Wild animals, Mountain Lions!,  are invading the new world headquarters of the big bank, all the way up to the 70th floor office of Jamie Dimon.

The Church of Stop Shopping has provided six bullhorns to project the upsetting screams of the famous apex big cat.  The church services are held at the public garden on Madison Ave, between 47th and 48th, the behemoth buildings ‘back door’.  The largest bank in the world and top investor in fossil fuel, including the four major pipelines in North America, including Israeli weapons…. The screams of the lion will be echoing in the fortress-like Chase HQ, as employees find angry Pumas on their phones and computers, in their minds.

Hosted by Reverend Billy and Savitri D, EARTH RIOT is a wild, music-filled exploration of humanity’s most urgent issue -- the planet’s Sixth Extinction. Made by the Earth-loving urban activists  from The Church of Stop Shopping, this podcast educates, inspires, and urges listeners to embrace reality and take action. Featuring News From the Natural World  a weekly synthesis  of scientific events and reports, , and insightful interviews with radical leaders in environmentalism and activism.

Have Your Dreams Come True 

Millions of us environmentalists are stuck. Big Oil & their banks corrupt whole countries as mass extinction accelerates.  

What have we done lately?  Cultivate our self-pitying trance?  NO! - let's be a WOKE MONSTERS FOR THE EARTH. The new 70 story Chase Bank HQ - top climate poisoner - is a fortress. The signal is clear. We can’t get in. They live. We die. Let’s not throw ourselves against the walls. Let’s turn around. GO OUTSIDE!!! The Earth has more much more power than Jamie Dimon. The Earth gives us our vision of change. Something more than hope. Earthalujah!

Who knew?  At the end of Trump's term in office, Americans were shocked as 70,000 ICE veterans turned to meditation after bursting into tears at Truth and Reconciliation sessions.  

Forced into abandoned government housing units for the mass healing process mandated by the courts, called by wags "The Asshole Hilton", the ICE vets were stricken with guilt so paralyzing that they actually took the advice of the protesters to "SHUT THE EF UP AND GO HOME!!!" - which is similar to the practice of committing to long periods of silence with closed eyes.

What are we learning?

Are you asking this question? We need to learn something crucial about community, something we will never forget. Renee Good and Alex Pretti. They are role models. They were not reckless. They did not do the wrong thing. They were killed a stone's throw from their homes. They were both just beyond their front doors. And instinctively they put their personal defense in the smallest acts of kindness.  Renee died saying "I'm not mad at you" and Alex was helping a woman that ICE pushed to the sidewalk. Renee and Alex teach us that ordinary love is to be seen, to be thanked, to be practiced and protected.

Today, Take a Moment 

We honor Dr. King and the loving activists who gave their lives. We hold their lives in memory, as masked men hunt down our neighbors and shoot anyone who argues. 

Foreign and domestic security seeks to surveil, track and neutralize people that are in any way righteously moral, funny in the wrong way, or…just… well, different, other.  Great Women and Great Men died for our rights, but now you can be a martyr just by making an ill-advised u-turn or bird watching a bird thats flown into the wrong backyard. Look up at the sky.

Only The Earth Can Stop The United States

The devilish "greatness" of our government, guided by profiteering and the very rich’s expanding circles of murderers…

…will be culled by a giant gardener pulling a noxious weed, as the rise of the Earth against the fossil fuel toxins takes over the planet. I’m not just talking about the fire and flood and drought and sea-rise, which now threatens us, but also the power of life and love and evolution, the endless variety of new life running, flying, swimming, wriggling into being. The thousands of new-to-our-scientsts species that were discovered in 2025 is reviewed by Savitri D in the “News from the Natural World” in this week’s Earth Riot Radio.  Listen in and you will be convinced that new life is vigorously alive.

We celebrate the New Year with a special live performance, in it's entirety. Reverend Billy & The StopShopping Choir get to the heart of the matter.  Start to finish, up and down, this is the message. We are the Earth and whatever it is you do, make the earth part of your work. 

Love is a profit center.  Love is a Hollywood slang word.  Love is claimed by religions, which teach investment bankers to wage wars.Love is a song that we all sing while knowing that there is a responsibility that we are taking on with the use of Love, and so we walk away from our meaningful time with Love, because taken seriously we often attract Indifference, Disease and Hate.  Love would have to be something that we all did at once. It's possible. It's absolutely necessary. It's probably uncomfortable and often fatal.  I love you.

Modern science, the war machine, and the whole tradition of the USA conquering the West is based on the shared belief that we control the Earth's forces. We will save ourselves and the life around us with a very basic - maybe even disorienting and painful - change in what we believe about the Earth. We are a living being inside a larger living being called the Earth. Now that is real.--

Honey, when did humanity become just ridiculous? When did that happen? This morning? It happened fast and very recently.

The machines are humouring us. The machines are eating our children. The machines are feeling lonely today. The machines are finding new investments in Crypto, AI and ICE. The machines have lost control of their bowels but they love waste. The machines are programmed to search for love and bring it back to the market. And if we refuse?
