Yesterday at a teach-in for the GND for Public Housing Act, I talked about green public housing (retrofits + new construction) winning top architecture prizes in France + UK

@AOC jumped up to emphasize: this is real, we can have this!

Today this story

@AOC Don't stop there: On Bordeaux's European prize-winning public housing green retrofit

A Channel 4 documentary on one of Vienna's more recent public housing complexes, a green complex of wonders including indoor and outdoor pools and ceramics classes

And the Vienna precedent for a Green New Deal for public housing in US. In Vienna, temples of public luxury are built in every neighborhood. The initial wave was so successful in 1920s-30s that today 1/3 of city housing is public, 1/3 co-op, 1/3 private

We're going to win a Green #HomesGuarantee

So pleased to share research + polling on how popular green retrofits are in rural US, how much public housing is in Iowa, and how @AOC and @BernieSanders's GND for public housing would revitalize efficient, modern appliance manufacture in that state

What would a Green New Deal for NYCHA look like?
Sorely needed maintenance, energy retrofits, climate proofing, and good quality jobs for residents, for starters.

@DianaBudds' headline and kicker say it all. And thanks for quotes on just how brilliantly this policy connects dots
@DianaBudds And thanks for including my history take. I've been thinking a lot lately about the public housing road not taken in the New Deal. NYC had already developed beautiful non-market housing forms, and housing advocates like Gail Radford were touring Red Vienna and German cities
Lots of great material on this in this Gail Radford book

It’s happening. Today @AOC and @BernieSanders are launching the Green New Deal for Public Housing Act. It’s good.

Over at @DataProgress we researched the bill, our first big collab w @SC2_Collab and @McHargCenter. It would slash carbon and inequality

huffpost.com/entry/bernie-s…
I’m thrilled to be quoted in this piece trying to grapple w how great green investment in public housing could be in US: “Who knows what Americans will contribute by really taking public housing seriously, by investing in it seriously, and by making it green and healthy and safe”
Also thank you @AlexCKaufman for going deep on how successful NYCHA’s last foray into green industrial policy was. Public housing has led on green innovation before, and it could do even more in the decade ahead

1. At a glance. The real reason for the climate strikes, Green New Deal(s) (as the Trojan horse for the New Deal For Nature) – all being unveiled as the necessary solutions for our collective survival - lies bare for all to see in the links below. #GND #NewDealForNature
2. The aforementioned "solutions", presented in tandem w/ the climate emergency campaign unleashed last fall, swiftly inundating our collective psyches – have been brought to you by the ruling class (World Bank, WEF, European Commission, etc.) & the NGOs that serve capital.
3. This is nothing to do with concern over the climate nor the environment. This is about propelling economic growth (by any and every means necessary) – to save (then expand) the capitalist economic system that is failing - and nothing more.

The map of Syria
Turkish President #Erdogan will meet with his Russian counterpart on January 23 to discuss the future of the Syrian east and the city of Manbij. This comes after a telephone conversation between Erdogan and #Trump before yesterday.1/12
#Syria #Turkey #USA #Russia
With the scrutiny of the Turkish, American, Kurdish and Russian military movements in the Syrian east and its surroundings, it is now possible to develop a scenario that will be closest to what will be the map of the Syrian East.2/12
#Syria #Turkey #USA #Russia #Iran #Israel
In a secret visit to #Ankara a few days ago, a Syrian delegation led by Ahmed al-#Jarba, a leader of a military group of Arabs supported by the International Coalition and #Washington, arrived from the areas of #SDF.3/12

#BreakingNews:
@realDonaldTrump announced the #USA revokes #IranNuclearDeal.

#Iran will follow & is expected to deny any access to #IAEA inspectors to any nuclear facility in the country and re-open closed nuclear facilities.
Iran will never renounce on its missile development.
The @realDonaldTrump will sign in few moments (as he said) more sanctions on #Iran as #USA withdraw from the #IranNuclearDeal

#Iran has prepared for this day its financial and business backup in other countries but will be affected by #USA decision.

#Russia is also expected to take a position in relation to @realDonaldTrump withdrawal from the #IranNuclearDeal

At 3:55 PM (EEST), #USA - #France - #UK start their tripple aggression on #Syria|n Arab Republic by launching 103 missiles from sea & air, most of them (71 missiles) were shot down by #Syria|n Arab Air Defense units. (14 April 2018)
One building of 1st official target (map) was hit & damaged by hostile missiles from Triple Aggressors (#USA - #UK - #France).

#Syria|n Arab Air Defense units successfully jammed away hostile missiles from rest of official targets in #Homs countryside. (14 April 2018)
There is no truth to enemy media that claim #Syria|n Republican Guard base (104th or 105th Brigade) on Mt #Qasioun was hit by hostile missiles from Tripple Aggressors (#UK - #USA - #France).

Greetings from #SRG soldiers that confirm everything is fine at that base. #DAMASCUS
