🪴The Sustainability Class!🪴 Fantasies of private security defending "green" living while millions succumb to climate dislocation, homelessness, and inequality. It's not just that "sustainability" is innocent plant walls, or oat milk lattes, it is violence. Out Dec 10

If you're in Barcelona next Friday, come share some vermut & pica-pica & degrowth chats with me backstorybookshop.com/event-details-…

We were interviewed by Publishers Weekly about our new book with The New Press: "Sustainability is now about sustaining the status quo—it’s transformed into the opposite of a desire to change the system." -Vijay publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/au…

I shall not go to the polls. I have not registered. I believe that democracy has so far disappeared in the United States that no “two evils” exist. There is but one evil party with two names, and it will be elected despite all I can do or say. —W.E.B. Du Bois

if your political work begins & ends with presidential elections, now's the time to change that! join an org, find your lane, learn your local political landscape, figure out who's fighting, make a plan. no matter who wins, there's going to be so much work to do.

Regardless of who wins, right-wing fascism is fully fledged in the USA. Must reading going forward. Richard Seymour Verso Books

excellent analysis from gabrielwinant for Dissent Magazine. Liberals cannot be redeemed. We need leftists, not fascists. Not the time to be fatigued, nor content with placards on your lawn. Truth to power and growing social movements that meet ppl where they're at is all we got.

It's publication day for Vijay and aaron vansintjan 🐙's The Sustainability Class. I was lucky enough to read an early draft. It's an important, super readable, analysis of why lifestyle environmentalism and techno-innovation can't save the planet and what we should do instead.

Yesterday, The Ecologist published an article where Vijay and I introduce green gaslighting. It's like greenwashing, but more insidious.

Here's Vijay and I in today's TIME magazine. "Strangely, in the middle of ecological breakdown threatening the very basis of human life to thrive on this planet, superyachts or luxury tourism resorts are just not up for public debate." time.com/7200268/ultrar…

"Perhaps worse is when urban professionals think they can just speak for those whose experiences are not their own - that they will be the white knights who will lift the poor out of poverty, that their learned expertise & book smarts override the lived experiences of people."

It's becoming clearer and clearer that we're looking at a seismic shift in the US's relationship with the world, between: 1) The US dismantling its foreign interference apparatuses (like USAID 👇) 2) Marco Rubio stating that we're now in a multipolar world with "multi-great
