Mutual aid and disaster relief in western North Carolina. Communities supporting communities.
We talk with Matt w/ Rural Organizing and Resilience about the situation in the aftermath of

🎙️:
It’s outrageous that mainstream green groups and media influencers that have been telling us for a decade to “act on climate,” and that we’re in “the fight of our lives,” are radio silent on the murder of a forest defender in Atlanta.
Fucking cowards.
Minnesota State Patrol officers are moving in from the side and ordering people in Brooklyn Center to leave. (They're also specifically ordering news media to leave.)
Amazing that last night UCLA administrators let their students get the shit beat of them by right wing Zionist thugs last night, and tonight they’re sending the LAPD after them.
Failed university leadership is glaring at us.
Greta Thunberg is fantastic powerful truth-teller. I got pretty turned off by climate liberals putting her on a platform in 2019.
But now as I see those same people are silent while she continues to speak truth to power on Gaza, I think she's even more fantastic.
The right-wing hate machine’s ability to convince 25-30% of the populace that anarchists & antifascists have been starting wildfires in the very forests we’ve spent decades trying save is a pretty good indicator of how low we’ve sunk as a country.

Wow. Right now in Scotland:
Crowds are marching through the streets of Glasgow chanting: “Say it loud, say it clear, refugees are welcome here!”
As part of a protest against Boris Johnson.
Make no mistake, in everything from fracked gas extraction & pipelines to undermining the truth about plastic pollution in the ocean, the plastic industry (i.e. Big Oil) is fighting to keep polluting the world.

6.6 million acres are burning and the east coast looks like Northern California in late summer.
Fight fossil fuels, the banks that fund them and the politicians that love them.
BREAKING: in the capital city of the United States of America it is medically unsafe to inhale air.
Fossil-fueled climate change has parched Canada, where 6,600,000 acres of forest just burst into flames. Those majestic woodlands are now ash. And we are inhaling the soot.
Antifa is trending on Twitter today, so here’s your reminder that antifa is short for antifascist. And if you’re against antifascists, you’re for fascists. Simple logic.
Shot 13 times. What happened on January 18th between Tortuguita and the Georgia state police wasn’t a “firefight” (as The NY Times put it), it was a goddamned firing squad.

Doctors and nurses stood in the street today to impede the fascist anti-social distancing protests thru downtown Denver.

Here’s a great book that I’m currently reading that dismantles all the arguments for the false solution known as nuclear energy. The best I’ve read on the topic.
And we’re interviewing the author M.V. Ramana on

next week!
Joe Hill, executed today in 1915 for a crime he didn’t commit because he resisted fascism and capitalism.
Kyle Rittenhouse acquitted today for a crime he did commit that supported fascism and capitalism.
Not much has really changed in 107 years.
Nuclear energy is not clean energy. I don’t care how many pro-nuclear socialists say it.
And if you’re in struggle with communities fighting uranium extraction and nuclear waste than you know it too.
Don't believe that bullshit propaganda they teach you in elementary school. They could care less about "protect and serve," it is all about being an occupying force.

Unless you’re part of the

Two Colombian protesters disappeared by police and then found dead. Total silence by the US media about the US-backed right wing government’s war on the Colombian left.
Se confirma que estos dos muchachos eran manifestantes del paro nacional en Colombia. Estaban en la denominada primera línea de Siloé - La Nave. en Cali.
All those cop movies, all those episodes of “Law and Order” were lies and propaganda. There is no serve and protect, only patrol and control, and kill and maim when they can get away with it.

If we only had an opposition party, maybe he wouldn’t think he could get away with things like trying to delay the election. The only opposition politics are the street politics which is why the state is trying to shut them down.
I'm down with big marches over weekends. But, the same with anti-Iraq war marches in 2003, and the Peoples' climate march in 2014, there needs to be a strategy to hit back against war machines and political institutions on Monday.
Timelapse of the 300,000 people that came to Washington, DC and marched on the White House to condemn Biden for blocking a ceasefire, and for funding genocide in Gaza.
Elon Musk, asshole that he is, built his SpaceX facility near communities and habitats known for their unique bird breeding during migration.
And this explosion happened during spring migration.
A criminal billionaire ego and he’ll get away with whatever damage he does
Getting reports from multiple people now of “particulates” raining down in areas of Port Isabel after the nearby explosion of the SpaceX rocket stack Starship/Superheavy, 4 minutes after liftoff this morning from Boca Chica in the Rio Grande Valley.

