Fossil fuels and deforestation are driving climate change. But clean energy investment, stronger pollution rules, and zero-deforestation commitments across both public and private sectors will make the difference. More from @mattsedlar.bsky.social: https://bit.ly/4nXTbP8

Private sector union membership has collapsed — from 16.5% in 1985 to just 5.9% today. That's barely a third of what it was. West Virginia, Indiana, and Michigan were hit hardest. Workers have been losing power for 40 years. More from @hcbrown.bsky.social: https://bit.ly/4rmZKL5

"For more than 200 years, the U.S. has used the Monroe Doctrine to justify a paternalistic, violent, and damaging approach to relations with our neighbors in Latin America and in the Caribbean." -  @ramirez.house.gov calling to bury the Monroe Doctrine today in Congress.

New CEPR data: Union membership in the US fell from 18% to 10% since 1985—nearly cut in half. Every state but VT saw declines. Trump is accelerating the attack on workers, but this 40-year erosion started long before him. More from @hcbrown.bsky.social: https://bit.ly/4rmZKL5
