  1. CW: Article: Three(ish) Weeks In Spain

    With exceptions for those of us who had work to do at the start or end, my family and I just spent three weeks hopping around the East of Spain, featuring surfing, a theme park, exploring, dodging the heat, and - of course - a total solar eclipse.

  2. Ramachandra Guha's "#Environmentalism: A Global History" is a banger. It's rare that someone can be so informative and write so well. I take "notes" and find myself recording half the book.

    Particularly valuable is his model for the history of the global movement. He sketches two "waves" - people reacting to the environmental destruction of the #IndustrialRevolution, and broad public mobilization to address environmental issues.

    Guha works to include non-western narratives, but even so, the U.K. and the U.S. dominate the story. That's validating -- it has been a challenge to build a framework for @Roots that isn't "Here's the trend in the West and look how it's mirrored in Asia, Africa, and South America." I'm glad that I have greater access to global activism stories.

  3. People who support coal don't want you thinking about disasters like the 2000 Martin County, KY sludge spill.

    306 million gallons of toxic waste, 30x larger than Exxon Valdez, and Massey Energy got fined $5,600 while communities dealt with contaminated water for over a decade.

    The investigation got shut down when Bush took office. Extractive industries depend on you not connecting the dots between their profits and your poisoned water. "Sludge" from Appalshop documented the four years after the spill.

  4. #ChrisHedges | Why the U.S. Military is 'Earth's Greatest Enemy' (w/ Abby Martin) | The Chris Hedges Report

    "It would take the average American driver over 40 years to burn as much fuel as a single flight of a Boeing Pegasus. The US flies more than 600 of these tankers, triple the rest of the world combined."

    "You cannot call yourself an environmentalist if you are not anti-imperialist."

  5. LARB review of Kohei Saito’s new book, Capital From Zero: Reading Marx in the Age of Climate Catastrophe.

    "His argument that 'Marx was not calling for a government official–dominated society like the Soviet Union, but rather for a democratic society founded on freely given mutual aid and fellowship,' is not simply a retrospective reflection on the past failures of the Left; it is also an indictment of much current thinking."
