The following is the opening paragraph of a story being covered by the NY Times:

The mining company, BHP, plans to move ahead with an expansion project that will destroy at least 40 ancient Indigenous sites in Western Australia — just days after a national outcry over the razing of another archaeological site.

In the midst of the outcries in our own country over racist killings and injustices against people of color and native people in our own country, this report sent me over the edge. It illustrates one more way in which white folks in power tend to have no regard for people or sacred places that stand in the way of their greed.

I just wrote my two senators to support taking a stand in the Senate to make a statement of disgust for the actions of the mining companies and show some solidarity with native people and the importance of preserving sacred cultural landmarks.

WTF is next?
