I encountered a new (to me) antifascist podcast thanks to Kelly from #movementmemos @truthout.org that my cohort of allies and comrades will resonate with, learn from, and embrace. Check it out podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... #moveleft

Practicing New Worlds in a Time of Collapse “Our survival is at stake,” says author and organizer Andrea Ritchie.

One of my favorite conversations was w/ @mskellymhayes.bsky.social about decentralized organizing, direct action, the world we build in our relationships & #PracticingNewWorlds in times of collapse on #MovementMemos by @truthout.bsky.social, an essential podcast.

Folks who listen to/read #MovementMemos, I just want to let y'all know that the show will not be returning until next week. We planned to have our first episode of the year drop tomorrow, but we ran into some issues & I wasn't up for the work marathon that publishing this week would have required.
