A good policy is to feed 100 people -- even if one might be undeserving -- than to let anybody go hungry. A bad policy is to let 100 people go hungry, than to accidentally feed one who is undeserving.

OUT TODAY 🎧 we spoke with @jasonhickel.bsky.social about what the rise of China means in terms of the current world order and the implications for the US (and along the way we explore some history and tackle some important questions like, is China capitalist? is it imperialist? etc.)

Trump signed 60+ executive orders in a month—none were for you. He let billionaires loot, dismantle, & dodge justice. Now, they’re tearing at the Constitution to stay in power. We must fight back. Monday, Feb 17 at your state capitol. 50 states, 50 capitols, 1 protest.Stand up: www.fiftyfifty.one

What's something I wish everyone knew? It would take only 0.04-0.27% of annual global GDP over the next 10 years to restore degraded land worldwide!! That's significantly less than the world spends on bombs or carparks. Our priorities are upside down.

I can't believe that there has not been one single headline in the mainstream press that reads "displaced climate refugees expected to rise to 1.2 billion people in less than 25 years"

Two studies published yesterday in Nature Climate Change find that Earth has effectively already warmed 1.5°C. Yes, this seems to be happening silently, but to be clear: over 1.5C of heating some places become uninhabitable and the risk of tipping points rises enormously. 1/n

We cannot address ecological collapse without addressing runaway capitalism. It is time for an economic system based on the tenets of ecological systems. Ecosystems do not have perpetual growth - there is balance. Capitalism is like the Nothing from The Never Ending Story.

F*ck! 🚨The ocean is losing its ability to store heat as the planet warms up🚨 With a record high rate of heat accumulation, that means that more heat is available to warm the land and atmosphere, and to melt ice. Both relatively and absolutely. Which is exactly what we see!

Every once in awhile I encounter the most kind and generous people. These encounters always lift my spirits and help restore my faith in humanity.
