Bulletins and News Discussion from October 7th to October 13th, 2024 - Happy International Paragliding Day!
  • The number of Harris/Walz signs in my lib neighborhood has broken me. We're in a nightmarishly red state so the fact they're so goddamned proud of their genocidal politics... it fucking sucks and I wish I didn't feel so alone here. I fully understand this isolation is an intentional part of the game. I have no qualms about starting a chapter of something here but I lack the resources and knowledge.

  • Activists destroy clean room in F-35 parts plant
  • Its sister site, Teledyne Defence and Space, Shipley, was targeted by an occupation in April 2024, preventing the manufacture of military electronics bound for Israel. Earlier this month, a jury at Bradford Crown Court refused to convict the activists, who stood accused of ‘criminal damage’ for their action.

  • Any Tree Defenders in the house?

    There's a campaign near me to protect valuable old trees which are slated for destruction. These trees are on public property and being killed to make way for a parking deck. The misguided decision makers have already made it "legal" for them to do this, and some of us intend to fight.

    I would love to hear any stories or tips on how to approach strategies for raising public awareness, staging actions, and the like. Tree sitting is already a given. I think our situation is at the point now where we cannot prevail via the legal system. They're doing the murder by the book. I think the only leverage we have is to turn public sentiment so hard against these actors that the political cost for them is too extreme. And even that's a longshot.

    Thanks and much love.

    Update: I welcome discussion of all methods and actions! After reflecting further I wanted to say I'm particularly interested in agitprop and messaging strategies. Perhaps this is discussed in the Ecodefense link - will be checking that out shortly.

    NYTimes - Why the World’s Biggest Powers Can’t Stop a Middle East War
  • Every time I read stuff like this I think about the infomercial where the guy's carrying 50 pounds of food and trying to sit down on his couch. He's stumbling, food is flying everywhere, his task is obviously impossible because he's chosen to carry all this shit. The clear solution is to stop carrying so much, but that can't be the answer because he's entitled to all his treats!

  • Hallucinogen - Fluoro Neuro Sponge (1996) [Psychedelic Trance]

    got to hear this at one of Simon's DJ sets in the early '00s and it's been one of my favorites ever since
