Having #earthday fun with @matt_sedillo gracing us with his bracing spoken word poetry. In Downtown Los Ángeles with @xrebellionla @socal.350

Here’s to the #Easter witches of Sweden who fly (on a broom, I guess) to this little island of Blkulla, which is where supposedly the devil is having a party. As you can see, they prefer coffee. They also carry an ointment that assists them in flying. The image is a vintage Swedish postcard of an #EasterWitch

Adam McKay, director of the Oscar-nominated movie #dontlookup joined us in Downtown Los Angeles to call on @citynationalbank to divest from their financing of climate chaos, including the Coastal Gas Link Pipeline that violates unceded Indigenous Wet’suwet’en land in British Columbia. #climatechange #indigenousrights #coastalgaslink #nomoredirtybanks #adammckay

BREAKING NEWS: Juan Orlando Hernandez, former US and Canadian-backed dictator of Honduras, arrested for US drug-trafficking charges. From @rightsaction Truth & accountability for US & Canadian complicity It is not plausible that this corrupt, military regime would have come to power in the first place, without US and Canadian support for the June 28, 2009 military coup that ousted the elected government of President Mel Zelaya. It is not plausible that the drug-trafficking regime headed by Juan Orlando Hernandez and his National Party would have remained in power for 12 years and 7 months without the unconditional support of the US, Canada, Spain and the EU, the World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank and International Monetary Fund, and numerous global companies and investors. From the day of the 2009 coup forward, Republican and Democrat administrations in the US and Conservative and Liberal governments in Canada, maintained full military, economic and political relations with this “democratic allie” in Honduras, lying every step of the way about the true nature of the military-backed, corrupt, exploitative and repressive regime they were propping up.

Since the pandemic began, and long before then, many would concur that capitalism in its current form is failing, here and globally. Rooted in inequity, exploitation, profiteering, and social injustice, capitalism exacerbates inequality, disempowerment, and poverty by benefiting only the few. In this show we interview Della Z. Duncan, Renegade Economist, who invites all to ponder what is the purpose of the economy? What is capital? What is value? How is wealth created & sustained? Are we engaged in meaningful work that promotes planetary health? How might we use our gifts, contribute to society, meet our basic human needs & thrive individually and collectively? Hear Della Duncan share provocative insights from the growing movement to revolutionize our perceptions, understanding and practice of renegade economics in our lives. Della Z Duncan hosts the Upstream Podcast, uplifting stories of regenerative economics. She supports individuals working to align their values with their work as a Right Livelihood Coach. She also works with organizations as a cooperatives economic consultant, and facilitates courses and retreats around the world. LISTEN live @kpfthouston on Monday 9 am CT or check the link in bio!

Krampus arrived this last weekend. This half-goat, half-daemon of centuries-old Bavarian-Alpine lore, appears prior to the celebration of the benevolent giver Saint Nicholas on December 6th. #krampus #krampusnacht #krampuslauf

The communities of the Gulf of Mexico are at the nexus of climate change and community resistance. Port Arthur Texas is homebase for the largest oil refinery in North America and a dizzying toxic array of fossil fuel and chemical facilities. But the people are stepping up to say - NO MORE. Port Arthur Community Action Network (also known as PACAN) is raising the alarm, holding the polluters accountable, and paving the path to transition away from an extractive economy to one that supports restorative justice. Our guest, John Beard, Jr., Founder and CEO of Port Arthur Community Action Network, is helping to mobilize his community of Port Arthur and the Southeast Texas region. As a former oil employee turned advocate for environmental justice in the place he has lived all his life. He is the recipient of the 2021 Rose Braz Award for Bold Activism from the Center for Biological Diversity @centerforbiodiv LISTEN on @kpfthouston on Monday 9 am CT or later (link in bio) Guest: John Beard Jr. Host/Producer: Jessica Aldridge @AdventuresInWaste Exec.
