🧑‍💻 teams to build digital platforms & services for public good

Me for @jacobinmag: jacobinmag.com/2020/04/united…
While we’re at it, we can #NationalizeAmazon and integrate its capabilities into #USPS to speed up its expansion:

This is the problem with the EV narrative. It assumes they’re clean and green just because you don’t pump their tanks full of gas.

They are better than gas and diesel vehicles, but they still have a massive impact as mining operations expand to supply minerals for batteries.
.@triofrancos has done a lot of great work specifically on lithium mining in South America, and how greater demand is fueling more mines that cause damage to local environments and communities.

Her latest is worth a read: logicmag.io/nature/what-gr…
I also wrote about the bigger picture, citing an @Earthworks report on how the demand for these metals will grow exponentially, the damage mines are already causing in the Global South, and how it will also get worse. link.medium.com/pD1T5DWIj2

I want to highly recommend “A Planet to Win” by @KateAronoff, @alybatt, @aldatweets, & @triofranco.

It’s a quick, approachable read that will expand your concept of what we can collectively achieve and how it would make life so much better.

Thread of some of my favorite parts:
Obama could have done so much more. The proposals were there, and he wouldn’t fight for them.

When Fox targeted Solyndra, no one noted how Tesla got billions from the same program.

(“A Planet to Win,” @VersoBooks)
When people say the rapid timelines for a Green New Deal aren’t possible, think back to the New Deal.

They build so much during that period!
