It’s important to remember that fossil fuel proponents aren’t just creating a climate crisis threatening the livable atmosphere, they’re also pushing a more expensive form of energy than what is available with renewables.

To be fair, this has always been her message.
From housing as a human right, to the Green New Deal, @aoc.bsky.social has always pitched a vision of a better life for working people. And importantly, she does it with hope and optimism.
Hence her slogan: “A better world is possible.”

Over the years, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been torn between different approaches to identity and class.
She’s no stranger to a universalist approach that emphasizes economic inequality and common struggle. If she runs for president, that’s the ticket.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Meanwhile, millions lack health care & we have the highest childhood and senior poverty rate of almost any major country.

After firing 100+ immigration judges and revoking protected status from legal immigrants, the Trump regime now wants to strip citizenship from hundreds of naturalized Americans every month.
Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader.
So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

Elon Musk’s net worth has now surpassed $600 billion, just weeks after Tesla approved his 10-year, $1 trillion pay package.
That could amount to $100 billion per year — more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks combined.
Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

From a young age, LGBTQ people are disproportionately targeted by and overrepresented in the criminal legal system.
An alarming fact given the escalating criminalization of gender-affirming care for trans kids.

Meanwhile, Trump gutted a program that helps low-income people heat their homes and is boosting construction of power-hungry AI data centers.
