My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

The brilliant Donella Meadows - mother of systems thinking - is a hero to me, so it was an unmissable opportunity to talk about her life and work on @BBCRadio4 Great Lives. You can catch it here. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001pt9… #ecologicaleconomics #systemsthinking @bethsawin

A searing indictment of an #economics that advocates economic growth as the solution for every problem created by economic growth. If you know a young person contemplating a career in economics, save their soul. Give them this book. islandpress.org/books/progre…

The Government™ has made an ad about Net Zero by 2050, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Resign and leave your office. Or meet with Pence to invoke the 25th amendment.
Today. Now.

We must #ImpeachTrumpNow & remove him. I’ve sent a letter, with @JamaalBowmanNY, @CoriBush, @AOC, @IlhanMN, & @AyannaPressley, to Congressional leadership calling on them to reconvene & take immediate action to get Trump out of the White House. We cannot afford to wait.

We need a national mobilization of the industrial base in this country. That's how we won WWII.
To get that, we need a president to lead.
Washingtonians' lives depend on it. thedailybeast.com/trump-i-do…

We bailed out Wall Street in 2008
...nothing trickled down
We gave corporations a $2 trillion tax cut in 2017
...nothing trickled down
We just handed corporations a $500 billion blank check during a national emergency
...nothing will trickle down
We’ve seen this all before.

The Democratic establishment is wrong to think @BernieSanders is too progressive to win a general election. He's the Democrats’ best shot at taking back the White House.
Share this with all the Bernie skeptics you know before #SuperTuesday:

Moving toward an #EcologicalCivilization requires ending global poverty. A popular narrative now suggests that, thanks to capitalism, this is happening. But is it true? Not according to @jasonhickel: "It’s a powerful narrative. And it’s completely wrong."

Corporate taxes paid as a share of the whole economy are at an historic low, while corporate profits after taxes are at an historic high.
