The idea behind the spoken word was for it to be harder for targets to be entertained by. No groove, no music, no pause. Just constant monotone questions.

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.

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.

A plaque for a museum vandal? Yes.
After decades of campaigning for the right to vote, in 1903 a Birmingham-led group of women switched to civil disobedience, window-smashing, bombing, and arson. One woman, Bertha Ryland, slashed art (below) in the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.
The right to vote is called suffrage, and the press called women activists suffragettes, intending to belittle them. Instead, the movement adopted this name. Protesters learned self-defense so they could escape police holds. Many were arrested, assaulted, and convicted. Several died. In prison they held hunger strikes, but were violently force-fed; it caused permanent organ damage in Ryland's case.
By 1918 some UK women got the vote. The slashed artwork was repaired. Over time, opinions changed and Ryland got a medal and, in 2018, a memorial plaque—inside the museum.

Rebel Hearts is a hidden gem. It tells the story of the radical Catholic nuns in 1960s Los Angeles whose faith, defiance and activism turned the Church upside-down. They marched at Selma with MLK and they still fight for social justice today. Their story is incredible and it will fill you and your students with hope and fire. 4/n

If the injustice is part of the necessary friction of the machine of government, let it go, let it go: perchance it will wear smooth, — certainly the machine will wear out. If the injustice has a spring, or a pulley, or a rope, or a crank, exclusively for itself, then perhaps you may consider whether the remedy will not be worse than the evil; but if it is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law. Let your life be a counter friction to stop the machine. What I have to do is to see, at any rate, that I do not lend myself to the wrong which I condemn.

Fellow #SaveOldGrowth forest defender, Sheena, made a short film. It includes the jingle dance circle with me & several other #environmental #landback #activists on the bridge between River & Landback resistance camps.
River & Landback camps were main strongholds at Fairy Creek blockade. River camp was the first resistance camp set up in 2020 & it ran for a year before final big raid. There are 2 very rough logging roads that lead up to untouched old growth forest tracts from these camps. River camp is also where people could go hike to see/visit with Grandmother & Grandfather cedars. After we were removed, industry started cutting more roads up into the untouched old growth tracts. Teal Jones logging company has since pulled out due to financial issues & everything is up in the air at this time. Temporary deferral was renewed this year for some tracts by this one particular area in the watershed. Still hoping for permanent protections as the elder trees are not included in this small deferral.
"My student documentary on the Fairy Creek/Ada'itsx old growth forest blockade 🌲 something of a collage, made with many hands and hearts. While the blockade and movement has evolved and gone through many stages, the momentum remains and many still carry forth the activism in heart and deed."

And how much economic damage is from climate change and pollution from #FossilFuels? #BigOil is the real criminal here!
#ClimateProtesters are taking action against Big Oil. UK courts are handing them prison terms akin to rapists and thieves
By Kara Fox, CNN
September 14, 2024London CNN — "As #RightWing rioters attacked communities with #racist violence across parts of the UK last month, 22-year-old #ClimateActivist #CressieGethin sat in a prison cell.
"Her crime? Organizing a disruptive protest against new government-granted licenses to drill for oil — a planet-heating #FossilFuel — in the #NorthSea.
"In late July, a London court found #Gethin and four other members of the #JustStopOil activist group guilty of 'conspiring intentionally to cause a #PublicNuisance,' after recruiting protesters to climb structures along the M25 — a major ring road around London — bringing traffic to a standstill in parts over four days in November 2022.
"Prosecutors alleged that the protests, organized over a #ZoomCall, disrupted more than 700,000 drivers, caused economic damage of over £760,000 ($980,000) and racked up £1 million ($1.3m) in policing costs.
"Now Gethin and three others — Louise Lancaster, #DanielShaw and #LuciaWhittakerDeAbreu, who planned the disruption on the call — are serving four-year jail terms, while Just Stop Oil co-founder #RogerHallam was given five years. All are appealing.
"The sentences are believed to be the longest in the UK’s history for #nonviolent protest and were delivered under two new controversial laws that supercharged #policing powers to crack down on disruptive protests, even when they are peaceful.
"They place the act of planning a 'public nuisance' event, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, on a similar footing as #ViolentCrimes like robbery, for which punishments range from community service to 12 years’ jail, or rape, which is four to 19 years.
"The judge — who in court referred to the activists as '#extremists' — justified the long jail terms because all five activists had previously been convicted of one or more offenses in relation to direct action protest. Each were on bail for another set of proceedings when the Zoom call took place. He also noted people missed important doctor’s visits and funerals because of the protest.
"But activists like Gethin say their demonstrations are proportionate to the problem at hand — a rapidly warming world that threatens to transform life as we know it, through deadly #ExtremeWeather events and by pushing #ecosystems to their brinks. They are now battling the bolstered powers of the #police and courts to get their point across.
“'A very harsh sentence like this doesn’t make sense morally or legally — but it does make sense politically,' Gethin told CNN in a handwritten letter from HMP Bronzefield, a women’s prison just south of London’s Heathrow Airport.
"The laws have drawn criticism from the UN’s special rapporteur on #EnvironmentalDefenders, #MichaelForst, who said not only do they criminalize peaceful protest, but they are being enforced in 'punitive and repressive' ways."

