Stop telling youth you're "inspired" by our climate action when you are unwilling to vote for a climate leader who will protect our futures. #BernieForPresident

Scientists: you should wash your hands because of Coronavirus.
People: I'm gonna stop flying, hoard masks, work from home & totally rearrange my life.
Also Scientists: the #ClimateCrisis will kill millions - we must use clean power & change how we get to work.
People: No way.

Charging $1750 to get in the door of the Democratic primary debate is such a good metaphor for the party

Pay attention to the Gerald Reed case. Send this to your valentine, mami, papi, tio, tia, primos etc etc
#FreeGeraldReed we need to hold Judge Horrible Hennelly accountable for this grave injustice, and we need all hands on deck to do so.
Today in one of the worst miscarriages of justice ever seen, Judge Hennelly reversed the Dec 18, 2018 ruling to vacate Gerald Reed’s conviction & sent him back to prison to serve out the remainder of his sentence.
This system is not for us. We must overthrow it. #FreeGeraldReed

Dakota Access and Energy Transfer are trying to double DAPL’s oil capacity, after 10+ spills. The Illinois Commerce Commission is waiting to approve this decision - because people are fighting back.

The media's eyes are trained on New Hampshire today but in Chicago organizers are engaged in an ongoing sit in at Mayor Lori Lightfoot's office that multiple city council members have joined to demand a community benefits agreement for the new Obama center. People power in action
@ObamaCBA and @StopChicago members sit in at city hall until our CBA demands are met and we meet with Lori @chicagosmayor! #CBAnow #CBASitIn

Hate to break it to you, but the results thus far are great for Bernie. He won the popular vote; Biden’s “electability” is dead in the water; a candidate w no chance of winning the nom got a boost, further fragmenting centrists. We aren’t victims. We’re winning. Let’s get to work

THREAD: Let's talk about the song "High Hopes"! The @PeteButtigieg campaign appears to have made it part of is brand, even choreographing a little dance. On the surface, it seems bright and pleasant if a bit vacuous. But what can we learn from the lyrics?

By blurring lines btw workplace & community, Chicago teachers follow in the tradition of Packinghouse workers who organized against racial segregation & dockworkers who shut down ports to protest US wars. My latest on @CTULocal1 & social justice unionism
