If you missed it, here's @collapsepod's "Pop Culture & Collapse" episode where the hosts and I go over some pros and cons of using pop culture to discuss collapse. We've been getting great feedback on it! https://t.co/HuFP67KHdk #collapse #climatecrisis #PodernFamily #PodNation

Need a blast of inspiration and activation in these chaotic times? The new book by @MsKellyMHayes and @prisonculture will help refuel the fire in our activist bellies! We're offering you a little preview here by way of chapter titles. It's time to radicalize and self-actualize!

We are a failed state

Two 10-year-old children were found working at a Louisville McDonald's restaurant -- sometimes until 2 a.m. -- the US Department of Labor said. https://t.co/5o5Fxd3xm8

To state the obvious: studying the Humanities is ever more important in the artificial human era.

I’m staggered by the lack of reaction to the IPCC report. There’s almost no significant action. I don’t think we can get it until the media screams the full truth to the public & I see almost no one in the media who understands that this is true: New tactics needed urgently.

We in Southern California can't begin to assess the damage until this f&%king rain stops and we have a few days in a row that aren't better suited for Seattle or London.

The ground is so wet that even a little bit of wind is knocking over trees.

In capitalism's history the system crashes on average every 4-7 years. Each crash provokes "reforms" that capitalists soon weaken or abolish. The next crash builds and it all repeats. The system is the problem. https://t.co/scCZFoPPzQ

General strike or nothing changes.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Back in December a union rail worker warned about the potential for a catastrophic train derailment. Then, a week ago, it happened in Ohio.

It's time to listen to the workers.

Capitalism strikes again. And will strike again.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

On February 3, a horrifying railroad accident took place. A Norfolk Southern freight train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. You might've seen images of the flames, but you probably haven't heard that unions were trying to prevent this exact accident. 🧵
