An economic stimulus is partly about choice. We can no longer make these choices as if our investments and our values are separate. They're not. Investments reflect our values. We must tackle the climate crisis at the same time as rebuilding our economies. https://t.co/VjA7TNZjEN

If you’re feeling down about everything that went wrong in the world in 2018 (and, yes, there was a lot), then finish the year with this list of everything that went well. https://t.co/yYo5fGsqvu

Imagine being so evil that you overthrow an elected leftwing leader so corporations can better exploit a country, then prop up a violent rightwing regime, then intern refugees fleeing the chaos in privatized prisons and claim they violated your sovereignty

Grand hypocrisy. It's sickening. Destructive interference in other countries' affairs seems to be a feature of US politics no matter who's running the show. Where's the humanity, decency and respect to leave well alone?
