1/ So much respect/love for what these monks are doing. I’ve done some long distance hikes and walks, and what they are doing is TOUGH. Over 19 miles/day for 120 days on asphalt and gravel shoulders, which is harder on your feet and legs than dirt tread.

Today, I'd like to remember Chairman Fred Hampton. He was 21 years old when he was murdered in his bed by the Chicago Police and FBI. But in his 21 years, he built a blueprint for (Black and working class) liberation that still guides us till this day.

This is a thread for him. 🖤🧵

The 1 year data is in. It works!
Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…

* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M

So YES this has been a huge success.

A man’s pet fish couldn’t swim due to its illness/disability.

So he made him a swimming harness.

He created an accommodation so his fish could live his best life.

This is how it’s done!

When you pay with cash and the cashier hands you your change bills first and puts the coins on top of the bills so they slide around and fall off.

Capitalism survives by making you angry at the wrong people. They teach us to resent the poor for needing help, while applauding the rich for taking everything.

The freeloaders aren’t on welfare, they’re on yachts.

Looking for the truth about what it was like inside CECOT?

Earlier this year, we spoke to the men the Trump administration deported to El Salvador. Hear about what they endured, in their own words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8INs141xeQ

This is my cyclical reminder that there's really only one consistently reliable source of info in the public record that isn't owned by right wing billionaires, who really want to put an end to it.

Please give at least the $2.75 minimum they request if you can.

I couldn’t agree with this more. They may be friends, family, neighbors, or colleagues. It may be difficult. But they need to be rejected by a decent, functioning society.
Donald Trump is objectively one of the worst humans to have ever poisoned the planet.

Good people don't support him.

They simply don't.

His supporters need to be rejected by decent human beings.

Because it’s not getting reported on enough:

Muslim fruit shop owner Ahmed al Ahmed, father of two, was the hero who bravely tackled one of the Bondi Beach shooters and took away his gun.

He saved lives during a major terror attack. Say his name, and honor the lives of the victims of the shooters

“Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6km each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, annual carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes.

This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.” @euronews.com
Cycling like the Dutch would slash the world’s carbon footprint
If everybody cycled like the Dutch, we could offset the UK or Australia’s entire carbon footprint.
