  1. Holy smokes, my video is still going! Almost 6k views, and I've blown past 150 subscribers to 173. It's surreal to think I'm knocking on the door of 200 after only having 15 for my first five months.

    This is also bonkers for a video I made on a whim.

    Here's the video if you'd like to view it. Please hit the like button if you do, as that helps us small creators immensely.

  2. If your'e bored this morning and have six minutes to kill, it's actually a pretty cool story, about a man re-entering the US who (allegedly) gave border agents a password that wiped his phone to their faces.

    Dude's a badass.

  3. Neu bei meinen eigenen #EBooks (und erst angelesen): Peter Block #Community - The Structure of Belonging" und "Activating the Common Good", sowie von Ira Chaleff: "Intelligent #Disobedience". Weil das Grafito #BildetBanden" beim richtigen Ansatz etwas zu kurz greift. Also: #BildetLeseBanden und handelt danach! #amreading #CivilDisobedience

  4. Not on #ItsGoingDown's list is #PopularResistance! They are definitely on my list!

    "With the corporate takeover of federal and state governments, growing state violence and oppression, a widening wealth gap and the climate crisis, more people are becoming politically active in new and creative ways.

    A growing culture of resistance is utilizing #NonviolentDirectAction and #CivilDisobedience as primary tactics, and is forming real democratic organizations to empower local communities—as opposed to working within the corrupt government dominated by a two-corporate party system and within an unfair, big finance, #capitalist economy.

    PopularResistance.org is a resource and information clearinghouse for this movement of movements. We provide a daily stream of resistance news from the United States and around the world, and a national events calendar."

  5. TST’S GUIDE TO EFFECTIVE PROTEST
    thesatanictemple.com/pages/the

    1. Protest is an act of free speech, and protesters must respect free speech.

    2. Have a clearly articulated position with tenable demands and a practical well-defined statement for what constitutes achieving your goals.

    3. Effective protest is founded on a legitimate theory of change that is exemplified by the structure of IF I do X, THEN Y will happen BECAUSE Z.

    4. Protest must be based on a principle as opposed to identity politics. Everyone benefits from the pursuit of well-conceived principles.

    5. Stay focused on specific issues and do not adopt issues that you think are analogously related.

    6. Stand for issues and principles – do not reflexively support the entire agenda of parties, organizations, or individuals.

    7. Do not allow narratives to prevail over facts.

    8. Restrict your movement to people who believe in the principles of your movement.

    9. If your protest calls for the deprivation of rights and liberties of others, intimidates others, harasses or threatens others, silences others, then you are an enemy of freedom no matter what the justification.

    10. Engaging in, promoting, inciting, and/or celebrating physical violence that deliberately targets civilians is never justifiable.

  6. Excerpts from "From Taming to #Dismantling: #Degrowth and #AntiCapitalist Strategy" by Ekaterina Chertkovskaya, September 2020.

    #SmallScaleRuptures

    "As for ruptural transformation, this is not part of Wright’s vision of how to overcome capitalism. So far it has not featured in the work on degrowth either, which has largely followed Wright’s reasoning. A survey of the degrowth movement conducted at the fourth international degrowth conference in Leipzig (2014) found out that about 13% of degrowthers were oriented towards rupture. While this might be a minority position in the movement and while ruptures are to be cautious about, I would not fully dismiss rupture as a logic of transformation (and smashing capitalism, as its strategic logic). When speaking of ruptural transformation, Wright usually refers to it as a complete overhaul of the capitalist system, and as a direct attack on the state. However, rupture does not have to be understood this way, which Wright acknowledged also.

    "There can be temporary or smaller scale ruptures and examples of smashing capitalism. Say, an act of #disobedience like blocking a coal plant or occupying a public space – something that is part of the degrowth imaginary – can be seen as an example of a #TemporaryRupture that #empowers and encourages other forms of #resistance. It includes, but also goes beyond resistance, by disrupting, even if temporarily, the rhythm of #ExtractiveCapitalism. Workers overtaking a bankrupt factory and making it a cooperative is another example of rupture and smashing capitalism, in a concrete organisation, such as #VioMe in Greece, #RiMaflow in Italy and the occupied factories in #Argentina. Had they been waiting for the legislation that would allow dismantling capitalism to come into place and support cooperative organisational forms, such pioneering examples of change would probably not exist. However, responding to the crises the way they did created a rupture that may encourage others to do the same, as well as demand policies that would allow cooperativisation. Thus, I would argue that temporary or smaller scale ruptures can be important, supporting interstitial and symbiotic logics of transformation."

  7. #ForestProtectors Arrested at #FairyCreek

    By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, August 16, 2023

    "Three forest protectors were arrested on Tuesday protecting the old-growth forests west of Victoria, as Canada continues to target #NativePeople with police operatives protecting the interest of destructive industries. The police ops are #BritishColumbia's C-IRG, the Community #Industry Response Group.

    "Mourning the invasion of the #MilitarizedPolice squad who arrested the #ForestDefenders, who were his guests, #Pacheedaht #FirstNation Elder Bill Jones said, 'We are at the end times of our great forests.'

    "Abolish C-IRG said, 'Due to the increasing amount of #indigenous-led anti-resource extraction movements in British Columbia, the Community-Industry Response Group was born. C-IRG is unique to British Columbia. They are militarized, have no budget limit, and the officers get paid handsomely to force #pipelines, #mines, #dams, and #logging through unceded #IndigenousTerritories, without consent. This is just another extension of the #RCMP’s original task- to remove and separate people from the land and enforce #ColonialRule. They do not keep us safe, they protect #capital."

    Background: Back to Fairy Creek

    "The last time the world was watching Fairy Creek, we witnessed the largest act of #CivilDisobedience in #CanadianHistory. Well over 1,000 Indigenous and non-Indigenous forest defenders were arrested by the RCMP over months of tense standoffs in 2021 as #activists sought to halt the logging of rare #AncientTrees.

    "The courts hammered that movement, with charges and bail conditions keeping many away, and the tussle in the trees went dormant for most of the last two years.

    "Until now.

    "A new blockade, led by #IndigenousYouth and supported by non-Indigenous allies, has just been erected on a key bridge crossing an arterial logging road. The RCMP's specialized tactical team that responds to land defence actions is present and surveilling the camp. A raid could come any day, and having #media on the ground is of crucial importance to keep tabs on police and document the latest developments as land defenders seek to protect their unceded territories from old-growth logging."
