Andy Ngo’s antifa book No. 1 weeks before release
Andy Ngo, the chronicler of violent antifa and Black Lives Matter riots, has broken the code on selling books.
(Note: I'm not claiming that Andy Ngo is a fascist in the above post, but criticizing anti-fascist efforts without sufficient statements on the threats they're responding to is, whether intentionally or not, a pro-fascist action.)

Just a reminder that environmental justice is M A N D A T O R Y in discussing ANY environmental issue or policy. When you don't think about marginalized groups in your environmentalism, the marginalized get blamed. You get get Malthusian myths and blaming climate change on "brown people breeding" instead of the global north's greed and rate of consumption.
When you leave out the marginalized, you get great environmental programs in white, gentrified cities and everyone else is left in the dust. Everybody deserves access to those programs, not just the rich. Not to mention that if those programs only exist those white, gentrified cities, they are absolutely useless in fighting climate change and pollution, and really only exist as ego-strokes for hipsters. The forces of capitalism and gentrification are an unavoidable barriers in protecting the earth and the people on it.
If an "environmentalist" ever tells you "those issues are important but not what we're focusing on" educate them the FUCK up! You should always, always always be considering environmental justice.
