Unclear what differentiates the current invasion of Rafah from a 'major' one, but it's clear that Biden is feeling the pressure from protests & voters who overwhelmingly oppose genocide—don't stop.

Because we can't wait for more deaths to halt arms to Israel, it must stop now.

Check out Marianne Lavelle’s story for Inside Climate News on how the Build GREEN Act will prioritize building public transit powered by clean electricity and making it available to rural and frontline communities ⬇️

We're proud to introduce the BUILD GREEN Infrastructure and Jobs Act under the Green New Deal! Our bill allocates $500B to U.S. Department of Transportation to electrify and modernize transit across the country. Together, we can make America green and electric!

For climate mitigation and a slew of other reasons, it is vital that the federal government invest heavily in public transit rather than continuing to reinforce car-centric transportation systems. State and local governments can't/won't do it on their own. insideclimatenews.org/news/06052024/…

⏰ Time is of the essence! The United Nations' climate chief warns we have just 2 years to save the planet. It's time for bold and immediate action! Join us in demanding the Biden administration declare a climate emergency now. greennewdealnetwork.org/active_campaig…

🚨 New GND bill:

We're joining Elizabeth Warren and Robert Garcia to set the bar high for the future of public transit.

Our Build GREEN Act will invest $500 billion in building green, affordable transportation – while creating good local jobs.

The first Green New Deal for schools has passed.

Boulder, Colorado buses and schools will now move to 100% renewable energy, students will be able learn about sustainability, and they'll be prepared for good union jobs in the new green economy.

Your district could be next.

why the hell do you need this for a bunch of unarmed students? bffr

The UAW will never support the mass arrest or intimidation of those exercising their right to protest, strike, or speak out against injustice.

The fossil fuel industry has been raking in over $600 billion in profits every year—all while lying to Americans *for generations* about the extent of their harm on our health & the climate.

Now, some in the US Senate is preparing to fight back.

Jamie Raskin and Senate Budget Committee Chairman @SenWhiteHouse released a report unveiling new documents exposing the fossil fuel industry’s evolving strategies to spread disinformation and prevent action on climate change. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/news/press-rel…

Wrote for The Nation about what we have been watching over the past 24 hours. The people in power are terrified of the strength of this movement, and they are doing everything they can to punish students for having the audacity to challenge them. thenation.com/article/activi…

This is NYC's response to college students protesting genocide?

The fact that every organized protest against injustice in this nation's history has been met with state-sanctioned violence is a disturbing reflection of our democracy's inability to tolerate dissent.

We need to understand, urgently, that we either divest from imperialism or we get fascism. The ruling class is eagerly ushering in fascism at home to defend their fascism abroad. And we have to reject all of it, right now.

.WKCR-FM NY: 'Hearing that if student journalists leave Pullitzer Hall, they will be arrested.'

The violent irony of silencing and imprisoning student journalists in a hall named after Pullitzer.

NEW: ALL SEVEN CONTINENTS HAVE STUDENT GAZA SOLIDARITY PROTESTS 🤯

Student protesters were right about segregation in the early '60s, right about Vietnam in the late '60s, right about apartheid in the '80s, right about Iraq in 2003, and right about wealth inequality in 2011. Seems generally bad to side against student movements.
