  1. Strategies & Tactics for #SocialChange
    Some Lessons from the Movement in the US Against the #Vietnam War

    April 27, 2026

    In the past year, millions in the US have protested Washington’s attacks on democratic rights, #ICE terror, and imperialist war. Among them are many young people, alongside others who have never before taken to the streets.

    These activists are testing strategies and tactics and debating how to push back #Trump’s march toward one-man rule. Many of the questions they face have been posed before, perhaps most notably during the anti- #VietnamWar movement in the #US in the 1960s and early ’70s.

    As the #war escalated and opposition broadened, discussion flourished over how to build the movement. Debates often centered on the effectiveness of “#DirectAction,” or #CivilDisobedience, vs. mass marches and rallies, and on the demands promoted in these actions.

    What We Want for May Day

    What do we want for May Day? In short, to take another step towards freedom from all forms of oppression—towards what we call anarchy, by which we mean egalitarian relationships based in self-determination, solidarity, and mutual aid. Anarchists have been central to May Day since its origins as a labor holiday in 1886, when police in Chicago attempted to suppress anarchist labor organizers who were fighting for right to the eight-hour workday. Today, as intensifying authoritarianism propels more and more people into action, we have a window of opportunity to make real change. Towards that end, we present some starting points and a handbill to promote them.

    [I still remember working on and being fascinated by lahars being an engineering geologist in Washington State (and from my time studying in New Zealand), although (of course) not to this level of detail/focus]

    [The area has suffered two historic landslides, in 1790 and 1997. Trying to comprehend the SCALE of this 2026 event is difficult, but the inline video in the 3rd (media) link does give an indication.]

  6. if you haven't watched #AHouseOfDynamite, you should. It is NOT a masterpiece like #DrStrangelove, but it is worth to understand the absolute urgency to rebuild a #MassMovement against #NuclearWeapons

  7. A new catastrophe will soon befall humanity if US and others resume #NuclearTesting,which has caused 1000s of deaths

    We must absolutely recreate a #MassMovement against #NuclearWeapons
    Look at what the mass movement and #Gorbachev achieved in the '80s

    [As an engineering geologist, I have been fortunate enough (sic) to see debris flows in action (indeed, I was rerouted on the motorcycle because of them) on the Poudre Canyon Road in Colorado, after the 2020 Cameron Peak Fire]
