@alexmstevens @meepton Does this mean Pax is on his way here?

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

To understand the urgency of #GreenNewDeal, look to France. Neoliberal climate action passes on the costs to working people, offers them no better jobs or services + lets big polluters off the hook. People see it as a class war, because it is. https://t.co/xtuF35XXVP

Proud of the 290% shareholder return that is the RESULT of a more socially and environmentally responsible model. In fact it’s the only way to ensure long term returns. Put yourself to service of society

BREAKING—as in breaking democracy: a truly shocking & naked power grab underway in Wisconsin. Dems won every statewide race this Nov. Now, the GOP unveiled sweeping bills to straightjacket the Gov & AG, stomp on early voting, & lock in power on state Sup Court. Votes THIS TUE. 1/

Poverty is not created by poor people. 🙌

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

Anyone else feeling pummeled by the triple whammy of the IPCC climate report, Brazil's election results + the f-u of the Kavanaugh's appointment? It all feels connected somehow: greed cooking our planet, elites pitting us against each other, while wrapping themselves in impunity.
