“The wrong ice is melting, the wrong Amazon is burning”

Unfortunate, uniformed position on industrial food here. There is nothing premodern about organic agriculture. Modern, smart (non industrialized) smallholders produce 1/3 to 1/2 of all food, and this is after a century + of massive agribusiness land grabs of their lands at the point of a gun.

I chair the acquisitions meeting of @reaktionbooks.bsky.social, an independent publisher. We're open to unsolicited book proposals: history, art, music, film, food, animal studies and any great indefinable non-fiction book ideas you might have. Check out the list and get in touch.

My take on AI is straightforward: the machine learning plagiarism industrial complex is not sentient. But the fish who have lived on earth continuously in one form or another for half a billion years & who are threatened by AI’s water consumption & climate change impacts are. I choose the fish. 🐟

This community named itself after Flores Magón, one of the most important (anarchist) revolutionaries of the Americas you might not have heard of

Journalists speak on the repression of & resistance of the Mazateca community to a power grab in Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón in Oaxaca, Mexico beginning in December 2014, plus the related case of #MiguelPeralta and the recent death of #YorchEsquivel. thefinalstrawradio.noblogs.org/post/2026/01...

So what happens now with Maduro? Are we in completely uncharted waters of imperialism?

“Capitalism induces anxiety in us & then demands that we privately do something about it, as if health is not even slightly socially-determined. This is ‘deliberately induced to block political action’.”

Glad to have some movement art and photography in my recent article considering land struggles as 'third-path struggles'. The first is a moving woodcut print' from Taring Padi, 'the fang of the rice plant' an anarcho revolutionary collective that helped bring down a dictator.

"As old systems fail...the question that matters is how we live in the shadow of collapse, and what forms of care, solidarity and resistance can emerge." Mikkel Krause Frantzen writes on care and survival in the 'climate endgame' 👇

Just checked in with the Santa Cruz city election office .. paperwork isn’t available yet, but I’m planning to run for District 6 City Council.

Thinking of the movements to keep forests living now as the flooding in Sumatra is so clearly linked to industrial exploitation of watersheds

From our second issue, Frontiers www.break-down.org/tag/issue-02/

This is great research! It shows with data that a lot of what we hear about the "unpopularity" of radical socioecological ideas is not about people, but rather the lack of popularity with mainstream policymakers and market agents. There's a lot of ground on which to build!

How to work in solidarity with and alongside land defenders? How to understand and act in solidarity with land struggles without flattening their cosmological worlds nor the exploitative material realities that they unfold within? Some thoughts here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Seriously, the article mentions 11 people killed on or by ebikes and emotorcycles over the course of a few years. Cars kill over 40,000 people in the US each year, including people on ebikes.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

People’s park finally seems to be taken. My earliest memory of the park was c. 1987. It survived as a place to gather as part of broader struggles. RIP peoples park, Berkeley, Ca

There is no new normal of heat waves, fires and blackouts. What is reality is that every year it will get hotter in unpredictable ways until we decarbonize. Every year for at a minimum a decade or more will get hotter, they will be the ever changing reality of ‘normal’