Thousands Sign Support for #Greenpeace and #RedWarriorSociety in #Pipeline #SLAPP
By Greenpeace International, #CensoredNews, Sept. 13, 2024
"We, the undersigned individuals and organisations, formally express our solidarity with Greenpeace against #EnergyTransfer’s meritless $300 million lawsuit.
" #PeacefulProtest and #FreeSpeech are fundamental human rights that underpin social progress. The Energy Transfer $300 million lawsuit against Greenpeace is an abuse of the legal system and a blatant attempt to silence legitimate work to protect people and our planet.
"This lawsuit makes allegations that affect people far beyond Greenpeace. It attempts to rewrite the history of the #Indigenous-led opposition movement at #StandingRock – by absurdly alleging that Greenpeace orchestrated the entire resistance.
"It seeks to hold the Greenpeace organizations in the US and Greenpeace International accountable for actions taken by unaffiliated and unknown individuals. This could have a chilling effect on anyone engaged in peaceful protest and assembly. It also attempts to sue over justified and protected speech, claiming it is '#defamation.' This is #corporate overreach that is part of a disturbing trend of attacks on advocacy and speech around the world.
"We will not allow lawsuits like this one to stop us from advocating for a just, green and peaceful future. On the contrary, we will ensure they have the opposite effect, increasing the support for organizations like Greenpeace and strengthening the broader movement for justice.
"This legal attack on Greenpeace is an attack on us all. We will not stand idly by. We will not be bullied. We will not be divided and we will not be silenced.
"This letter has been signed by more than 290 organisations, tens of thousands of individuals, and a growing list of public figures."

“On Thin Ice”: Western Nations Crack Down on #ClimateActivists with Arrests & Jail Terms
Story by #DemocracyNow
September 12, 2024"As the #ClimateCrisis continues to accelerate, #wealthy governments in the West are clamping down on #ClimateProtest. According to a new report from #ClimateRightsInternational, #demonstrators around the world are being arrested, charged, prosecuted and silenced, simply for using their rights to free expression. One of those prosecuted is activist #JoannaSmith, who last year applied washable school finger paint on the exterior glass case enclosing Edgar Degas’s renowned wax sculpture, Little Dancer, at the National Gallery of Art to draw attention to the urgency of the climate crisis. She was charged and later sentenced to two months in federal prison for her #CivilDisobedience. We speak to Smith just a week after her release, and to #LindaLakhdir, the legal director of Climate Rights International. 'Countries who have held themselves up as beacons of rule of law are essentially repressing peaceful protest,' says Lakhdir. Smith says the nonviolent action she took was intended to highlight the disparity between a sculpture of a child protected from the elements with a strong plexiglass case and the billions of children around the world left unsafe and vulnerable by #ClimateChange's effects. 'The crisis is here now, it’s unfolding in front of us, and our governments are failing us,' she explains.

#UNH drops charges against 7 out of 12 people arrested during #ProPalestine #protests
By Jeremy Margolis, Concord Monitor
Published August 1, 2024"A University of New Hampshire prosecutor this week dropped criminal charges against seven of the people arrested during a May 1 pro-#Palestine protest after they reportedly accepted plea agreements.
"The seven cases were dismissed nearly three months after UNH police charged 12 people with disorderly conduct and trespassing, nine of whom were set to be arraigned in Dover District Court on Wednesday.
"The agreements involved 30 hours of community service and a period under which the arrestees must remain in 'good public standing', according to Adeena Ahsan, a UNH graduate student who was not arrested but had been in communication with those offered plea deals.
"UNH prosecutor #FrankWeeks [who is also a police captain] declined to comment on the nature of the plea deals.
"Of the other five people arrested, charges had already been dropped against a 'counter-protester' after a friend of his emailed then-President of UNH James Dean that he had been 'mistaken for a protester,' according to a report from the Boston Globe.
"Cases remain pending against the other four, including against two students who are also facing assault charges. One of them, 21-year-old rising UNH senior #AidanTurner, has said he was mistakenly identified and then violently #arrested by Weeks, the UNH prosecutor who is also a police captain. His case is currently set to go to trial on Sept. 10.
"The other, 29-year-old graduate student #SebastianRowan, has been charged with two counts each of assault on a police officer and #ResistingArrest. His case is currently before a grand jury with an indictment decision expected by Aug. 21, according to court records.
"The other two people – 21-year-old #JasonPerra and 19-year-old #LoganONeill – have trials scheduled for October 2 and 9, respectively. Both have been charged with criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct. It was not immediately clear whether they had been offered a plea deal or not."

