The folks at #1millionrising are doing great stuff. I encourage you watch the replay of their meeting from yesterday (that was attended by over 100,000 people).

A really great outline of how strategic noncompliance can work. Then sign up for their next two meets.

Just stunning at how quickly Greece has transformed it's energy mix.
In a decade, coal has been pretty much driven out from 50% to 6%
More to come as solar expands 👍

I walked with more than 200 people from Acton to Concord MA yesterday, with 8 armed minutemen at the front. They are preparing to fire off the old North Bridge, remembering the day when three folks from Acton died fighting for freedom from a King. No kings then, no kings now.

#handsoff Boston. I appreciated that people in the disability community were invited to lead the match, and had special seating. A speaker reminded us that other populist autocrats have taken aim at the disabled.

Honored to support justice for Rumeysa Ozturk.
Rümeysa's legal team is coordinating a fundraiser for her and her family to help them deal with this crisis, including medical costs since ICE has kept Rümeysa from accessing all her medications. Please donate if you're able:

Josh at Talking Points Memo is writing here about how we act as citizens when the courts are going rogue. The courts are sometimes useful, but as they veer away from the constitution towards supporting oligarchy, it's up to us to insist on a democratic and constitutional balance of powers.

After lawsuits led a federal judge on Monday to bar agencies from enforcing any remaining elements of Trump's spending freeze, the EPA Tuesday directed agency officials to allow disbursement of funds from at least some programs under the bipartisan infrastructure law and Inflation Reduction Act.
