Plus it's leaders are good at heart, like Dylan Parsons' sharing a tweet by ★☭MassStrikeNow☭★ on the #GreenParty saying: "Working on it".

#DonaldTrump within 30 minutes of being inaugurated has already declared an #energy emergency to "drill baby drill". It highlights how spineless & corrupt #Democrats are that they never bothered to declare a #climateemergency & a real #GreenNewDeal. We must keep fighting for a Green New Deal.
My new favorite study of 2025 thus far: there is a lot of support among the #US public for #ecosocialist (degrowthish) policy.
“This study paves the way for new strategies for a transition that enhances well-being & reduces dependence on economic #growth.”

“Some of the themes emerging are consistent: every #wildfire is accused of not being a wildfire at all but a planned attack for some sinister end. This serves two purposes: casting doubt on #climatechange & finding a politically useful target to pin a disaster on.”

A new IPBES report demonstrates the dire state of #biodiversity loss & pins it on #capitalism:

I increasingly hear worry from scientists about #birdflu that could cause another #corona like situation. If the #climate community - in all its forms - do not use this as an opportunity to develop a #politics around sustainable #food we should quit kidding ourselves.

#Covid19 was an opportunity to pin the problem of #corona & #climatechange on an unsustainable #food system. But #activists, #organizers, & #policy people didn’t touch it.
