Comrade Ferret
Paul Robeson had an amazing voice. You might know him as the man who said, about the #USSR:
Here, I'm not a negro, but a human being. Finally, I walk in full human dignity.


Another inspiring quote you may not have heard, as a reply when asked, "Why did you not stay in Russia?":
Because my father was a slave, and my people died to build this country, and I am going to stay here, and have a part of it, just like you — and no fascist-minded people will drive me from it. Is that clear?


Fascism is not coming, it is here, and people all over the USA are wringing their hands, wondering if they should flee. Why should you do so, and let the enemy win? #Organize and fight.

#Starbucks affords lavish managers’ conference, executive bonuses, & private jet for CEO Brian Niccol to commute to work. In 2024, Brian made 6,666 times MORE than the average Starbucks worker… that’s more than ANY S&P 500 company!

Why am I on Mastodon? B/c the white Christian boy from the Bible belt never had to #resist anything.

We were in poverty, but my family gladly used #Section8 #Medicaid #Tenncare #FoodStamps #SNAP and #EBT

Now the #AmericanChurchTM hates the poor & I don't know how to #organize, subvert power structures or resist

So we'll learn from the #BIPOC and #Queer community & those who have spent time #protest ing & resisting

We'll figure out #Zines #mutualAid #bailfunds #harmreduction #directaction

“At the outset, we estimated that Long-term #CarbonDioxide Removal could cost $950 billion a year to capture an amount of #carbon equivalent to 25% of the world’s 2024 #emissions (9.5 gigatons), assuming $100 per captured ton of carbon”

NatureThe social costs of solar radiation management - npj Climate ActionIn this essay, we argue that the all-things-considered “price” of Solar Radiation Management (SRM) is much higher than its modest technical costs would indicate. First, we estimate that Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) will generate between $0 and $809 billion annually in side-effect harms, while the number is likely to be considerably higher for Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB). Second, SRM would depend on unprecedented international cooperation and, therefore, risk global instability. Third, politicians may hesitate to support SRM since they may be held politically accountable for everyday “bad” weather as well as extreme weather events. Fourth, SRM poses “termination risks.” Finally, we observe that when the holistic, “true” cost of SRM is fully accounted for, the comparison between SRM and what we term “large-scale” Carbon Dioxide Removal becomes complex.

“Salting means quietly building relationships, quietly getting things in order to be able to launch the campaign with enough worker support, a big enough committee, that when you go public and the company finds out about it, they can't crush the momentum.“

8/5 40 hour week
Immigrant workers in Prato, Italy have mounted a series of strike days this year against exploitative conditions like 14-hour workdays, union busting and dangerous machinery.
They've already won a 40-hour work week in 68 fashion workshops and warehouses:

Labor Notes · In Italy, Immigrant Workers Launch a Wave of Strikes for a 40-Hour WeekSince early April, immigrant workers in the Tuscan city of Prato have staged a wave of strikes demanding their right to a 40-hour work week, or “8x5.” Organized by the union SUDD Cobas, these walkouts, dubbed “Strike Days,” have directly involved 70 textile and garment factories in Europe’s biggest textile manufacturing hub. Highly successful, these simultaneous strikes have now won “8x5”—eight hour days, five days a week—in 68 fashion workshops and warehouses, all within the span of 14 weeks.

Bosses are always keen to “reduce the cost of labour”

#TikTok plans in #Germany follow a tried and tested method whereby tech giants outsource services to countries with lower wages and weaker labor protections. In #Kenya, for example, TikTok is already using the subcontractor #Teleperformance The hourly pay there? $2.30.

“ #Degrowth should be understood as an element within a #socialist transformation, as a corrective to productivist strains of socialist thought that are inadequate for our moment. The problem with productivism is that it ignores #imperialism & #ecology.”
