The children striking over climate change speak to @NewScientist. #schoolstrike4climate #climatestrike bit.ly/2EbSaPf
School leaders and Education Secretary Damian Hinds have warned students they should not miss lessons to take part in the #climatestrike.

One child’s banner, “I’ll get back to class when you get your head out of your arse,” directly addressed this advice. bit.ly/2EbSaPf
Another protest sign featured a grotesque caricature of Theresa May with the slogan, “Soon there won’t BE a field to run through." bit.ly/2EbSaPf Reporting by @GrahamLawton

(Thread) Two years into the Trump presidency, the velocity of the news coming out of the White House has been chaotic—with hundreds of norm-shattering moments that would have been unimaginable under most previous presidents, Republican or Democratic. bit.ly/2AK4pAa
So ahead of the second anniversary of the president’s inauguration, we’re releasing 50 essays by 50 renowned writers cataloging the most unthinkable moments. The results that follow are a nuanced, in-depth index. #TrumpUnthinkable
50/ In early 2017, a bizarre photo of a glowing orb illuminated the Trump presidency for what it is: “unbelievable, almost otherworldly naffness,” writes James Parker. And Trump “is in his element.” bit.ly/2AJnPoW

1) We need a Lie tracker on Andrew Scheer, Doug Ford, & Jason Kenney

Those I follow who are excellent sources on the carbon tax are
@trevortombe @andrew_leach, @EcofiscalCanada @kevinmilligan

The rest of the thread is mostly ammunition against lies
#cdnpoli, #onpoli #ableg
2) Andrew Scheer begins new year with warning of skyrocketing carbon taxes

"The Liberal carbon tax is just about raising revenue for government."

LIAR: 90% of it goes back to Citizens. #cdnpoli

3) Trudeau’s carbon tax takes effect in industrial heartland

"Consumers in the holdout provinces will receive federal payments that will exceed their carbon tax bill in a bid to cushion the blow"

Dear Nigerian twitterati, I feel compelled to contribute to the intense debate concerning the value or stupidity of the Nigerian Home Grown School Feeding Program. I hope to lay out what I do know, based on some of the best available evidence.
There are fundamental concerns I cannot address. For example, I may not be able to convince you if you already believe that social welfare programs are evil or stupid. Also, If your preferred positions are guided by your politics, I may not also be able to help. That said . . .
We know from nationally representative surveys that more than 20% of Nigerian children are malnourished. In the Northeast and Northwest, the prevalence is as high as 50%. bit.ly/2qoldY6

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

National politics correspondent for Newsweek, Nina Burleigh, with a fun find on a TV above the bar at the Trump Hotel DC bit.ly/2E37QRR
Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
