Hong Kong Is Not What It Seems
Don’t Believe The Lies Again
Ecocide Should Be Recognized As a Crime Against Humanity, But We Can’t Wait for The Hague to Judge
The Intercept | Natasha Lennard
The image of Darren Woods, CEO of Exxon Mobil, loomed over the climate strike in New York last Friday afternoon. Rendered in cardboard, 15 feet tall and clutching a bag of fake, bloodied money, the puppet of Woods wore the label “Climate Villain.” It bobbed among the 250,000-strong crowd, joined by cutout versions of BP CEO Bob Dudley and Shell CEO Ben Van Beurden. By the time the puppets were set down in Battery Park, the terminus of the New York protest, the faces of the fossil fuel executives had been daubed with marker-pen devil horns.
Why Greenpeace activists dangled from a bridge in Texas — and face 2 years in prison
Grist | Naveena Sadasivam
It was early in the morning last Thursday, and Jonathan Butler was standing on the Fred Hartman Bridge, helping 11 fellow Greenpeace activists rappel down and suspend themselves over the Houston Ship Channel. The protesters dangled in the air most of the day, shutting down a part of one of the country’s largest ports for oil.
Saving the Planet Means Overthrowing the Ruling Elites
TruthDig | Chris Hedges
Friday’s climate strike by students across the globe will have no more impact than the mass mobilizations by women following the election of Donald Trump or the hundreds of thousands of protesters who took to the streets to denounce the Iraq War. This does not mean these protests should not have taken place. They should have. But such demonstrations need to be grounded in the bitter reality that in the corridors of power we do not count.
WaPo No Longer Discloses Its Owner’s Uber Investment
FAIR | Pete Tucker
A new California law threatens to upend Uber, but the Washington Post claimed the law doesn’t apply to the ride-hailing giant. This is convenient, since Post owner Jeff Bezos is not only a major Uber investor, but also founder and CEO of Amazon, which is likely to also be negatively impacted by the new law.
I’ll be performing in Toronto on the first weekend of November and you can come see a live-taping of Redacted Tonight in Washington DC every Thursday evening. Get details and tickets at RedactedTour.com.
Keep fighting!
