Bet you didn't know street cleaning looked like this in the past! Our workers, with their horses, helped make NYC streets clean and healthy for all. #flashbackfriday
Fascists fear truth. Fascists fear an informed and unafraid society. I'm proud to be working on people's history projects of the ilk that this government wants to silence. #400yearsofinequality https://t.co/XpTnAZPdkL
Marielle Franco, a black Brazilian councilwoman who fought for the rights of blacks, women, & the poor, was assassinated in Rio, Brazil, on March 14, 2018.
Now there's a documentary on the black women who felt moved to enter politics after her murder.

I wrote a piece - based on research I did in 2018, but in consideration of the current threats to composting initiatives and fossil fuel infrastructure - on why addressing the waste system in NYC is still necessary, and how composting plays a part. https://t.co/MEmvA2StFY
Great work by Lin but compost micro-haulers are nothing new! @nytimes interview @DiorNoel about the work of #greenfeenorganix in the Bronx and @CommonCompost in Manhattan + many others; @BKROT started doing this 5 years ago. 😊 https://t.co/Xz4xi7kut5
Stop saying “we can’t afford” Homes for All, Green New Deal or Medicare for All.

We suffer from greed, not scarcity.
The big news at the Supreme Court today will be Trumps taxes. But for Indians in Oklahoma, we’ll be talking about today for decades.
After a century of #Oklahoma not following our treaty rights, the Supreme Court said no more.
Eastern Oklahoma is Indian Country.
Historical figure statues emphasize the "great man" framework of history, when truly, society is made through by many varied contributors, systems, and coalitions - most underrepresented. Conspicuously missing from the sculpture list: indigenous Americans. https://t.co/kMAshSdrZ7
I commend sanitation workers and city officials for doing their best in this time of chaos. But the effects show how these crises stack on top of one another, further exacerbating public health. Inequality must be addressed in our policies and practices.
1. Unfortunately @NYCMayor and @NYCSanitation have suspended organics collection to save $. The costs will continue to be born by EJ communities. https://t.co/OD7oyYkqnG
"the more we rely on markets that prioritize convenience over sustainability, the less we are prepared to be resilient during times like these, and less prepared to depend on the local resources in our respective environments." https://t.co/aLgS6zZDTU
