    "My immediate reaction was to say, ‘I don’t talk with the FBI,’” Neill said. The man said, “OK,” and Neill shut the door. Two other activists described similar visits in interviews with WBUR.

    This guy is my hero. :)

    It’s as if the powers that be think the only path to a fossil fuel free future is terrorism. So they treat climate activists as terrorists.

      I don’t like CEO’s and board members being called “the powers that be”, because they’re the ones demanding this.

      And they treat them that way,b ecause they know they’re right. They don’t want to spend money to make more money by diversifying or investing in new technology. They just want more money right now at the cost of the earth and human lives.

    Currently reading Zodiac by Neal Stephenson. His writing has been eerily spot on to current topics in his other books (Stephenson invented the metaverse in the 90s!) and this one begins around eco warriors in Boston.

    Very curious now how it’ll go on.
