    Early review of The People's Republic of Walmart from : "It's an audacious and exciting vision, an excellent companion to other books like Four Futures, the kind of thing with the power to start a new movement. Highly recommended."

    Shameful to see prop up an unelected figure and seek to legitimize a deeply divisive and undemocratic agenda. This visit is the opposite of supporting peace and democracy.

    On Monday, I’ll meet with , the Interim President of Venezuela. We’ll talk about the importance of democracy & the need for a peaceful, Venezuelan-led transition toward free & fair elections as soon as possible. More on his visit to Ottawa:

    Jane Goodall @ Davos: "All these [environmental] things we talk about wouldn’t be a problem if there was the size of population that there was 500 years ago.” The world population 500 years ago is estimated btwn 420 and 540 million — 6.7 billion fewer people than today.

    I can't be in Iowa tonight. But just showed Iowa City the power of fighting for someone you don't know.

    As a union organizer, I organized 100s of homophobic workers, some who didn’t believe in my existence Why? Bc the nonhomophobic workers needed a majoritity to win a union & the workers being in a progressive union was a better way to combat homophobia than me not organizing them

    This is a rally without Bernie, when your campaign is a movement you dont even need the candidate

    IOWA CITY - significant turnout for , , , as they stump for Sen. . Sanders isn’t even here - he’s in DC. Fire marshall says max capacity is 870. Building staff says 822 are in attendance. Crowd skews younger - we’re on campus.

    Truly inspired by this campaign that is centred on people and the pursuit of justice. A campaign that isn’t about one person but about people building a movement for fundamental change.

    This campaign is not just about me. It is about building a movement of human solidarity and saying that when one of us hurts, all of us hurt.

    This is highly significant and promising. As a counterpoint, I'm reminded of when the NHS was being established in the UK in the 1940s and key British Medical Association figures literally compared Nye Bevan, the first Minister of Health, to Hitler.

    The second largest group of doctors in America has endorsed Medicare for All. Seeing the American College of Physicians endorse single payer was never something I would have dreamed of when I worked for health insurers. Shows how far we've come:

    It’s a problem when political parties merely see their role as playing to what they perceive as public opinion, but take no responsibility for shifting public opinion or helping create the conditions for civil society to shape public opinion.

    Why did so many countries, from Sweden to Botswana, privatize their telecommunication infrastructures in the 1990s? It's not an illusion: blame it on the OECD and WTO...(Another great paper in the tech edition of this week...)
