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
Is it too crass to hope Jordan Love has a big game and doesn't relinquish the starting Packers QB job for years?

Hmmm. I use "folks" every once in a while and I definitely feel like a "folks-person." But maybe I'm not really in close touch with my feelings...

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…
President Biden has immense power to combat the climate crisis — but he's not using much of it. Join me and tell President Biden to reign in Wall Street's disastrous investing. nwmd.io/s/twitter/YR81ADLEHP…
