Want to lower costs? Beef up antitrust enforcement to break the corporate monopoly power that is jacking up costs for all of us.

Proud to be a Monopoly Busters Caucus Co-Chair alongside @RepJayapal.

[Thea Riofrancos @triofrancos]

What are the ways forward for climate action under Trump?

National policy is foreclosed. But a lot can happen at the state and local level. @aldatweets and I argue that we must embrace green economic populism, tackling the cost-of-living crisis and the climate crisis together 🧵

[Climate Defiance @ClimateDefiance]

This bill literally takes away food from the hungry in order to beef up the quarterly profits of multinational corporations and the stock portfolios of billionaires. The rest is commentary. (7/9)

[Climate Defiance @ClimateDefiance]

Background, in 2021, food stamp benefits went up, and it lifted 2,000,000 people - including 1,000,000 children - out of poverty. This would likely undo most of that. (6/9)

[Climate Defiance @ClimateDefiance]

This is a dark day for America. The Republican Party, priding itself on "fiscal responsibility," just voted to rip a $3,400,000,000,000 hole in the deficit in order to give tax breaks to billionaires - while cutting Medicaid and slashing climate funding. (1/9)🧵

[Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt]

BREAKING: Young people arrested while protesting the nomination of Chris Wright.

We all deserve a government that works for our future, not greedy CEOs and their profits, and our generation is going to keep showing up until we get it.

Four of us on the Mobilizing Team have wrote up some LTEs about the LA fires and Make Polluters pay and it got published today! @sfchronicle

[Stop the Money Pipeline @StopMoneyPipe]

Radical idea: How about instead of sending in private firefighters to defend the homes of the ultra-wealthy, insurance companies stop supporting the fossil fuel companies making wildfires worse.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

It is inhumane to politicize the fires in Southern California that have destroyed the lives of countless families. Congress must move urgently to provide lifesaving disaster aid to all those in need.

[Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt]

For decades, fossil fuel executives and lobbyists have quietly bought seats in the very government meant to regulate them.

The cost of Chris Wright's Energy Secretary nomination? $400k in donations to Trump's candidacy.

But the true cost is younger generations' futures.

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

⚠️BREAKING: 98% of SBWU baristas voted to authorize a ULP strike, if necessary - just DAYS before our emergency campaign call Thursday @ 8:30pm PT / 5:30pm ET 🔥✊

Our union is STRONG - and we’re READY. 🧵

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

A horrific genocide is happening right now and it should be documented in the Congressional Record. The silence and indifference in Congress is disturbing.

I submitted @Amnesty’s 296-page report concluding that the Israeli government is committing genocide against Palestinians.

[Jean Su 蘇安君 @ajeansu]

BREAKING: NC Town @CarrboroGov sued @DukeEnergy for decades of deceiving the public about the dangers of burning fossil fuels. This is the nation's first-ever climate deception lawsuit challenging an electric utility. #DukeEnergyKnew

Come together with us to advocate for the administration to take a stand against the Dakota Access Pipeline and show our solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. Let’s urge @POTUS and @USACEHQ to stop the pipeline and safeguard our water resources for the generations to com

[Indigenous Environmental Network @IENearth]

Safeguarding Indigenous rights safeguards our planet. Protecting Indigenous rights means protecting our lands, waters, and precious ecosystems. Our Traditional Knowledge is key to combating climate change, and Indigenous Peoples’ rights, sovereignty and leadership must be centered in addressing this crisis.

[Collin Rees @collinrees]

NOW: Hundreds of activists line the halls of #COP29 as negotiations drag well into overtime.

We’re not going down quietly — we are fighting for the TRILLIONS in climate finance rich countries owe to Global South.

Developing countries aren’t backing down + neither are we. #PayUp

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

I voted NO for a third time on the Nonprofit Killer HR. 9495. This bill could shut down nonprofits without due process, silencing groups like ACLU, NAACP, and Planned Parenthood. It's an assault on civil liberties and democracy. We must protect free speech & our right to dissent.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

For years I have been raising the alarm of the dangers of our current food system. We’re prioritizing corporations feeding us unhealthy products instead of family farmers growing fresh, healthy foods - and we let too many dangerous chemicals flood our food system.

We all must come together to build a system that works for all.
