The Chris Hedges Report Podcast with Kshama Sawant
https://chrishedges.substack.com/p/the-chris-hedges-report-podcast-with-23b
The Democrats and Republicans both answer to the billionaires, that’s why #working #people keep getting screwed, she says. Even so-called #progressives in #Congress, she notes, have completely failed to fight against the #establishment, and offer no #solutions. #Sawant in her decade as a member of the #Seattle-city-council has an impressive track record. She helped win a $ #15-minimum-wage for #Seattle #workers, pushed the council to #tax #Amazon, and championed #renter #protection as the #Chair-of-the-Renters-and-Sustainability-Committee. She joined the #Socialist-Alternative-party in 2006.

What took them so long? New York Times, Guardian finally call for Assange’s freedom
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/11/29/pers-n29.html
The editors of the #Guardian, #NYTimes etc. finally speak up for #JulianAssange -- weasel words and 10 years late. Ten years after the Guardian made #public #WikiLeaks' #secret #password and launched a #campaign of #vilification against a #truthteller. The #movement in #Assange’s #defense must be based on the #international #working-class, a #force more #powerful than all of the #governments, #intelligence-agencies and #corporations combined.

The 'Shitty #Media #Men' List Goes to #Court
source: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/shitty-media-men-lawsuit-moira-donegan-stephen-elliott.html
At the height of the #MeToo #movement, a magazine editor named #MoiraDonegan created a #Google spreadsheet titled “Shitty Media Men” and shared it with other #women in the #industry. For 12 hours, until Donegan took it down, women added the names of men alongside accusations that ranged from “creepy af in the DM’s” to rape. Now, five years later, the list is at the center of one of many Me Too #lawsuits playing out in the courts.
...
When women turn to channels like these, it’s usually because they lack better options. In 1990, a group of women at Brown #University wrote the names of alleged rapists on the walls of women’s bathrooms. The vice-president of university relations described them as “Magic Marker #terrorists,” but at the time, Brown didn’t have a policy to investigate rape accusations.

The Seeds of Vandana Shiva
When you control seed you control life on earth.
In her colorful sari and large scarlet bindi, Dr. Vandana Shiva is an arresting presence: She galvanizes crowds, advises government leaders, fields constant calls from the media, then retreats from big-city buzz to work alongside small farmers across the developing world.
Who is she? What is her mission? How did this woman from an obscure town in India become Monsanto’s worst nightmare: a rebellious rock star in the global debate about who feeds the world?
Among those engaged with organic food and farming, climate change, biodiversity, seed sovereignty, globalisation, and social justice, Vandana Shiva is an icon of a global movement.
But even among those who pride themselves on being well-informed, she’s relatively unknown. Few are aware of how this daughter of a Himalayan forest conservator rose from obscurity to become a world leader of Gandhian stature.
Hers is the remarkable and unlikely story of a girl who trekked from highland cabin to cabin alongside her father, tended a garden alongside her mother, and passionately pursued an education that freed her from the caste and gender constraints of traditional Indian society that culminated in a degree in Nuclear Physics, and then a Ph.D. in the Philosophy of Quantum Theory.
But those achievements were merely a prelude to her awakening as a fully-committed activist.
Vandana Shiva brought her scientific expertise and Gandhian principles of non-violent resistance to the struggles of poor Indian villagers whose livelihoods were being crushed by corporate capitalism. She has become a formidable opponent to those corporations whose drive for privatization and profit are destroying the environment and changing the climate. Their predations in the name of a ‘green revolution’ with its promises of wealth and freedom and ‘feeding the world’ through patented and chemically-dependent GMO seeds are reducing traditional farmers and entire communities to inescapable servitude. In India, the fruits of the Green Revolution are an epidemic of rural suicides.
The Seeds of Vandana Shiva focuses on the people, circumstances and seminal events in Vandana’s life—what shaped her thinking and defined her purpose. It also shows how the battle against multinational agribusiness has become an international struggle between two visions for feeding the world: The first, a multinational corporate model of chemically dependent monoculture that rewards a capitalist imperative of profit and growth. And the other, ‘Earth Democracy, that honors ecology, biodiversity, sustainability and community—what Dr. Shiva demonstrates is the only way forward for the future of food.

They use their law, merely the opinion of the ruling #class, to villainize us and justify their violence.
The period that our #Party has worked to usher in is one where the colonial world hegemon, the United States, is weakened politically, economically and ideologically. People around the world, who have been forced to live under the brutal domination of U.S. #imperialism, are rising up and fighting back, refusing to be bullied and beaten to continue the theft of our land and resources.
https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=v2reuou9GXAThere’s nothing that the white world has obtained for itself that has not been stolen from #African, Indigenous and all other #colonized nations throughout the #world.
The anti-colonial #struggle that’s heating up across the planet is driving the global system of #colonial #capitalism into great peril. Not only this, the U.S. is facing challengers to its economic and #military #power, primarily in the form of #Russia and increasingly, #China.

Every year on #April #22, #Earth #Day marks the #anniversary of the #birth of the modern #environmental #movement in 1970. We are honoring Earth Day with the #futurist #Buckminster #Fuller (1895-1983), an American #architect, #systems #theorist, #author, #designer, #inventor and #philosopher. Fuller believed human societies would soon rely mainly on #renewable #sources of #energy, such as #solar- and #wind-derived #electricity.
Fuller developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, and popularized the widely known #geodesic #dome; #carbon #molecules known as fullerenes were later named by scientists for their structural and mathematical resemblance to geodesic #spheres.

To change our laws and culture, the green movement must attract and include the majority of all people, not just the majority of affluent people.
