The Public Grids Halftime Show some are saying

Folks on the ground are asking me to lift this up because the need is still growing, all around Minnesota.

If you can give, please do, and if you can't, please amplify!

And everything is flawed, if you want to look at it that way. The analogy that has helped me most is this: in Hurricane Katrina, hundreds of boat-owners rescued people—single moms, toddlers, grandfathers—stranded in attics, on roofs, in flooded housing projects, hospitals, and school buildings. None of them said, I can’t rescue everyone, therefore it’s futile; therefore my efforts are flawed and worthless, though that’s often what people say about more abstract issues in which, nevertheless, lives, places, cultures, species, rights are at stake. They went out there in fishing boats and rowboats and pirogues and all kinds of small craft, some driving from as far as Texas and eluding the au- thorities to get in, others refugees themselves working within the city. There was bumper-to-bumper boat-trailer traffic—the celebrated Cajun Navy—going toward the city the day after the levees broke. None of those people said, I can’t rescue them all. All of them said, I can rescue someone, and that’s work so meaningful and important I will risk my life and defy the authorities to do it. And they did.

My position on taking action. And on the important space between everything and nothing.

The Luddites weren't anti-progress. They weren't anti-technology. They were pro worker rights. And it's convenient for the tech barons (in any age) to make us believe those are the same thing.

The most useful explanation of the nyc ballot proposals that i have seen

ok, ORDA is a state authority. so, NYS did the expansion and NYS will pay to purchase more land 😵‍💫 fine lol missing the full history of how they managed to cut trees & do construction on preserved land in the first place, this still seems a moral hazard & new yorkers hand is forced

ok so the sports complex expanded multiple times, all in violation of the constitution, and we should vote to make their actions legal because they definitely promise to never do it again, or what?

The political killings you don’t hear about Across the globe, standing up for the planet can be a death sentence—and the perpetrators are almost never held accountable.

My latest for HEATED is about the political nature of land defender killings and some of the people who did the tireless work of protecting their land from illegal resource extraction
