Confused by the media frenzy around the #GreenNewDeal?

Here’s the real tea.

harvardpolitics.com/united-states/…

- WHAT?

“The GND would address four systemic national crises: skyrocketing inequality, deepening structural racism, catastrophic climate change, and the takeover of American democracy by the ultra-rich and corporations.”

- HOW?

“This effort entails using American industry to produce new carbon-neutral and renewable energy infrastructure while providing workers with higher wages and benefits.”

- WHY?

“The IPCC report that warns we only have 11 years left now to solve climate change also says that we can solve it...this is a real ‘make or break’ moment for our climate right now.”

Jump aboard the #Road2GND tour and join the fight for a future rooted in justice:

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.

#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.

#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

At last set up for Day 6 of the #HarvardTrial, where @RickKahlenberg of the left-leaning @TCFdotorg is on the stand. Kahlenberg has argued for @Fair_Admissions that Harvard could achieve real diversity without considering race in admissions: …2i553a2t1s05i-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/upl…

Kahlenberg says he considers it extremely important for a college like Harvard to promote diversity—of all kinds. He adds: "the socioeconomic diversity at Harvard is deeply lacking... Raj Chetty found that there have been 23 times as many rich kids on campus as poor kids."

You can look at some of what Raj Chetty (formerly a Harvard economist) found out about Harvard's economic effects in this well-designed #infoviz from @UpshotNYT: nytimes.com/interactive/pr…

At dinner, I learned more about corruption + racism built into society by our masters. A book we discussed (Zinn) was used as part of this "Left" resource's bibliography. I had to share. [A thread]

@BlackSocialists - thoughts on this resource?

historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html

It very simply lays out the case that we are all being controlled. It covers hidden history of the United States including their (and, due to the systems created by our masters, our) racism.

If you haven't been in school for a while (or are in a terrible school), some of the words might trip you up. Dictionary.com and Wikipedia.org are two good resources to help you.
