear, South America is not actually larger than Asia. The Mercator projection is just really really bad at representing area.
“It is a vital part of connecting people to their heritage and the lands they come from and the formal recognition of the Tsilhqot’in communities’ proper names is a powerful statement of this important work in action.”

Earth has lost roughly half its coral reefs in the last 30 years. We'll lose another 90% by 2050, even if we could halt global warming today. These underwater rainforests support a quarter of all marine species. Corals are suffering from rising ocean temperatures and acidification due to greenhouse gas emissions, as well as from over-fishing, pollution, coastal development and agricultural runoff. A temperature change of just 1 to 2°C can force corals to expose their skeleton...s in a process known as “bleaching.” Bleached coral can recover if the water cools, but if high temperatures persist for months, the coral will die. These past few years were the worst global bleaching event ever recorded, affecting over 70% of coral reefs around the world.
This represents a significant milestone. The coral reefs are the first of the world's biomes to be lost to the Anthropocene. They're the first global victim of ecocide. Friends, we should mourn this enormous loss. Then we should resolve to let it never happen again.
This was the imperialist dream of President James Polk. Why then aren't Cuba, Yucatán, and Northern Mexico part of the US today? Well... racism. As Senator John C Calhoun explained in 1848, "We have never dreamt of incorporating into our Union any but the Caucasian race—the free white race. To incorporate Mexico, would be the very first instance of the kind, of incorporating an Indian race; for more than half of the Mexicans are Indians, and the other is composed chiefly of mixed tribes. I protest against such a union as that! Ours, sir, is the Government of a white race.... We are anxious to force free government on all; and I see that it has been urged ... that it is the mission of this country to spread civil and religious liberty over all the world, and especially over this continent. It is a great mistake."
If the color of your license plate dictates which roads you can drive on, you might be living in an apartheid system. To understand why Gazans are protesting, imagine lacking the freedom to leave or enter the 25-mile-long Gaza Strip.
So many excellent lessons in this article!
“A conventional map takes you to places—it will tell you how many miles and the fastest route. But the Zuni maps show these significant places that only a Zuni would know."
"After their lands were colonized by the Spanish in the sixteenth century and later claimed by the United States, indigenous peoples of the Colorado Plateau were left in a deeply familiar territory of unfamiliar names."
..."For thousands of years, the names of places were interwoven with experiences and stories of the landscape."
