My article in Newsweek is out today: "No amount of innovation can correct the cascading social and ecological harms wrought by decades of overshoot, whose solution we already know: a planned, thoughtful contraction of our population and consumption." https://t.co/m6nuhFPLhY
@harrisonjaime Just say it in plain English:

Kamala Harris didn't lose because she's a woman or because she's black.
She lost because if your donor-rigged political and media system limits the choice to two hardline neoliberal candidates, with anything else denounced as 'communism', the most hardline, neoliberal candidate will have an edge.

You have to rise up against the diseased system itself.
