Even @USATODAY is starting to pay attention to #ClimateRisks. (BTW its editorial page did a great editorial some time ago.) The problem is that forces we set in motion today will have this effect in later years. It’s on us to act.

A glimmer from the @washingtonpost editorial page, too.

But the climate-denying @WSJ editorial page can’t resist publishing another crank. Unbelievable. Literally. We need good coverage of the threat sea level rise poses to property values, and our entire economy. #ClimateCosts

Hey, @ShopFloorNAM and @USChamber, worst two climate obstructors, why not save everybody time and trouble and reveal your own fossil fuel funding over past decade? You’ll feel so much better when you’ve done it. Secrets are such a burden. vox.com/energy-and-env…
Check with your lawyers, dudes. Lawyers say it’s usually best to get your own bad information out yourself and try to manage it. A lawyer who doesn’t bring out his own witness’s bad acts is malpracticing.
Check with your board members, too. Board members are going to be looking at some governance questions (theirs and yours) if you haven’t even told them. A fooled board is not a pleasant thing for management. Better tell them, and pronto, dudes.

Hey, @CocaCola and @pepsi: now that @ShopFloorNAM and #ChamberofCarbon are outed as worst two climate obstructors in D.C. are you rethinking your support? Both direct and through your AmBevAssn?
Can you show me a path to climate safety that does not go through a price on carbon in Congress? Cause if not, supporting tools of fossil fuel blockade of Congress seems a little hard to justify.
When it mattered to you to protect sugary beverages from tax during ACA, AmBevAssn went into hyperdrive, lobbying records show. Will lobbying records show you care that much about climate crisis?

In addition to individual decisions so political as to put the reputation of the Court in question, there’s also a telling pattern: 73 partisan, 5-4 decisions led by Roberts through 2018 that delivered victories for big Republican donor interests. washingtonpost.com/opinions/yes-t…
73 is a lot of partisan 5-4 decisions; then add 100% Republican win rate.

Hmmmmm . . . .
More and more, people understand this. Shame that the Roberts Five didn’t know better when they created this mess with Citizens United, benefiting the fossil fuel industry. Low point in Supreme Court history; worse than Lochner.

🚨🚨 Breaking! NY state senate taking up nation-leading climate legislation now. Just accepted a message of necessity from @NYGovCuomo. @toddkaminsky speaking now. Watch live here: nysenate.gov 🚨🚨

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

I’m starting a thread to document things I find in the FISA warrants that were just released. These will be in the form of observations I make as I work my way through it. First of all, the 412 pages includes all four warrants and the associated documentation.
Secondly, the first thing that stands out to me is that the FBI perjured themselves in the application for the warrant. Why do I say this? Because it includes this.

The 14th amdt turns 150 years old this year on July 9. It is the closest we’ve come to writing into the constitution what we claimed in the Declaration of Independence. If you’re forced to pick one, choose the 14th - above the 1st, the 2nd, or the FIF. Sorry Dave Chappelle.
2/x I’m using this as a thread to post one tweet a day about the fourteenth amendment until its 150th anniversary on July 9th. John Bingham, republican of Ohio, is credited as the principal author of Section 1 of the amendment, which contains its substantive rights provisions.
3/x I sort of lied when I said I would post one tweet per day until July 9th to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the 14th. Some ideas don’t fit in one tweet. So let’s say one thread per day - short ones:

207. UCHE DIKE was an odd ball with a mild distasteful sense of fashion when he first gained admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe university in Anambra State, Nigeria.

Uche was one of those students in school who occasionally wore bogus long sleeved shirts...
208... and carton-coloured trousers that looked like something that came out of a thrift shop in the
1980's.

A geek eyeglass, an afro, a black duffle bag and a brown shoe that shares the same oddity with Uche's choice of clothing, was also part of his signature appearance.
209. Uche was an awkward young man which made him an easy target for bullies.

Sometimes he felt there was a mental sticker on his head that screamed
'Bully me. Bully me. Bully me'.

Uche was the real definition of "Fashion makes you stand out." His mentality...

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
