How injustices compound: Many protestors are people who‘ve lost health insurance during COVID. After being beaten, tear gassed, or badly hurt, many are afraid to seek medical care to check for bleeds, fractures, or head injuries because they are newly uninsured.

Minneapolis City Council is Talking about disbanding the Police and I think it’s about time we start having the conversation for real in government. We can do so much better than just funding punishment and producing more harm. Chicago Council let’s talk. citypages.com/news/minneapol…

Greatly looking forward to this event tomorrow at 6pm ET with @JamaalBowmanNY - a champion for people and planet that the world needs in Congress!

Kentucky, I am so proud of you. I truly hope I made you proud of me too. It is my honor to stand on the front line for you. We didn’t win at the ballot box, but what we have done is undeniable. I am humbled. I am grateful. From the hood to the holler, I love you. My statement.

It’s true. Had ⁦Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez⁩ not run for Congress in ‘18, I doubt I would’ve announced my own long-shot bid last summer. She shows us what’s possible, against conventional wisdom. The best leaders in American politics are able to will things into existence. theguardian.com/us-news/2020/a…

The Green New Deal is and has been lied about nonstop, and yet is STILL popular. It’s a massive job-creation and infrastructure plan to decarbonize & increase quality of work and life. It’s okay to call the GOP out on those lies just as we call them out on all their other lies.

Sunrise earns its name every day.

Seems like McConnell continuing to block Covid relief should be *the* overriding issue in the Georgia run-offs. Maybe then 82 % of voters who rank "the economy" as their #1 issue won't vote Republican. Be the party fighting for a people's bailout. Period. cnn.com/2020/11/12/pol…

So, today Biden signed an order calling for "the establishment of a Civilian Climate Corps Initiative to put a new generation of Americans to work conserving and restoring public lands and waters..." That's such good news and a hard won victory. Couple thoughts in the thread.

Young ppl need jobs, time with each other, and the land needs healing. But the devil will be in the detail. The jobs have to pay a living wage. And the biggest challenge will be making sure the entire program is rooted in Indigenous land rights + leadership - no green colonialism

I wrote about how not to lose "the lockdown generation" here. theintercept.com/2020/08/06/nao…

My friend Lucas is running for Senate! He aims to take back Missouri from folks like Josh Hawley by taking on big corporations and fighting for working people. I hope you'll check him out and support his campaign!

Our work is to show how capital can perform & behave differently, to show what’s possible. Invert the power and benefit from capital using people TO people using capital. Capital can be different. There is no excuse to not change. -Brendan Martin #SkollWF

Friends, I'm announcing that I'm seeking the NDP nomination for West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country. We're in a unique moment with the opportunity to fix the overlapping crises we face but only if we do it together, for the many, not the few eventbrite.ca/e/avi-lewis-ca…

In 2015, the #LeapManifesto caused quite a fuss with a simple demand, grounded in science and Indigenous knowledge: no new fossil fuel infrastructure. Six years later, the International Energy Agency has finally caught up. When will Canada? #GreenNewDeal
