Hello!
Welcome back to The Ledger. Congratulations to any of you in Puerto Rico on your recent success kicking out your governor. I’d love to hear some of your experiences if you email me at LeeCampLedger@protonmail.com.
Puerto Rico’s victory goes in the “good news” category. In the “bad news” bucket is the Arctic on fire, Europe still baking, and our politicians still owned by billionaires.
We need action.
We need true resistance.
We need an anti-capitalist Green New Deal that strikes at the heart of industrialism.
If you still need to be convinced that we need action NOW I’d like to recommend Naomi Klein’s book This Changes Everything: Capitalism Vs. The Climate.
People living in poverty need you now. The rich have their own plans to survive climate change - they don’t care about us. We need to care about each other.

The Democrats and the corporate media will breathlessly tell you how Donald Trump is a racist (he is). They’ll relay the gut-wrenching horror of having your family ripped apart by Border Patrol (I’m sure it is). They’ll let you know that keeping children in cages is not what America stands for and not who we are (it kinda is). But despite all of this, they practically never tell everyone how to actually fight back against ICE raids and Border Patrol detentions.
