This is horrendous and absolutely systemic.

Perfect for the few planes that used Burke before we close it soon and turn it into Edgewater East Park!

One topic at tonight’s food co-op planning meeting was Dollar General’s latest outrage. They are closing up around town (finally) but are so far unwilling to even consider leasing their empty space to our group. This is peak extraction.

PJM, the nation's largest electricity market, has approved a plan to allow 33 gas-fired power plants to jump the interconnection queue to meet the explosive demand growth caused by data centers. No solar & only one wind project selected. www.eenews.net/articles/pjm...

Now’s it’s time for a tour of the People’s Community Land Trust in Atlanta with @afsc-org.bsky.social at #resistandbuild

Today at the #resistandbuild Carnival Beyond Capitalism, I’m in the breakout group focused on how c4 orgs can support democratizing the economy, elections, and the law.

One of the best parts of #ResistandBuild today: we were hosted at the beautiful Morehouse College. What an honor!

Next up at #resistandbuild - a world cafe on building strategy together focused on Build Politics and policy Resist Art, culture, and care

Excited to check out Cooperation New Orleans’ new video, ‘What the bleep is a co-op?’ youtu.be/XcL8hj_h_HQ

In the Mapping Solidarity Economies breakout at Resist and Build, @msafri.bsky.social + @craigborowiak.bsky.social describe how maps reflect and also create the world (eg, redlining maps). They wrote a great book, ‘Solidarity Cities: Confronting Racial Capitalism, Mapping Transformation.’

Today’s first session at Resist and Build is Scaling Solidarity Economies, where folks from the Peoples Network for Land and Liberation, Wellspring Cooperative, Cooperation Jackson, and others are sharing their strategies. Some day 1 highlights: bsky.app/profile/well...

This weekend I’m at Resist and Build with solidarity economy folks from around the US. Can’t wait to learn and share

Happy 92nd birthday to the iconic radical anarchist catholic newspaper the Catholic Worker!!!! Dorothy Day started it in part to combat the rise of fascism in the United States and to hold religious folks accountable to the doctrine they supposedly followed that prioritized taking care of the poor.

Go off, GCRTA

AI = climate arson

Real abundance is moderating collective demand to match supply, rather than the other way around.
