    "As the head of a public policy research group, I’ve seen many well-intentioned public-private partnerships make climate progress more difficult. Banks, investors, and corporations have fundamentally different goals than the public." -

    It's clear the Liberals forgot they were elected to serve people - not to maximize profits for shareholders. We've seen time and time again how disastrous public-private partnerships can be when governments hand over responsibility to the private sector.

    If Russian leadership would rather not be accused of committing war crimes, they should stop bombing hospitals.

    Yup, never again can any football club or pundit play the “no politics in sport” card.

    Arsenal when it didn’t stand with Ozil on the Uighurs in 2019: “As a football club, Arsenal has always adhered to the principle of not involving itself in politics.”

    the u.s. backed the creation of an all powerful president in russia, kneecapping a unruly parliament hesitant to push through shock therapy and breakneck privatization

    One day, after Putin is gone, the most important thing will be to change the presidential system to parliamentary. The presidential system leads to the centralization of power in the hands of one person.

    As more broadband money continues to funnel to states, Big Telecom is mounting its opposition campaign to discourage publicly-owned networks. ILSR’s extensive research and documenting of publicly-owned networks clearly disputes their claims.

    Ludicrous. Another chapter in the decades old political effort to cripple the post office and grease the wheels for privatization.

    Holy hell. Sen. Toomey quietly slipped in an amendment to BAN postal banking into the Postal Service Reform Act. This includes money orders, which sells $21 BILLION worth of per year. We can’t let this happen. Call your Senator now!

    City Council just passed the public banking bill! The authority will seek a charter to establish the first municipal public bank in the U.S. Proud to stand with so many comrades who called Councilmembers, testified in support, and fought for this victory together ✊🏼

    City Council can make Philly the first city in the country to break the power of Wall Street by creating a public bank! 's bill passed out of committee, and would start that process if it passes a full vote from Council. Thread⬇️ 1/

    Last night, at the DC United game, they held a min of silence for Ukraine. Funny, I don’t remember a min of silence for the Palestinians when Israeli jets and artillery were pounding the Gaza Strip. I’m against the Russian invasion, but the rank hypocrisy of the US is galling.

    Remember when Israel was flattening tower blocks in Gaza and we were told nothing could be done about it, no sanctions, no arming the Palestinians? Strange that.
