As a former journalist and a researcher of the relationship between #news and #socialmedia, I think I understand both sides of the argument over whether tonight's presidential address should be carried live. A few thoughts. #Thread
It's important to look at the decision in itself. Even if you think it violates precedent, and therefore is hypocritical, it may be that the previous decisions were the wrong ones and shouldn't be repeated.
For example, if I used to throw my trash out the car window, arguing that it kept prisoners busy doing litter pickup, that's clearly stupid. If I now know it's dumb and stop doing it, that is a greater good than my being consistent by still doing it.

We need to talk about this. Because calling a procession of desperate parents & starving babies "an army" is far from the only thing the media is getting wrong. We need to call them what they are: climate refugees. apnews.com/b709e05ec83c49…
It is hidden in plain sight in each of these articles but never directly acknowledged: What they're fleeing. Hunger. Rising food prices. Not being able to feed their children. And violence, which we know is often fueled by social instability. Like sudden rises in food prices.
Rises in food prices are being driven by an increase in severe droughts. Droughts that are getting worse and turning what were once functional farms in the countryside into desert areas and driving rural people to cities where poverty & hunger & street violence intensify.

This is monstrous. I'm going to respond to this thread with a list of trans advocacy groups you can support and donate to. Please add some of your own if you know of good ones. Thanks!
Everyone should respond to the UK Government's consultation on their Gender Recognition Act reform. Answering the questions listed here doesn't take long, and voicing your advocacy for trans rights is vital stonewall.org.uk/our-work/campa…
The Trans Lifeline runs the country's only peer-support crisis hotline staffed entirely by transgender people. You can donate to it here: translifeline.org/donate

The window for commenting on the new EPA rule on asbestos closes TODAY at 11:59 PM ET.

Please make sure you comment. 👇🏻
Two important notes: internal EPA staff objected to the rule, as revealed by the @nytimes today.

This somewhat counters the EPA's public narrative that this rule helps more than harms.

Also, here's a link to the internal emails. They're definitely worth a read.
