870 out of 1201 (72%) surveyed Americans support ramping down harmful/unnecessary production/consumption, taxing the rich, universal basic services and guaranteed jobs, democratizing business, and ending exploitation of disadvantaged countries. As long as nobody gave a name to those policies!
I'm excited to announce this new study, published in The Lancet Planetary Health, which explores public support for degrowth and ecosocialist transformation. The findings are quite surprising.

I’m 56 years old, and for my whole life we’ve been asking some version of the question “what would WE, our generation, have done to stop the Nazis, either in Germany as they were rising, or around the world to fight for freedom.

This is the argument behind that concluding howl by the way. That action to tackle the cost of living is long term and has to be done in advance, and so does not fit neatly into electoral cycles

Seeing this, I looked-up what the Scouts are doing. They're still very clearly trans inclusive, with a great story for Trans Day or Remembrance.

It's great that Scouts are still trans inclusive. But also SIGH.

What should be the focus of the next ten years of climate action?

Al Gore told me we should start with a focus on re-establishing our ability as humans on a planet floating in empty space to reason together.

In the face of AI, that's a big and worthy challenge.
