This is what a real #ClimateJustice movement looks like –– part of a broad movement of movements providing mutual aid and acting in solidarity to confront the root causes of injustice. Thank you Greta and everyone who takes action to stop the #GenocideInGaza #ClimateSky

Sad to hear that legendary journalist Ronnie Dugger has passed. We met 25 years ago at a movement gathering and I still remember his sincere interest in challenging corporate power and what I as a young organizer, thought was possible. May we all be as principled and curious. #RestInPower

Yo Californians: Democrats have a supermajority in the Assembly so there is no reason they should be allowing Elon Musk and other car dealers to massively increase junk fees. Take a moment to let your rep know you expect them to stop this blatant scam. #TeslaTakedown

RESOURCE: The folks at Media Justice did an amazing webinar series called WTF: The Rise of the Tech Broligarchy and they have an accompanying political education toolkit and this great summary of 5 big lessons with links to all the resources. Check it out and use it to strengthen your organizing!

Hell yeah

The pyrocene sucks. So...how about we stop burning fossil fuels, #MakePollutersPay for all their global vandalism and restabilize the climate so our kids have a chance at a livable future? #ClimateSky

Come on #Climate folks. We stood with Greta when she spoke truth to power in Davos and rallied her generation in the streets. Let's stand with her now as she participates in mutual aid and solidarity to confront the #GenocideInGaza. #ClimateSky 🔌💡

I talked with @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social about protest, why large “awareness-raising” events will not defeat Trump, and the kind of actions and formations we need in these times.

Now that the discourse on Israel‘s genocide in #Gaza is tipping, I wonder if all those who excommunicated Greta Thunberg when she called for solidarity with Palestinians will eat their words (eg: much of the German climate movement, esp fridays for Future DE). www.theguardian.com/environment/...

While Trump wastes millions on a military parade in DC, we the people are mobilizing everywhere to show that organized people power is stronger than any wanna-be dictator. June 14th Take your defiance to the streets! Find or organize your local protest at: app.sosha.ai/s/uAPYhCzl

The Freedom Flotilla is on its way to Gaza again. You can follow it here. freedomflotilla.org/ffc-tracker/... Greta Thunberg and Rima Hassan (French MEP) are on board Remember that the last Freedom Flotilla ended with Israel massacring 10 of its passengers and injuring over 50

5 years ago every LinkedIn Dude was posting pictures of Greta Thunberg with hollow 'inspiring' messages of action on climate change and fawning about her bravery As soon as she took up the cause of Palestinians being killed they stopped

America now finds itself in exactly the circumstances you might expect when you build an entire country on 250 years of shooting the messenger.

The regime is kidnapping our neighbors, defying courts, gutting basic services for billionaire tax breaks and now holding a military parade for Trump's birthday!? We need millions in the streets saying #NoKings! Find/organize a local protest & help spread the word by adding ❌👑 to your profiles.

Everyone using the same name to highlight this particularly blatant example of Trump regime corruption can create an echo effect that might break through Trump's firehose of attention-grabbing BS and force more of the media to do their job. Cryptogate? Sure. Let's all give it a try.

If you have ever heard Sam Prekop’s music, either solo or as part of Sea & Cake and wondered how he makes it well… it apparently has something to do with this truly magical set-up.

Grace Cathedral is my kind of Christians. Celebrating #Pride and making it as loud and viral as possible: #PrideSteps baby! Plus hosting Laraaji to play beautiful trippy music in their giant stone cathedral. #GraceIsLove

1/x It´s a snippet from an @artefr.bsky.social docu about arts and climate crisis with @leoniesontheimer.bsky.social and others. This fact is so simple. It hits me every time: How nice this world can be - but so many men don't understand that patriarchy is a system - and doesn't mean all men.

Nothing like working all morning on #climate politics than taking a break at a nearby park only to get interrupted by emergency fire helicopters air lifting water because California fire season is now year round because... climate change. 😞 Thanks fossil fuel industry! #MakePollutersPay 🔌💡

OMFG. 🤮 We need to help these billionaire technofascist psychos learn to mind their own business and stop trying to force us all into their dystopian future. #CallThemOligarchs

Kind of amazing how little the Trump regime seems to understand about the historic roots of US power. Blocking international students? Did anyone bother to explain that having the global elite pay to send their kids to Harvard has been a key strategy for bolstering US economic & political hegemony?

All things considered, perhaps shame does have some merits... . . . . . . (particularly among political and corporate elites.)

I heard this quote twice on my trip from Michigan to Maine, and it made me think about what's possible in public power organizing. “The most radical piece of literature in America reaches the home of every American each month. . . . It’s called the utility bill." Tony Mazzochi

I mean can we just revel in the irony of this administration whose whole goal is removing Mexicans and other brown folks being labeled #TACO? Doesn't get better than that.
