Let's follow Copenhagen's lead. Let's plant fruit trees on the commons. In every state. In every park. On every acre of state and federal land. #fruittrees
1 Oct 2023
#Copenhagen is planting fruit trees in streets so everyone can enjoy fresh fruit. In #Ottawa, fruit #trees are being planted to support local food banks. #Adelaide is considering a similar plan to help the homeless.
We have the solutions. Implement them.

Scott Hall was the first RICO defendant to flip today, pleading guilty to five counts of conspiracy to commit election interference.
He will not be the last.

This union bricklayer just perfectly summed up why everyone needs to support the UAW workers striking for better wages.
Make sure everyone sees it.

Big 3 automakers earn $20 BILLION in profitsāso far this year. @UAW demands that the riches produced off the backs of labor get their fair share. I agree.
#Solidarity #UAWStrike

Nearly 13,000 workers from 3 major automakers went on strike on September 15 following the expiration of contracts between the United Auto Workers (UAW) union and auto giants General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis.

Pay attention @JoeBiden @POTUS @WhiteHouse @DNC @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems
This is how you win: calling out the brutal, sociopathic greed that's done nothing but extract and extract from working Americans. Itās Time for Biden to Start Naming Names

The trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton just got underway.
Evidence thatās come to light suggests Paxton is guilty of a number of crimesāas corrupt as they come. Weāll see whether his fellow Republicans put truth and accountability ahead of political loyalty.

"You cannot make $21 billion in profits...and expect (workers) to take a mediocre contract.
Our campaign slogan is simple: record profits mean record contracts.ā
Big 3 Auto=$250 billion in 10 yrs. @UAW rightly demands profits trickle down.

Re Judge Chutkan's decision today to set a Trump trial date of March 4th, as I noted yesterday:
"We should thank Black women for doing what a bunch of white guys have failed to do for years: hold Donald Trump, hold a former president, accountable."

Of top 100 companies w/lowest median worker pay in 2022, 51 received...
Federal contracts totalling $24.1 BILLION (2020-2023)
And spent ~$160 BILLION buying back stocks same 36 months.
The problem w/America isn't people getting $271/month SNAP benefits or $600 checks.

The problem w/America is its rich & corporations cost too much. Rich & corps take too much; they are extractors, taking far more than they contribute.
Any company that buys back stocks must be disqualified from federal contracts & federal dollars.

Wells Fargo caught yet again for stealing from its clients. The penalty? Industry-captured @SECGov levied $35 million fine. Thatās like fining me 1 cent for stealing a million dollars.
Itās time to sharpen our pitchforks and begin the long-overdue class war. #EnoughIsEnough

Today we announced that Wells Fargo agreed to pay a $35 million civil penalty for overcharging advisory fees on more than 10,900 investment advisory accounts.

Today, I wrote a letter to @TheJusticeDept alongside my NJ colleagues calling on it to rescind its support for CoreCivic.
For-profit prison companies have repeatedly shown that they cannot or will not respect the basic human rights of undocumented immigrants.

Jerome Powell has signaled the Fed intends to keep raising interest rates.
Remember: Raising rates puts the burden of fighting inflation mostly on middle-class and low-wage workers and does nothing to address corporate price gouging.
