Princeton sociologist Matthew Desmond says if the top 1% of Americans paid the taxes they owed, it would raise $175 billion each year.

"That is just about enough to pull everyone out of poverty," the author says. https://t.co/YU9SfgcKdi

To everyone asking why reporters didn't dig up the George Santos story before the election ... a fair question .... ask yourself when you last paid for your local newspaper, like Newsday on Long Island, which covers it day in and out.

The fossil fuel industry gets 11 million dollars in subsidies every single minute: https://t.co/a9XupnWn2k

How many more disasters does it take before we stop funding the problem? #ActOnClimate

Rich people flying private jets to UN talks sponsored by Coca Cola that give the fossil fuel industry a huge seat at the table while criminalizing climate activists is NOT the way to stop irreversible catastrophic fossil-fueled global heating. #COP27

140,000 soccer fields of forest in one month under Bolsonaro. The Amazon, the lungs of the earth, being destroyed before our eyes.

If the Amazon goes it’s taking us with it. #ActOnClimate

If Biden is unable to freeze prices in the worldwide oil market, then I have no choice but to vote to end democracy in the United States.

@AbiluTangwa 10. But equally or even more worried about biodiversity collapse.

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.

Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.

The uncomfortable truth is that every consumerist luxury we enjoy - including the phone I’m typing this on - is possible only because of the exploitation of the poor, the global south & the burning of our own futures.

Not wanting change is being ok with this.

These 100 companies are responsible for 71% of all CO2 emissions in the world. This is where we need to start. It's that simple: https://t.co/jxjQp6DKEB

The world’s largest coal plant is being turned into a huge #solar farm. It's time we all made the switch to #renewables

We have the solutions to the #climatecrisis. Let's shift the subsidies & implement them. #ActOnClimate

BREAKING: Just eight oil and gas companies are involved in over 200 expansion projects on track for approval from 2022 through 2025 — equivalent to the lifetime emissions of 77 new coal power plants. #BigOilReality https://t.co/6vEMou22jO

The treatment for an ectopic pregnancy is abortion.

The treatment for a septic uterus is abortion.

The treatment for a miscarriage that your body won’t release is abortion.

If you can’t get those abortions, you die.

You. Die.
