Some might wonder about posting this here, but I consider it entirely relevant. Tortuguita was not only a land/forest/water defender but also a human rights defender. When Atlanta decodes to turn much of a forest into a massive police training facility, next to a black & brown community, against the wishes of most residents but following a major campaign by multinationals and the city's newspaper. i see it as prep for a police state. No government much of anywhere is acting to reduce the threats from climate change and biodiversity loss and dwindling resources for a still growing population. Seems like maybe the plan is to reserve the last resources for the elite, and repress the rest of us when we protest, or when we try to stop further damage (e.g. new fossil fuel projects).
