Rally against ICE in downtown Seattle:

You should follow the David Graeber Institute (he wrote some good books too). And I’ve been saying this for a long time. Change does not come from above. They like to take credit for the things people win in the streets. But change does not come from above.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

That makes it murder with special circumstances

This evening, January 7, in #Seattle, we protest the murderous agents of the regime! #AbolishICE

Standing with @veteransforpeace.bsky.social and #SeattleAgainstWar to demand the release of President Maduro and freedom for the people of #Venezuela.

Attention Seattle allies - we're not done yet! 📍Meet us at Starbucks HQ tomorrow at 12pm PST for a picket and speakout, featuring Rep. @jayapal.house.gov, striking baristas, and Girard Montejo-Thompson of Seattle Education Association. RSVP here: www.mobilize.us/seiuorganizi...

I somehow missed this cartoon from my friend & co-author Tom Toles. It perfect captures the spirit of #ScienceUnderSiege, co-authored with my friend @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social:

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Solidarity and resistance to fascist oppression in #Seattle! Glad to collaborate with @saarpr.bsky.social and @troublemakers.bsky.social for this action!

Enforcement under the current regime has nothing to do with "law". It's unadulterated repression. [Gift article]

#BoycottTMobile weekend has begun! It’s time to cancel our contracts. Join us to tell corporate America that siding with authoritarianism is bad for business: actionnetwork.org/forms/i-canc... @teslatakedown.com @tesla-takedown.bsky.social @cwaunion.bsky.social @jesscraven101.bsky.social

For years, people argued that there's no point in taking climate action unless China is onboard. I'm at a COP30 event where Chinese government officials and renewable industry reps are outlining the fast-paced renewable energy transition and long-term carbon neutrality plan. The story has flipped.

T-Mobile doesn't care about customers, or about how its business dealings affect our future. #boycottTMobile tmobileboycott.org

We went to T-Mobile HQ to deliver 20k petition signatures incl 5k customers asking the company to cut ties with Elon and Trump. They called the cops and told us the company doesn't care what its customers think. Join the boycott: tmobileboycott.org #teslatakedown #BoycottTmobile #weaintbuyingit

And the protesters broke through! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzCF...

Our big #BoycottTMobile weekend kicks off November 14th, but several customers have already dropped T-Mobile! Tony A. of the @teslatakedown.com movement cut ties with T-Mobile ––refusing to support corporations who cave to authoritarianism. www.commondreams.org/opinion/boyc...

Wells Fargo - you can't hide! WF HQ in San Francisco is shut down - every entrance blockaded by indigenous leaders from Standing Rock, Palestinian organizers, and allies. WF must stop financing Big Oil, pipelines, genocide in Gaza, & Trump's agenda. #stopbillionaires @oilgasaction.bsky.social

Folks in #Seattle: come out with us on Saturday to bring our demand to #SeaFair: No 2 Blue Angels!

It's about time #Seattle does something about about the senseless pollution the #blueAngels bring to the city during #SeaFair!

#Seattle Salish Sea Assembly in August! #LandBack

Did you know the Choir is on Bluesky, @john-bito.bsky.social?

Murkowski is a murderer. She is a vile, anti-social misanthrope and we are damn proud to say we shut her down as she got called up to the stage to receive an award from the VP of Chevron. (1/11)

Hey T-Mobile, can you hear us now?? #teslatakedown #starlinktakedown #MuskMustFall

Efficiency is when you make the troops homeless *before* they're veterans

A little Tesla Takedown dance party at Bellevue Tesla! " Lets get rid of, rid of, rid of that awful unelected guy." Even the Tesla staff were smiling and bopping around! #teslatakedown #troublemakerscommunity

SOS! the volunteers on 'Madleen' have been kidnapped by Israeli forces. Greta Thunberg is a Swedish citizen. Pressure the foreign ministries and help us keep Greta safe! Web: government.se/contacts/ X : @SweMFA FB : @SweMFA IG : swedishmfa #AllEyesOnMadleen

Here, we see the lie that is told about violence at protests. Police officer calmly aims and fires on a reporter standing with her back to the officer.

#Seattle folks: #solidarity with unions and immigrants Monday!

Middle-school students working to get #Amazon to come clean in #Seattle with @stand.earth

BREAKING: MASSIVE win in NYC. Our movement's direct action and pressure campaign targeting Comptroller Brad Lander has WORKED. NYC Pension funds, totaling $285 BILLION, will now be pushed to DROP money managers like BlackRock that do not meet aggressive climate criteria.

Trump's EPA has rolled back regulations governing clean air, water, wildlife, and toxic chemicals. It's estimated that these moves could result in 200,000 premature deaths by 2050. Your Earth Day reminder that Donald Trump is a danger to our planet and our health.

Musk may think that a self-driving Swasticab will turn around the fortunes of #Tesla, but who in their right mind would heil one of those?! Getting ready for some tall tales from #Musk in the earnings call, this evening!
