Hello!
Extinction Rebellion have brought London to a standstill over the last week to fight human extinction with nonviolent action. There were solidarity actions and direct action arrests across the world.
And France had its 23rd weekend of street protest from the Yellow Vest movement demanding the end of Macron’s Presidency.
People are rising up. Apparently, nothing inspires mass action like being told you only have a decade to act or climate change will ultimately kill you. It also helps that our oligarchs can no longer hide the fact that the system is based on exploiting us.
So I’ll keep fighting and I hope you will as well.

But to blow the whistle on a huge organization with a lot of power, likely drawing that power to come crashing down on your head—that takes some serious spine-age.

I’m speaking, of course, of the U.S. Department of Defense.

Earth by Lil Dicky
Lil’ Dicky just collaborated with a ton of major artists on a song about saving humanity from climate change, and it’s a fun listen. If it’s secretly meant to greenwash some organization, then I apologize for sharing it. I don’t actually know.
