@BenHoare plenty of propaganda in US, too, about heat pump efficiency in US Midwest where winter cold is as low as Nordic countries. Biden administration’s Infrastructure legislation (the replacement for a more thorough Green New Deal), however, includes rebates for heat pumps to encourage them throughout the country. #heatpumps #fossilfuel #GreenNewDeal #Biden #oil #capitalism #propaganda

@raymondpert Obama could have nationalized the industry during the bailout of early post “Great Recession.” Now workers have to make the struggle theirs to increase workplace democracy. Could also explore opportunities to diversify production, extending into alternative energy mass transportation manufacturing. #uaw #greennewdeal #labor #laborpower #workplacedemocracy

"[Oil and gas extraction] workers face elevated fatal occupational injury rates that are historically seven times higher than for all U.S. workers," the report said.

The facts keep piling up. Oil and gas is NOT SAFE for workers, for our health, for the environment, and has been an economic bust when it comes to jobs.

We need to halt new fossil projects and work for a rapid just transition for workers with an #Ecosocialist #GreenNewDeal.

#HammerandHope

A magazine of Black politics and culture

Hammer & Hope is a new magazine of Black politics and culture. It is a project rooted in the power of solidarity, the spirit of struggle and the generative power of debate, all of which are vital parts of our movement toward freedom.

We are inspired by the courageous #BlackCommunists in Alabama whose lives and struggles to organize against capitalism and white supremacist terror in the 1930s and 1940s are memorialized in Robin D. G. Kelley’s book “Hammer and Hoe,” from which we take our name.

We will envision collectively what a better future might look like and the strategies that could get us there. Such an undertaking compels us to deepen our knowledge of history, politics, culture and our own movements.

Our aim is to build a project whose politics and aesthetics reflects the electric spirit of the protesters who flooded the streets in 2020, a project that breathes life into the transformative ideas pointing us towards the world we deserve.

Come join us. We have a world to win.

Take the time to read this.

“The climate crisis may be an existential threat, but millions of people are weathering tiny apocalypses. What’s a little more heat when you’re already going through hell?”

Just emailed my Senators and Congressman to demand they stop wasting time with waging silly culture wars and instead get serious about meaningful reductions in carbon emissions.

@bernd_riexinger war von 2012 bis 2021 zusammen mit @KatjaKipping Vorsitzender von 'Die Linke'. Das war wohl die beste Zeit der Partei. Beide haben mit Ihren Entwürfen eines #GreenNewDeal programmatisch vorgelegt. Daran sollte 'Die Linke' politisch anknüpfen.

Do people ever consider that there are not enough minerals even for making one generation of technology for the energy transition?

But that's the thing... the "wedding" already happened, in 2009, when ACES was written, and in 2022, when IRA was signed into law. The "Green New Deal" is irrelevant to this process.

I think it's very instructive for everyone to look at what real environmental legislation looks like:

ACES (pick any section): https://www.congress.gov/bill/111th-congress/house-bill/2454/text

IRA (jump to Title VI): https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/5376/text
