🎙️NEW AUDIO! Our 2026 mini-summer series "Petrostate Pushback" continues with part two—'Tactics & Terrains'—as we focus on the various frontlines + frontiers of Indigenous resistance to governments + industries trying to sacrifice their territories for massive energy projects 📻 HEAR: pod.fo/e/575325

A must read, deeply researched, powerful investigation by @tahtone.bsky.social for @grist.org that clearly defines what the problem of pretendianism is and how it impacts climate and environmental movements and challenges. grist.org/indigenous/t...

The climate movement gave this Texas tribe millions and a global platform. No one checked its story.

How the Carrizo/Comecrudo Tribe turned family lore into money, media, and a place at the United Nations.

I always think of Arundhati Roy on this point: “There's really no such thing as the 'voiceless'. There are only the deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard.” (One of the many reasons @marylynnyoung.bsky.social and I wrote the book, Reckoning, where we also quote Roy)

Jay Rosen@jayrosen.bsky.social · 4w ago

Society of Professional Journalists is currently revising its Code of Ethics. One of the proposed changes is to drop a line that says journalism should “give voice to the voiceless." www.cjr.org/feature/soci... I think they got that right. "Voice to the voiceless" sounds patronizing and Ill-timed.

So much great stuff in here! Mēduh, @rickharp.bsky.social for putting it all together

Definitely feeling that what #climatechange will only worsen as time goes by this current cohort of politicians simply aren't built for, as they work to fan the fumes of a status-quo that won't/can't exist in 10 years. Where my mind goes early into this book by @nicholasbeuret.bsky.social👇

More @mediaindigena.bsky.social episodes are rolling out from Beyond Fires & Floods - a gathering of almost 40 Indigenous journalists, scholars and storytellers talking about climate change, co-convened by @rickharp.bsky.social and me! Check it out: mediaindigena.com/bff
