You will notice that the sizes of the images on the left hand column of the home page have been increased.
This was made necessary by a formatting problem on the mobile version of the website. At the former size of the featured images, the headlines were wrapping around the featured image, which trashed the home page design on mobile platforms. That has now been corrected by increasing the size of the featured image.
We will be increasing the number of items in the sidebar to compensate.
If you cannot find the excerpt box, you can turn it on by going to the Screen Options tab at the top right hand corner of the screen, right under your screen name.
Open the Screen Options and make sure the Excerpts is checked off. If it is not checked off, click on the box to turn it on. You should only have to do this once. Note that all of the options in the Screen Options Box must be turned on in order for the system to operate properly.
Also note that the Excerpt box may pop up in the right hand column or underneath the text entry window, so look for it in both places.
Headlines must be 44-68 characters including spaces.
Use Headline Case
Do not begin headlines with punctuation marks, other symbols, or numerals

Like breathing unaided…?

What strikes me as “odd” is that virtually none of the reports from the “media” even mentions indigenous people being displaced, killed and/or murdered. It’s not just an orchestrated land grab, it is genocide.
If you doubt that this is truly genocide, let me leave you with a few quotes from the US supported President of Brazil:
“It’s a shame that the Brazilian cavalry hasn’t been as efficient as the Americans, who exterminated the Indians.”
“There is no indigenous territory where there aren’t minerals. Gold, tin and magnesium are in these lands, especially in the Amazon, the richest area in the world. I’m not getting into this nonsense of defending land for Indians”
“If I become President there will not be a centimeter more of indigenous land.”

BTW, just to be clear, I put Bolsonaro is the exact same category as I do Netanyahu, Trump and Salman Al Saud.

It’s interesting…one needn’t espouse fascism in anything close to a formal way to be rightly known as a fascist…all a person has to do, in cases such as these men, is behave as they do and (sentient) people know.

Yes, that is genocide.

Amy I agree wholly.
