The FBI’s apparent probe of Extinction Rebellion NYC comes as the Justice Department ramps up its surveillance of activists protesting immigration enforcement and the Trump administration creates secret lists of domestic enemies under Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, or NSPM-7.
Two FBI agents, one from New York’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, told a former member of Extinction Rebellion NYC they wanted to ask him about the group at his home upstate on Friday, an attorney for the group told The Intercept. The visit followed a prior attempt to reach him at his old address. /
I’m a member of XRNYC. I’m not a terrorist. I’m just an anti-fascist who writes poems and wants to save the planet from the impulses of rich men.
🚨"Justice for Keith Porter!" hundreds of NYC ICE protesters chant as they protest in lobby of Hilton Hotel housing ICE agents—invoking name of the Los Angeles father killed on New Year's Eve by off-duty ICE agent. Over 70 protesters were arrested. Our Michelle Dao reports.
BREAKING - We weren’t all young.
Fossil fuel-fueled fascism.

This isn't an issue that can be separated from other issues...A question about healthcare, that's a question about climate change. A question about justice is a question about climate change. A question about agriculture...is a question about climate change. - #TatianaSchlossberg
“Surely one of these men has died of embarrassment, but not nearly publicly enough.”
Oh I don’t either. I perform nonviolent direct action. And I agree about general strike but we’re not there yet. Economic fear helps prevent that, but so does everyone’s obsession with convenience. Everyone wants someone else to do it but there are organizers everywhere!
The challenge is that calls and votes don’t work. They’re not looking for our approval. Neither side (the right or the middle) are independent of their donors, many of whom are the same. For those outside the US to believe we’re not complicit, we need sustained uncomfortable civil disobedience.

No, there isn’t a way. There just isn’t. GenAI is poisoning the water supply of Oregon. It’s boiling inland seas.This tech, at scale, is an anti life equation, and all to spit out stolen collages of other people’s work to plug into a pipeline that has to be fixed by an underpaid real human later.
Bang bang bang

Earth Day activists deface Wall St. Charging Bull, then clean it up buff.ly/Ops2kuC
Climate activists took to the iconic “Charging Bull” sculpture in Manhattan’s Financial District on Earth Day to call out Wall Street’s “bullshit” in the face of a worsening environmental crisis, installing a display of fabric feces at the rear end of the 11-foot-tall bronze bull.
NYC Comptroller Brad Lander has been successfully humiliated at yet another mayoral forum. Poor guy.
We'll stop hounding Brad when he stops investing $60 billion of NYCers money in the world's top polluting firm, BlackRock.
