Thread.
A new stream on an unfortunate topic: battlefield deaths & casualties.
Last night, @ErinBurnett on @CNN asked me why it seemed the casualty rates on the RU side were so high.
I didn't want to talk "body counts," as the numbers differ depending on who is reporting. 1/25

Important thread--Congress may finally investigate the decades of fossil fuel lies, and the paid liars they employed. Thank you @RoKhanna
.@RoKhanna is the chair of a House subcommittee that is launching a comprehensive investigation into fossil fuel front groups and PR.
He recorded this message about their plans so you know what to expect with regards to the subcommittee’s upcoming work:

36 hours. 500 land defenders. Immeasurable bravery.
Last week, hundreds of land defenders took personal risk & shut down a central, active Enbridge worksite in Minnesota. It was the largest #StopLine3 non-violent direct action to date, with nearly 200 arrested.

My kids don’t understand why I work on anything other than climate change.
Why does anything else matter if you don’t fix this, they wonder.

Three things everyone must understand about climate breakdown: it's irreversible, it's getting worse, and the main way to minimize damage is to end fossil fuel.

Experiencing all this flooding in NYC right now and thinking about all the politicians who told me that pursuing a Green New Deal to adapt our nat’l infrastructure to climate change is “unrealistic” & “too expensive.”
As if doing too little is the responsible, adult thing to do?

You know what’s more radical than abolishing the filibuster? Watching voting rights and the right to choose get eviscerated — and doing absolutely nothing to stop it.

Imagine still blaming Susan Sarandon, Jill Stein, Ralph Nader, and Bernie Sanders when Democrats control the entire government and aren’t using their majority to pass a living wage or make health care and housing a human right.

Retweet if you think Biden must shut down the Line 3 tar sands pipeline immediately as part of an emergency climate response

Yep. Facts on the ground vs. what? I’m not sure what created the early media frenzy. Boredom? Eagerness to prove independence? Distrust of competence in government? Short memories? Honestly curious about it. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

When the operating principle that guides public policy becomes serving the people and serving the planet as exposed to exploiting the people and exploiting the planet, the miracles that follow will stun us all.

Anyone else just feel so damn depressed that despite all the science, warnings, good people's efforts, we're still hurtling headlong towards planetary scale disaster - with this hardly even on the radar of decision-makers or in the everyday? There's times I just can't bear it.

Calling out corrupt warmongering Democrats like @BarackObama and @HillaryClinton to their face on a debate stage is courageous, not “theatrical.” Rest in peace Mike Gravel.

Jane and I are saddened by the passing of Sen. Mike Gravel. He was dedicated to ending forever wars and bringing more Americans into the political process. His courage will be deeply missed. Our thoughts are with his loved ones.

Folks please realize that this is not a "new normal," it is only the early stages of climate breakdown which is a steady progression following inexorably the laws of physics. Only way out: leave fossil fuels
Jim Thompson retweeted
The thawing of the rivers means that Enbridge can begin drilling under the rivers. It’s more important than ever for people to come to the frontlines and help #StopLine3.

No one will silence our movement that demands justice for #BreonnaTaylor.
This night one year ago was #BreonnaTaylor’s last time going to bed.
She went to bed with dreams for her life. She went to bed with goals for her career. She went to bed with love in her heart.
She went to bed assuming she would wake up the next morning, like every other day.
