Today I’m recommending that NYC’s pension fund boards drop BlackRock and 2 other (out of 49) public markets asset managers due to inadequate decarbonization plans.

Climate risk is financial risk – we need asset managers who will invest responsibly.🧵

Renewables routinely generate more than half of U.K electricity.

They also generate thousands of jobs, reduce our exposure to volatile gas prices, and allow us to stick two fingers up to fossil-fueled dictators.

Leadership is knowing the way, showing the way, AND going the way…🇬🇧♻️⚡️👷👩‍🔧

There is no more important job for a parent than protecting their children. The rage I have for people letting their babies die from whooping cough to lean into conspiracy and stupidity. Enough already.

A point of clarity: Women are experiencing job declines in professional and business services, federal workforce, and manufacturing.

Without disaggregated data, we don't really know if Black women are bearing the brunt of that, but one can guess.

Bruh! The acp — the american communist party (maga communists) is so cringe. I hate having these freaks coming up in discourse and misrepresenting Marxists. Like, this is obviously the least significant criticism, but jfc, they make communists look like dweebs who will probably sexually harass you.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Capitalism requires that we (working class people) "earn a living", which implies that we actually don't deserve to live unless we "earn" it by letting our surplus values be exploited by the capitalist ruling class. And this is all while having more than enough food, housing, etc., for everyone!
