The American West is literally ablaze. It’s not enough to say Mother Nature is telling us something. It’s not enough to thank heroic first responders & volunteers. And it’s not enough to promote incremental change. We need a Green New Deal & we need to get off fossil fuels - NOW.

There is a particular kind of sociopath, someone whose lack of empathy has been channeled specifically into efforts to strip the US government of any moral or ethical responsibility to its citizens. Many of them are in office now and it is time to vote them out.

It’s like this country is out of it’s mind. We won’t protect ourselves against a deadly disease, or poverty, or homelessness, or hunger, or all manner of unnecessary suffering, but we will protect ourselves against an enemy that has not appeared yet.

No, Marxism is not my dream. 🙄And of course I’ve heard of the Uygurs;I have spoken about China’s horrible treatment of them many times.

We need to make sure everyone is aware of this story. Chevron seeks to punish an environmental justice lawyer severely...and with governmental help. #FreeSteven
BREAKING: @thenation explains how @Chevron colluded with a judge to deny me a jury of my peers in 2013 -- and how it is doing it again today as I face an unfair trial and prison. Meanwhile, in the Amazon my clients are dying from Chevron's pollution. thenation.com/article/activi…

🙄. There are no “union subsidies.”

Plus ending the corporate subsidies, of course. Somehow I left that out.

So you think that if Trump wins, the DNC will take that as a sign that they should change? That is not what would happen. Babe.

The question should not be “what it will cost us” to provide Medicare4All, college tuition, college loan debt cancellation etc. The question should be how much it has already cost us as a society that so many Americans live lives of chronic economic despair.

Tens of millions of people have no idea what would happen if they or their kids got sick, how to can send their kids to college or escape a college loan debt. Those are accumulated layers of trauma that suppress people’s ability to create either wealth or happiness in their lives

Money doesn’t come from jobs dropped like crumbs from a table of corporate aristocrats; it comes from creativity & productivity of the people. A prosperous economy (for all) doesn’t come from people competing for crumbs; it comes from people being able to create their best lives.
