Over the past year, I've been having conversations with folks across the country about how we can rebuild our crumbling infrastructure so it is climate resilient & start to redesign cities for climate justice. I wanted to highlight some of the amazing examples out there. 🌳🏘️😊
1/ @landforcepgh in Pittsburgh is creating pathways to jobs via land conservation and green infrastructure:"Landforce seeks to provide avenues to family sustaining jobs that will allow community members to stay in their historical homes & neighborhoods."

2/ @Verde_NW in Portland serves the Latinx neighborhood of Cully, "Verde works on issues of anti-displacement, workforce development & ecological justice so achieving environmental wealth & community development is possible in one project.

3/ @ECNDetroit is kick-starting its Green Team, working to stop Detroit stormwater erosion, employing local Eastsiders, & reclaiming empty plots of land. "One of the main goals beyond green infrastructure is to provide Eastsiders good, equitable jobs."

4/ Dig Coop is a worker coop in Oakland implementing rainwater catchment systems in ever-drier California,"To care for people and distribute profits equitably, Dig established itself as a worker cooperative."

We can design enterprises based on climate justice & labor over capital. These social enterprises & worker coops are examples of the alternative economy and infrastructure we can build. It will take effort, but it is possible!

Thx to all who contributed to this research! 🌺🍃💦
Oh, and want to read the whole thing? Learn the potentials, but also what we need to do better to build out this new design for enterprise and infrastructure? Check it out here!

Thread: Commentary from Today’s Maria Bartiromo Show on FNC

1. With all that’s transpired over the last couple of weeks, I thought today would be a good day to convey some important commentary from Maria Bartiromo’s show. Here we go.
2. Her first guest: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
3. Bartiromo (“B”, henceforth) opens by commenting on @POTUS’s suggestion to send all illegals to sanctuary cities [LMAO] before introducing Graham (“G”, henceforth).

Over the past year, I’ve spoken with 20+ billionaires, from @BillGates to @WarrenBuffett, about America's future. Those insights to turned in the cover essay for the @Forbes Billionaires issue, “Reimagining Capitalism”. The major takeaways… forbes.com/sites/randalll…
a) Have to go back to 1960s, maybe even 1930s, since primacy of capitalism so questioned – only about half of Americans have positive image, with “socialism” on the rise – especially among Millennials/Gen Z
b) As @SteveCase told me: “This has been brewing for years, accelerating in the last few months and again in the last few weeks." Hedge fund legend Paul Tudor Jones adds: “We’re at a crossroads, with massive social fissures.”

 Dear Media, to avoid committing media malpractice, if you invite someone on your show to talk about #climate & they say:
"The climate has always changed."

You must immediately say "No, we understand all observed warming is now human caused, overwhelming any natural changes."
2/3
 If they say "It's cold out"
You must immediately say:
You're confusing "weather" and "climate." The world as a whole is warming. One cold day in one place doesn't disprove global climate science.
3/3
 If they say "The scientists are only in it for the money" you have two choices:

Say either "Scientists get paid far less than fossil fuel lobbyists & climate deniers, & whatever they're paid has no effect on the validity of the science."
Or call me for a "Fuck you" response.

Over the past year, a truly loopy conspiracy theory about me has developed in one or another of feverish corners of the fever swamp. It involves the phrase “insurance policy” and a Lawfare article I wrote about the #CoalitionOfAllDemocraticForces shortly before the election.
I only mention it because with this perfectly silly article in @thehill by someone named @SharylAttkisson, it seems to have broken through to mainstream media. thehill.com/opinion/white-…
Ms. Atkinson did not call me before she wrote this goofy piece or pose any questions about any of the matters she speculated about. So I invite her to do so here: @SharylAttkisson, feel free to ask me any questions you may have about the “insurance policy.”

Over the past year I’ve seen more and more of these kinds of tweets. “I didn’t like/vote for Trump, but I have to admit…..” These have to admits turn into votes. And votes turn into reinforcing his policies. And that creates a feedback loop that leads to a political tsunami.
As Trump continues to notch accomplishments, he drags in more and more people, perhaps kicking and screaming, that have to admit he’s done good things. How do you spin three Americans being released in exchange for - apparently nothing?
How do you spin people getting more money in their paychecks? How do you spin ISIS being destroyed? Al Qaeda leaders being killed? Famous blacks coming out in support of Trump? Justices filling vacancies at a record rate? Record low unemployment for blacks and Hispanics?

Late last night veteran #climate journalist @Revkin asked some sharp questions about @Sierra_Magazine’s “The Case for Climate Reparations,” spurred by an appreciative post from NYC Chief Resilience Officer @dzarrilli. Here’s my response …
My essay is only concerned with climate change-related damages in the US spurred, as I argue, by US actors like the oil majors. I could’ve written about Peruvian villagers suing a German energy giant & melting glaciers in the Andes, but that’s beyond the scope of my article.
So I had to identify extreme weather events in the US. As NOAA has reported, 2017 was the most destructive year on record for “natural” disasters. See this tracker ncdc.noaa.gov/billions/summa…
