France Turns Up the Heat
In this report, we catch up with some of the recent developments in France, where the Nuit Debout movement is going strong, workers everywhere are going on strike, and a growing, decentralized movement is turning into a laboratory for innovative street fighting tactics. And to top it all off… Euro2016 is just starting!

Heat-Stoked Wildfires Erupt Across US West — Out of Control Blaze Rages Near Oil Processing Facility
“Southwest Drought Fuels Wildfire Near Santa Barbara Oil Refinery
It’s a rash of wildfires fueled by above normal temperatures and an endemic and steadily worsening drying of the region. Ongoing conditions related to human-caused climate change. And California has seen the worst of it. There, extreme drought has now lasted for three years. And in all of the past nine years, California has only seen two non-drought years.
By late Wednesday, these dry, warm conditions combined with strong sundowner winds to stoke fire dangers near the city. At that time, a 300 acre blaze burning near an oil facility exploded to cover about 2 miles of ground. By early Thursday, the huge blaze was raging out of control along a ridge near an Exxon-Mobile oil processing station.”

Looks fun, it would be nice if shit could get done without shutting down bullet trains and thousands of tire fires, but unfortunately even with such extreme action real progress is rare.

“unfortunately even with such extreme action real progress is rare”
it’s even rarer without some threat of revolution.
