Last year, activists occupied a forest in Germany next to Tesla's Gigafactory aiming to prevent the factory from expanding. Local residents have been forced to ration their water as the factory uses mass amounts of water. See our short film from the occupation: unicornriot.ninja/2024/teslast...

8 years ago today, the armed forces of seven states raided the camps at Standing Rock, one of the first executive orders of the first Trump administration. Never ever forgetting. Oceti Sakowin forever. Bury my heart at Standing Rock. #nodapl #mniwiconi #standingrock

Local news has picked this up, noting, “Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris also appeared to be in attendance at the event, although he has yet to offer a public statement after multiple attempts to contact his office.“ You can see him downthread. www.khq.com/news/attende...

That one time in 2017 when I thought maybe if we could make Barron a Clash fan, we’d have an angsty punk rock ally on the inside.

Diary, Day 29: Woke up from a dream w/ my dog who passed 9 years ago. Awake-world sucks, tried to go back to sleep. Gave up, made oatmeal. Rowed 3000 meters. Sent resumes for jobs that already have 100+ applicants, so, looking forward to no replies. Today’s resistance is just making it to tomorrow.

On Audre Lorde’s birthday, I’m thinking about her Kitchen Table Press. She (second from left), Barbara Smith, Cherrie Moraga and Hattie Gossett came together to establish a press centering feminist and lesbians of color — and it shook the publishing industry. #bhm

Just firing hundreds of employees from Hanford, which on a good day is a ticking time bomb of a Superfund Site nuclear waste dump here in Washington State. What could go wrong?

They expect us to continue behaving the way we always have. Change starts with you. Buy less, buy local, and stop giving these assholes your money.

Resistance everywhere all the time involves stuff you should be doing anyway. Consume much less, get what you need from small businesses in your community, go vegan, volunteer, read more books. Mitigate your participation in the exploitative culture that gives these assholes any power.

The Dakota Access Pipeline was eventually completed, but not until the occupation at Standing Rock and #NoDAPL divestment campaigns cost the company billions of dollars. Gumming up the works and being a values-based consumer is effective resistance.

Times are bleak, it’s true. But people are still out here doing incredible work now, when it matters most. Activists in KY bought land slated for a new prison, and will now fill it with native plants and use it as an intertribal gathering location. 🌱🌎🧪🌿

Black women aren't going to lead the charge. That doesn't mean we aren't working. We are, but many of us were raised in communities where our elders told and taught us history. It's literally not safe for us to lead. At best, we can support and assist if we choose, but this is white folks' work.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

In my daydream, Jack Smith returned to The Hague where he led the convictions of the broligarchs as living embodiments of Crimes Against Humanity. Their ill-gotten gains were used to end famine, poverty, sickness and to rebuild Palestine as the Palestinian people saw fit. Then the phone rang.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…
