Those who claim that degrowth is somehow against development in poor countries either haven't bothered to read the literature, or seek deliberately to disinform. Degrowth is focused on reducing energy and resource use in the North, and is explicit about justice for the South.

How many floods, infernos, and dying ecosystems will it take for a critical mass of people to realize that profit-above-all-else is irreversibly destroying our collective future on Earth?

Wouldn't it be nice if pro-lifers focused on ending gun violence? Or suicide prevention? Or abolishing the death penalty? Or stopping police killings? Or fighting poverty? Or combating the opioid epidemic? Or ending wars? You know, things that would actually save lives?

thank you Marty Walsh for many good things and good luck! On the other hand, you were slow to shut down in March 20’ AND fast to open up clearly not prioritizing education. That was a fatal mistake, literally. #science #dataisdata Alas, I guess #businessisbusiness too...😞

Those who measure "progress" against global poverty by using the $1.90 per day (PPP) line should keep in mind that this is lower than the consumption level of enslaved people in the United States in the 19th century.

This graph has been used to claim that virtually all of humanity, for all of history, was destitute until the 19th century, when colonialism and capitalism came to the rescue. But, according to new research, the long-term trend is empirically baseless. jasonhickel.org/blog/2021/3/28…

If you can't find workers because they'd making more on unemployment than at your company, the problem isn't unemployment. The problem is your poverty wages.

In case anyone’s forgotten, this is why Colin Kaepernick took a knee... #BlackLivesMatter

it's a good thing for Matt Gaetz that he's just a privileged white man transporting teenagers across state lines and doing I-don't-even-want-to-know-what, and not, let's say, a black man selling loose cigarettes on a street corner, because there are serious consequences for that

If we can afford a $753,000,000,000 war budget, we can afford a Green New Deal. What we can’t afford is inaction.

"Trickle-down economics has never worked. It's time to grow the economy from the bottom and the middle out," says Biden. Exactly. Hopefully, this marks an end to Reaganomics -- one of the greatest economic failures in history.

Worker gets paid poverty wages: "that's the free market" Corporation goes bankrupt: "we must bail them out immediately"

Uber avoided taxes on $6B in revenue by setting up 50 shell companies in the Netherlands. Don't believe it for a second when these corporations claim they can't afford to pay workers a living wage.

“I am told that 50% of the reductions we have to make to get to net zero are going to come from technologies that we don’t yet have. That’s just a reality." This is the new denialism. Framed as "reality", no less. theguardian.com/environment/20…

if politicians really want to stimulate the economy they can raise the minimum wage. there's this interesting economic theory I've learned of recently where people tend to buy stuff when they have money.

Come on, can we all just agree that it's time to ramp down and phase out fossil fuels and the whole damned industry? For real? Do the actual work? Enough of all the tech unicorn green growth bullshit already.