"Militant groups like Palestine Action and Just Stop Oil are using criminal tactics to create mayhem and hold the public and workers to ransom without fear of consequence," Lord Walney said.
Um, #BigCorporations, especially #BigOilAndGas, have been holding THE PLANET and ALL LIFE FORMS to ransom without consequence! Why doesn't the UK (and all the other countries) criminalize ECOCIDE?!!
'Extreme' protest groups face ban under proposal
Harry Farley
May 11, 2024"#Protest groups such as #JustStopOil and #PalestineAction could be banned in a similar way to #terrorist organisations, under a proposal from the government’s adviser on political violence.
"An upcoming report from Lord Walney, which BBC News has seen extracts of, will recommend a new category for proscribing '#ExtremeProtestGroups'.
"It defines these as those which routinely use criminal tactics to try to achieve their aims.
"The sanctions could restrict a group's ability to #fundraise and its #RightToAssembly in the #UK.
"The Home Office said ministers would consider the recommendations."

The #ClimateNecessityDefense : How activists are using #CivilDisobedience to fight #ClimateChange
by Delan Li
June 21, 2023"As climate change threatens our planet, the climate necessity defense is gaining traction among #EnvironmentalActivists and attorneys practicing #ClimateJustice. This defense argues that acts of civil disobedience, such as blocking #pipelines or occupying coal #mines, are justified when done to prevent or mitigate the catastrophic effects of climate change. The climate necessity defense asserts that in the face of an urgent and imminent threat to the #environment and human health, the defendants had no choice but to take #DirectAction."

#Solidarity and #gratitude to the hundreds of people who used kayaks and their bodies to blockade the world's busiest #coal port for 32 hours this weekend, and to the thousands who supported them, and to the millions who cheered them on, and to the billions for whose sake they were acting.

Heute schlossen sich Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler von @scientistrebellion_GER der friedlichen Besetzung der Straße des 17. Juni in Belrin an, welche durch @AufstandLastGen initiiert wurde. Für den Massenprotest versammelten sich mehr als 1000 Personen, darunter auch Menschen von Extinction Rebellion aus den Niederlanden, um gegen die Milliarden an Subventionen für fossile Brennstoffe zu protestieren, die die Bundesregierung jedes Jahr aus Steuereinnahmen aufwendet.
In seiner Rede erklärte Prof. Dr. Niko Froitzheim: "Die Regierungen der Erde haben Kohle-, Öl- und Gaskonzerne mit immer höheren fossilen Subventionen unterstützt. Nie zuvor wurden so hohe Subventionen für fossile Brennstoffe gezahlt wie 2022, weltweit waren es 7000 Milliarden Dollar laut dem Internationalen Währungsfonds. - Aber das hört jetzt auf. Wir lassen es unserer Regierung nicht länger durchgehen, dass sie die Fossilindustrie mit Subventionen mästet."
Wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse zeigen eindeutig, dass fossile Subventionen der dringend notwendigen Energiewende im Wege stehen. Fossile Subventionen verbilligen künstlich klimaschädliche Brennstoffe und Verkehrsmittel, verzögern den notwendigen Übergang zu einem saubereren Energie- und Verkehrssystem und halten Gelder zurück, die für eine gerechte nachhaltige Wende dringend benötigt würden.

He slow-travelled from Germany to Papua New Guinea for a field trip, taking boats, trains, busses, and #notflying.
There he talked about #climatechange with locals and made a promise not to fly on his way back either.
Then his institute sacked him for wanting to slow-travel back and not get on a plane to Germany.He is our hero and he is on his way back on boats, trains, busses.

We met last week-end in Hanover to discuss our strategy for the upcoming months. The discussions were intense and fruitful and they brought new coordination and communication infrastructures, new action plans, but one thing was left unchanged: the fundamental urgency that academics and scientists take to the streets. You'll see us in the classrooms, at conferences, and on the streets, raising awareness for the climate and biodiversity crises and pressuring policy makers to act on them. Join us! #civildisobedience #nonviolentdirectaction #climatecrisis #biodiversitycrisis #actnow #ifnotnowthenwhen
