As we’re on the picket for the climate strike today, remember Indigenous people are at the forefront of climate justice. We need a Red Deal for decolonization, decarbonization, and anti-capitalism for the world to live. Four Principles of the Red Deal https://t.co/THnyvUtiMV

Still no further clarification from @BillGates on his giving to Media Lab? Absolutist attacks on elite philanthropy are getting louder--I'm increasingly hearing ppl say it's all rotten. Gates has not only been at vanguard of promoting elite giving but making it public vocation.

Today's the 48th anniversary of the Attica Prison Uprising.

Terrible conditions & racism sparked a 4-day standoff that ended in police killing 39 unarmed people.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Betsy DeVos may not agree, but we believe young people should leave school excited about the future—not saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in student debt.

We will cancel student debt and make public colleges, universities and trade schools tuition-free.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Congress gives hundreds of billions of dollars to fund our endless wars each year, yet making public college and universities tuition-free is somehow "too radical." I reject that.

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

Documents obtained by The New Yorker reveal that the M.I.T. Media Lab had a deeper fund-raising relationship with Jeffrey Epstein than it has previously acknowledged, and it attempted to conceal the extent of its contacts with him. https://t.co/1PvXpybd0s

Fare enforcement on first day of school is a "slap in the face" to Rainier Beach students who fought for free transit passes, says teacher @JessedHagopian https://t.co/9qFej3U2Ym

[Spek @spekulation]

This is absurd and every single person responsible for this decision should be fired. I can't think of a more basic purpose for public transportation than getting kids to school, and can't think of a worse way to make kids resent it. What the fuck are you doing, @SoundTransit ?

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

This is the richest country on Earth and we have:

-40 million in poverty
-34 million with no health insurance
-Half our people living paycheck to paycheck

I refuse to accept that as normal.

UPDATE: Adds audio.

Frustrated parents hope for fewer delays and cancellations in Seattle's school bus service when school starts tomorrow. The previous academic year saw more than 4,000 delays or canceled routes. @ashleykgross reports: https://t.co/kVROtgcGmV

"This appears to be an effort by school districts to evade compliance with those policies and procedures by pushing off their investigations obligations back onto parents,” said attorney Shannon McMinimee. https://t.co/KCJhDE7rdn
