But this year we can use the consumer mania to fight fascism by VERY publicly boycotting three big corporations that are enabling the Trump regime's authoritarianism: Home Depot, Amazon & Target. weaintbuyingit.com #WeAintBuyingIt

I just learned that "ontological parsimony" is a fancy way to say Occam's razor. OK. Thanks for making me look that up.

No disrespect meant to any philosophers of science who might happen to see this post, but I think I'll be sticking with Occam's razor, which honestly already seems obtuse enough.

Tis the season... when the public celebration of settler colonialism's favorite origin myth is used to whitewash the reality of America's genocidal history.

When someone on the signal thread offers even the slightest opening to push back on the 200 year propaganda campaign distorting the Luddites.👇 #NeoLuddite #ClimateSky

Right? Absurd & dangerous. But the normalization campaign has begun, trying to monetize people's understandable fears about our failure to curtail emissions.

One of the start-ups Make Sunsets will already sell you fake "cooling credits" to fund their guerrilla balloon releases.

Beating MAGA fascism is going to take more than just protest marches. We need a campaign of mass noncooperation!

Let's start by targeting three of the worst corporations enabling the Trump regime during the biggest shopping weekend of the year: Nov 27-Dec 1. #WeAintBuyingIt weaintbuyingit.com

U.S. politics explained: The 2 party system provides an convenient optical illusion of democratic choice. But sadly it's not two different options, it actually just a vase.

And neither party is going to stop authoritarianism from shredding the Constitution and stealing your healthcare. #VichyDems

A Christmas Carol circa 2025

Trump is Scrooge (duh?)
All ghosts: Marley, Xmas Past, Present & Future are Epstein and they just keep haunting him.
Bob Cratchit is America.
Taylor Swift as Tiny Tim (soundtrack sales 📈🤑)

Plus a Greek Chorus of Satanic billionaires to make it feel more accurate.

REMINDER: Our current fossil fueled, growth-obsessed global economic model is a doomsday machine attacking the ability of the biosphere to sustain current levels of diversity.

This is the era where we must win rapid system change or forever pay the price. #ClimateSky

This is what that same dam looked like nineteen years later after the coalition had overcome two decades worth of political, economic and cross-cultural hurdles to "bring the salmon home!"

Truly one of the most committed, visionary & inspiring campaigns I have ever had the privilege to support. 4/5

Here's the original campaign mailer from 2004 created for the Tribal-led coalition by my old organization the smartMeme Collective. It was sent out to tribal members across the basin and helped launch the campaign they would lead through so many challenges for the next 20 years. 3/4

Sure terrible things are happening in America as the Trump regime drags the country further into corruption, racist terror and authoritarianism.

But resistance is rising, fueled by basic human decency, anger at injustice and now: freshly harvested PERSIMMONS! 😍

Nothing like getting together with a few thousand of your friends and taking a little sunset walk to the local fascist kidnapping office and tell them to get the hell out of your city.

SRM is "gaining traction?" Really? Where? Not in Africa where 55 countries just called for a global non-use agreement at the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment.

Seems important for all of us to be clear on WHO is pushing SRM and why. #ClimateSky 🔌💡

BREAKING: The ONE PIECE flag spotted at Oakland #NoKings march!

This image pulled from a popular Japanese manga is an emerging symbol of Gen Z revolutions from Indonesia to Nepal to Madagascar. And now that is has surfaced in the U.S? We can only assume the Trump regimes days are numbered.
