The Corporate Push to Criminalize Speech
There's a lot of discourse happening about free speech in the context of "cancel culture" these days, but precious little coverage of the push all over the world to criminalize protest...particularly environmental and climate protest. We'll be digging into this trend in detail over the next several months, but first a look at what prompted extractive industries to start agitating for governments to crack down on protest, what tactics they use, and why they've been so effective.

Disha Ravi on Becoming the Face of "Radical" Protest in India
When she was just 22, Disha Ravi, co-founder of Fridays for Future in India, had police show up at her home, borrow a pen and paper to write an arrest warrant on the spot, and bundle her onto a plane to fly across the country to a city she'd never been to. Here she explains what happened, how it's still impacting her two years later, and why she'll never let it stop her activism or force her out of India.
An extended version of this interview will run in partnership with the Heated newsletter next week, as the G20 Summit gets underway in Delhi.

Brilliant journalism I listen with incredulity much of the time to learn about the shenanigans of the climate change deny folk in the oil and gas industry. That lobbyists are allowed to address school children is deeply shocking and so wrong. Drilled is a beacon of hope and truth - good for you, please keep going! Best wishes
To the point!
Not only a revisiting of corporate propaganda seeking - but succeeding - to undermine science and politics, but also a call to collective action! Time to stop feeling guilty about being alive and to demand effective government policies! My only complaint: the episodes could be longer and more complex.
