Achieve #StudentLoanForgiveness with a #GeneralStrike

Ohio train disaster is an eco-horror caused by corporate abuse. Norfolk Southern detonated the fireball below to "dispose" of cancer-causing chemicals because it was cheaper and the rails could open faster.
They "nuked" a small town for profit.

The pandemic is not over. It's much worse than you've been led to believe. And unless you've spent the past several years reading scientific studies on the subject, it can be hard to convey just how wrong the public perception of COVID really is.

No viable path left to 1.5C.
From today’s White House briefing: “Under President Biden, oil and natural gas production has increased, and we are on track to hit the highest production in our country’s history next year.”
Utterly tragic for the Earth and our future. Words fail.

Rich people flying private jets to UN talks sponsored by Coca Cola that give the fossil fuel industry a huge seat at the table while criminalizing climate activists is NOT the way to stop irreversible catastrophic fossil-fueled global heating. #COP27

Rest in peace to researcher, historian, writer, and comrade Mike Davis. May we honor him by holding a critical eye to the overlapping systems of violence, hostility, and power in Los Angeles and keeping up the fight for abolitionist, socialist futures.

And this final pandemic piece is a distilled shot of the argument I’ve been brewing for 3 yrs. This has been soul-crushing work. We constantly forfeited the chance to do better. But that chance still exists, and we can’t afford the luxury of nihilism. 6/

Look at how the @MTA signs for masking on public transport have changed. The MTA is now appeasing anti-maskers and spreading public health misinformation that confuses people who still want to mask.

Really wishing we could hear what @davidgraeber would be making of all of this today

With no due respect, we refuse to live in a world where 500 people dying every day from Covid—12,000 a month—is “bullshit.”
We refuse to live in such a world, so we won’t. Not much more to be said about that. We will build a better world.

Attempts to solve major problems without addressing the underlying system of capitalism seems to result in more and more absurd proposals

Promoting the con that affluent people's security depends on locking up and punishing poor people instead of working to make a society where people aren't poor and can get the care they need is the real crime.

What if—hear me out—the pandemic meant normal couldn’t be returned to, and we had to enact fundamentally new ways of being?

One of Biden's most conspicuously broken promises is student debt cancellation. This isn't a nightmare from the Machin Synematic Universe, either: Biden can #CancelStudentDebt on his own, at the stroke of a pen, in the form of an Executive Order.

ALT The Debt Collective's banner for its student debt strike. It reads: 'Can't Pay! Won't Pay! Join the Student Debt Strike!' It features a black-and-white photo of a smiling woman in grad's robes and a mortarboard.
"Human liberation and animal liberation are thus bound together; the brutalization of all beings, as [Angela] Davis proclaimed, is connected."
great article by @astradisastra + @sunaura_taylor
Our long-brewing manifesto is finally up.
In the new @readlux my sister @sunaura_taylor and I argue that socialist-feminism offers an essential—and thus far underutilized—framework for understanding the cruel and destructive nature of animal industries.

There's an old tradition of loaning something to a friend when you visit so you'll have an excuse to meet again.
It reminds me of all that I've borrowed.
The iron in my blood.
The air in my lungs.
The flowing water of life.
The countless kindnesses that carried me to this moment.

We must get good at grief, because change — both the kind we want and the kind we dread — requires a letting go.
