Roses are red 🌹 Pulses are leguminous 🫘 They produce 20 times more protein per hectare 🏞️ Compared to meat that comes from ruminants 🐮

Three cheers for the sources that give great quotes. And also for @mollytaft.com @wired.com. Link to story below

While others are stepping back on climate, Project Drawdown is stepping up! We’re proud to announce the Climate Science Serving America Fellowship to support U.S.-based Ph.D.-level scientists & engineers focused on climate solutions for the public good. drawdown.org/news/project...

big thanks to @michaelemann.bsky.social who gave me some crucial context/commentary on the way 'climate change' is talked about in Epstein's emails www.fastcompany.com/91490280/eps...

she somehow managed to lie about the very intentional racism in the video AND the animals present in Lion King

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent. Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

If the Epstein files are this vile and incriminating already, just imagine all the stuff they’re still hiding.

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

“It’s cold outside where I live today, therefore climate change doesn’t exist” is like saying “I had breakfast this morning, therefore hunger doesn’t exist”

As an immigrant and an American, I stand with the people of Minneapolis on strike today. You can’t terrorize a city and expect business as usual.

Ugh. Is the Administration illegally undermining climate work in America…? www.edf.org/media/newly-...

"The outrageous seizure" of @hannahnatanson.bsky.social's records "chills speech, cripples reporting, and inflicts irreparable harm." Anything less than immediate return "would license future newsroom raids and normalize censorship by search warrant" www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Methane has driven about one-third of warming to date 🔥 and is far more potent than CO₂ in the short term. Learn about solutions in latest Insights piece from Emily Cassidy, Research Associate and Paul West, Senior Scientist: https://bit.ly/3NqBEkx @enviroem.bsky.social @paul-west.bsky.social

We lost two neighbors today to ICE abductions. The kids are off school tomorrow but we'll be at a different elementary school packing boxes for families too afraid to leave their homes. We are more organized each day and we won't stop until these assholes leave.

While countries are making progress at measuring & mitigating methane from fossil fuels, we need to increase our efforts in curbing methane from livestock, rice, & food waste. @paul-west.bsky.social and I explain in our latest article @projectdrawdown.bsky.social drawdown.org/insights/we-...

Q: Americans for generations have fought and died for democracy. Are you saying the president finds the idea of canceling elections funny? LEAVITT: Where you in the room? Only someone like you would take that so seriously

Video message from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KckG... www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/s...

“If Americans increased their protein intake by just 25%…it would require about 100 million acres of additional ag land each year — an area larger than Michigan, Ohio & Pennsylvania combined — & increase annual emissions by 100s of millions of tons of CO2e, according to @worldresources.bsky.social.”

Weird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Does he know we can see the clip too

Any good threads/explainers out there on the new US dietary guidelines from actual nutrition experts?

Oh, I should have known. “A group of researchers that formed the scientific basis of new dietary guidelines included people with financial ties to the beef and dairy industries, as well as food companies and other groups. Meat and dairy products received prime placement in new dietary advice”

"The New Pyramid" for the U.S. dietary guidelines is... upside down? And the "Scientific Foundation" looks like something from Cards Against Humanity. Checks out. realfood.gov

Mayo Clinic: "Contrary to all the hype that everyone needs more protein, most people in the U.S. meet or exceed their needs." New US Dietary Guidelines: "Prioritize Protein" and "Consume Dairy" (3 servings of dairy a day?!) Did the beef and dairy lobby write this? 👀 cdn.realfood.gov/DGA.pdf

Instead of seeking congressional authorization for his military strike, Trump left Congress in the dark but tipped off OIL COMPANIES before he bombed Venezuela. He's not trying to hide that he only cares about the interests of corporations & billionaires. This isn't a democracy, it's an oligarchy.

Unbelievable. The National Weather Service issued a wind warning supported by a hazard map showing places that **do not exist***.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Found inspiration in Stephen Colbert's acceptance speech @kennedyhrc.bsky.social a few days ago: “While few can change history, everyone has the opportunity and the obligation to push back on the temptation to despair. Because despair is very seductive...” youtu.be/Wi3t7OVDEXE?...

Authoritarianism does not tolerate genuine federalism.

Not sharing that grotesque Time Person of the Year cover, but as always, there’s a dril tweet

Pssst… Cows *do* contribute to climate change. But that's not the only reason to cut back on beef consumption as a country. How about our health, our water, our land, etc., etc.

How did we end up with a media ecosystem that constantly echoes misleading & scientifically unfounded political 'false-choice' framing between climate action and economic security, from industry talking points? Any ecological economists out there who can talk to me about this on Thursday morning?

If this were your dad, you’d be texting the siblings: “We need to talk.”

"We did not see enough discussion about livestock or meat production in particular, or even diets in general. So I think this is a pretty big missed opportunity." Dan Jasper, Sr Policy Advisor https://bit.ly/4afp4Oc @sentientmedia.org

And Project Drawdown ran a "Deep Dive" on food loss & waste for investors, philanthropists, and business leaders. It points to numerous opportunities to scale these crucial climate solutions. drawdown.org/programs/dra...

A private call between Trump-appointed envoy Steve Witkoff and Putin advisor Yuri Ushakov was just leaked — and it shows the American envoy effectively acting as a strategist for Moscow.

Heartbreaking essay on Tatiana Schlossberg's terminal cancer diagnosis. During Schlossberg's treatment, she learns one of her chemo drugs, cytarabine, owes its existence to an ocean animal: a sponge that lives in the Caribbean Sea.

Shifting away from fossil fuels & fossil-based materials, to biofuels & biomaterials, means reducing one important source of GHG emissions (fossil fuels) but potentially increasing another (land-use change, driven by increased land demand). It’s essential to account for both sides of this equation.
