Latest news about Twitter API pricing indicate a MINIMUM 42 000$/MONTH! As a not for profit NGO there is NO way we could possibly such a huge fee. In this case after 11 years, @LastQuake will have to stop. Please support us and RT to #saveLastQuake

California is planning to shut down its last nuclear plant soon. From a carbon-free electricity standpoint, this is the equivalent of tearing down every wind turbine in the state, or half of our solar panels. From a new article by my colleague @_A_Stein_: thebreakthrough.org/blog/tre…

The problem is not you being uneducated.
The problem is that you are educated just enough to believe what you have been taught, and not educated enough to question anything from what you have been taught. 🧠

If you are serious about wanting to improve education, do not vote more money for the education establishment that has been dumbing down the schools for years. Vote for vouchers, tax credits, or anything else that will transfer decision-making power to parents.

California has already experienced a significant increase in the number of wildfires and acres burned compared to this time last year. With this rise in fire activity, now more than ever it's critical that all Californians are prepared for wildfires. ReadyForWildfire.org.

成都49中的事看了让人很痛心压抑，这不是第一起也不会是最后一起校园谋杀案。有人问国外有什么好？
国外的好就是不会出现类似这样的事情，中国真的不是一个正常的人类社会，烂透了。有责任感的家长还是要带孩子离开中国，是最好的选择没有之一。灾难虽然没降临在我们头上，但敲响了警钟，表犹豫快跑！

If Redditors rallying GameStop is unacceptable market manipulation, what would you call it when greedy Wall Street bankers gambled away our entire economy in 2008 and faced no consequences?

There is a lot of Twitter chatter surrounding a rumor that circulation of #COVID19 in California in fall 2019 has resulted in herd immunity. This is empirically not the case. COVID-19 was first introduced into the USA in Jan/Feb 2020. 1/18

Chairman @RepEliotEngel: I applaud @iingwen’s response to baseless claims that Taiwan is fueling racist attacks against @DrTedros. I encourage him to check out #Taiwan’s record—despite its exclusion—so we can collectively advance @WHO’s critical global health work.
Taiwan opposes all forms of discrimination. I want to take this opportunity to invite @WHO Director-General @DrTedros to visit Taiwan & experience for himself how committed the Taiwanese people are to engaging with the world & combating #COVID19. Statement:shorturl.at/fDI19

This is a terrible response from the @WHO. First he disingenuously pretends he didn’t hear the question, then the reporter offers to repeat it and Bruce Aylward says let’s move on to another, then hangs up & dodges the issue again. At least be honest about the #Taiwan situation.
‼️WOW‼️ Bruce Aylward/@WHO did an interview with HK's @rthk_news & when asked about #Taiwan he pretended not to hear the question. The journalist asks again & he hangs up!
She calls back & he said "Well, we've already talked about China."
ENJOY+SHARE THE MADNESS! #CoronaVirus

I don't know how many people (Acela Corridor types) need to hear this but the WHO is just a branch of the CCP
