Fascinating.
This week, Chile announced a proposed new constitution written by a democratically elected convention, and it is likely the most legitimate constitution in the world, as it is written boldly in the context of the climate crisis. A 🧵on its inspiring climate provisions.

The body can take a lot of injury and sickness as long as the immune system is healthy. Our civilization can take a lot of injury and sickness too, as long as enough of us actively become immune cells doing what we can to heal the wounds in our midst.

Well put. Add Flint, Michigan in there as well.
We give the Pentagon over $2,000,000,000 every single day, but Jackson, Mississippi doesn’t have clean water. Make it make sense.

Excellent!
Alaska Congresswoman-elect @MaryPeltola has taken congratulatory calls from @lisamurkowski, Speaker Pelosi, Prez Biden, among a million others. Pretty good 49th birthday present for her.

I don't think everything bad that happens is America's fault. Not anywhere close.

The revitalization of the labor movement is one of the brightest lights on the horizon. Americans are getting it. 71% approval is highest since 1965. news.gallup.com/poll/398303/…

Responsible people are screwed over every single day by insurance companies, Big Pharma, Big Food, chemical companies, the NRA, Big Oil and defence contractors. Responsible people are not screwed over by forgiving those college loans.

You’re twisting my words but that’s OK. It’s Twitter.

Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan. You don't see any problems there? The US has also done some great things, but we're not going to get out of the quagmire we're in by denying the huge shadows and mistakes of our past. The fact that we deny them is why too often we repeat them.

You have no idea what kind of writer I am because you have never read my books. (You should never take your advice from someone who gets their opinions secondhand from the internet.) It was Gorbachev who allowed the breakup of the Soviet Union. Of course he was in power.

We don’t just need policy change, we need systems change. We don’t just need the amelioration of stress, we need fundamental economic reform. The loan forgiveness is good but we should see it as just the beginning. This is a moment to be heartened but not a moment to slow down
