The Green New Deal

I’m feeling contradictory emotions around the Green New Deal. Hope, because momentum seems to be building for *something.* Apprehension, because it seems to ultimately rely on liberal nationalism. Pride, because I know people who know people involved. Apprehension, because I sense in Sunrise the same limitations I sense in IfNotNow. Excitement, because this could be what gets a left candidate elected president. Frustration, because it relies on a president at all. The hopeful surge of unfinishedness, of possibility, because of the unspoken specter that waits untouched: climate justice through decolonization.
