Jackson was the only US politician to inspire me as a British Columbian teenager. But he arrived on the scene long after Neoliberalism had sunk its teeth into America. Too little. Too late. Made me grateful that BC had a real left wing movement to oppose Neoliberalism.
"He really didn't lose those two elections," Bishop William Barber says of Jesse Jackson's presidential bids in 1984 and 1988.
"He brought 10 million new people into the electorate. He changed rules in the Democratic Party. He lifted up an agenda for people who weren't even hearing their names."

lol, it’s a lot easier to form a tenants union when everyone in the building is in the same group chat
MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @governorwalz.mn.gov fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, this would be the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.

South Australia is the perfect scenario for renewable energy: lots of sun and wind, population mostly in urban areas, policy is smart. The result:
"(Electric rates are)2 .6 US cents per kilowatt hour. The average cost of electricity in the United States is roughly 17 cents per kilowatt hour"

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings
The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.
