Week 256. We are currently shattering heat records all over the world. Last week we experienced the hottest days ever recorded, many days in a row. We are also experiencing record high sea level temperatures and record low ice levels. This is an emergency. #FridaysForFuture

We're talking about nearly a half billion fellow humans dealing with unprecedented heat
NE China is living the harshest heat wave in its history by far. Beijing and Tianjin had 3 consecutive days >40C, before they never had 2 consecutive 40C. Mongolia highlands again above 38C. Records fall by dozens every day and it will get worse. Weeks of record heat is ahead.

Nope! Now we have new toxins to breathe as wildfires increasingly blaze through suburbs, they’re burning up the synthetic paints, carpets, and consumer goods that fill homes. In California’s historic 2018 fires, 19,000 homes burned. via@NatGeo
My twitter replies today are almost entirely guys with 11 followers explaining to me that the smoke is the result of eco-arsonists setting forests ablaze, and anyway it's always been like this, and also I'm a 'climtard.' There are moments when Idiocracy seems like a documentary.

The @Citibank HQ is enshrouded by smoke from burning forests torched by climate change. In the 7 years since the Paris climate agreement, Citi pumped $333 billion into coal, oil & gas. The bank should stop financing our destruction. Stop all new fossil fuel expansion NOW.

I’ve been feeling the zeitgeist of this moment in the world and what is happening to/for all of us. @Rgay nails it: “We were seeing skin that had thinned to nothing.”

The rest of the world? They/we were/are Yes Look Down addicts irrevocably lost in deep portals of little screens in their hands connected to their brains in attempt to find what may be left of their/our hearts. #DontLookUp

Amazing…what it took and what it yielded. Our voices matter.
We won. On our 15th day of hunger strike, we got word that @NYTWA has reached an agreement with the City. This amazing news means our drivers can live a future free of the devastation of the debt crisis.

This is serious. Day 12 of a hunger strike for taxi drivers who are there for us every day while NYC has crippled their livelihood and devastated their families. Watch, learn, and talk about it! now. @kalpenn @JamesSchamus @laurapoitras @StephanieMBlack @ava @maddow
How did we get into the taxi medallion crisis? The City. And now it can help resolve that same crisis by working with @NYTWA to guarantee taxi medallion loans & give drivers a way out of life-long debt. I explain the origins of this crisis on @democracynow  👇
