"The essence of Capitalism is to turn nature into commodities, and commodities into Capital. The live green Earth is transformed into dead gold bricks, with luxury items for the few, and toxic slag heaps for the many."

Energy companies are more concerned with raking in profits than delivering affordable, sustainable energy. We need to wrest control away from them — and socialize the electrical grid.

Hey @NYSComptroller it's time to #DivestNY pension fund from fossil fuels b/c funding climate change is insane for the state. It will also lose us (even more) money.

We need robust public discussion on climate change NOW. Don't be held hostage by the oil & gas-funded DNC. Help us signal boost Howie's campaign so we can have a real discussion. Sign up to volunteer or donate TODAY! http://howie2020.us/nodnc #greennewdeal #ecosocialism
I wonder what the Democrats might do if you were willing to support candidates in other parties - say the Green Party - who are much stronger on climate change. A lesson much of the rest of the world long ago absorbed.

TONIGHT! How we move forward with climate solutions in NYS, an amazing conversation among 4 of us on the front lines of political action—biologist, state senator, youth leader, and NY Green Party cofounder—choreographed by the always penetrating Susan Arbetter.
Not to be missed!

From the NOAA, a satellite photograph of the estimated 74,000 fires raging across the Amazon right now.
Socialist Bolivia bought a Boeing 747 to fight the fires, while Brazil's hyper-capitalist leadership fans the flames & does nothing in service to their agribusiness owners.
When you advocate for policies that will end all human life on Earth but you pretend it's super progressive
The confluence of centuries of vicious exploitation of people and our ecosystems coming to a head with the physical limits of the planet, in the form of a grotesque monster turning the richest treasure of the country they govern into ash.
In the USA, we too can relate.
Sick of shoveling down blood-drenched dollars from the defense contractors and richest corporations on earth who are burning our planet alive, Neera?
Glad you can take a break to shout at people for voting for a project that provided solutions to the problems the world faces.