Beautiful direct action in Cincinnati this morning at Proctor and Gamble’s headquarters.
We’re in a none stop clash with the bankers and the oil men. Every action, every bird dog, fierce or nice, is a step towards ending the power that they hold over us.
Land and water defenders from O’odham Anti Border Collective are currently halting

“Trump is a political David Koresh. He sees the end coming and wants to burn it all down and take as many with him as possible.”
— Billy Piper, former chief of staff to Mitch McConnell
Funny how many on the left have said things like that for years.
There is something so painful & stark about the Amazonian fires. It makes me wonder why I sit around in meetings & endless process while the world is literally burning up in front of my eyes.

This is such a garbage pail of lies. The left, the anarchists & antifascists are the ones who’ve been fighting to save Oregon’s forests for decades. This will get people hurt & killed.

"Activists have been defacing artwork to draw attention to global warming. But what we really need are solutions, displays of mass power, and the public humiliation of all who stand in the way."
“In his first year in office, Biden had already approved more new oil drilling permits than Trump and that was before he provoked, armed and financed another oil war in Ukraine.”

Thanks for the tag, we were unaware that this was happening. Fun fact - these guys claimed to be a band and begged a discount for the group purchase.
All their money and more is headed to the NAACP
The world is drowning, and burning. And politicians and corporations are doing their best to make a profit from it while acting like they are saving the world.

RICO indictment — "Anarchy Background of Defend the Atlanta Forest":
A conspiracy to "promote anarchist ideals" of "mutual aid, collectivism and social solidarity," including through "the dissemination of written documents, known colloquially as 'zines.'"
Reading about the IPCC’s dismal climate report this morning and then seeing 100 pipeline fighters taking action on Mountain Valley Pipeline gives me certainty that we’re going to go down fucking some shit up.

This morning, nearly 100 pipeline fighters stopped MVP construction in Elliston, VA. Ten of them have locked down to equipment or wooden structures on site.
Kicking off my Tuesday with disruptions, picket lines & impromptu blockades at JPMORGAN Chase’s headquarters in Investors Day after they posted a new climate policy. If you are wondering why, it’s because that policy doesn’t go far enough!!
#defundclimatechange
I’m outside of JPMorgan where scores of environmental activists have blocked entry to investor day (I was escorted through the back loading dock). They’re protesting the bank’s financing of fossil fuels hours after the bank announced new climate initiatives
You know you’ve made it big when the Wall Street Journal pens a hit piece aimed at the climate finance campaign you’ve worked on for 14 years.
Props to all the scrappy trouble-makers that made this happen.

United Fruit finally gets its just deserts. In many ways these fruit companies are the epitome of the bloody US empire in Latin America.
It’s also an important reminder that Chiquita’s actions occurred during the tenure of NATO liberal Bill Clinton.
Horrible and disgusting.
It’s terrible sad state of affairs to see the self described “left media sphere” flacking for the nuclear industry.
Who’s the next guest? Patrick Moore?
It’s nice to be in DC rolling with some proper villains to

If I was part of an organization being investigated for sedition (which can get you 20 years), I’d be really worried about the leader of the org suddenly being outed as a federal snitch.
Vance claims he and Trump have to "create stories" about migrants eating cats and dogs "so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people."
There is then some awkward dead air as Bash tries to highlight the absurdity of what he just said
Fierce compassion as hundreds of us are occupying the California State Capitol shutting down the first day of the state legislature— demanding a

Georgia has now outlawed offering water to people waiting on voting lines.
When you outlaw offering water only outlaws will offer water.
Go break their fucked up law.
Lots of social media posts are fear and panic- "Dictators!" "Coups!" But when I see Russians (living under actual authoritarian rule) marching in solidarity with people in Ukraine in Moscow, in defiance of Putin, I think "courage."
We've got a lot to live up to in the U.S.A.
