It wasn’t an Act of God. It was an Act of Chevron. An Act of Exxon. An Act of Big Oil. gregpalast.com/new-orleans-wi… #NewOrleans #Louisiana #HurricaneKatrina #Barry #BigOil #Pollution #Environment #ClimateChange
Take a look at these numbers dug out of #Louisiana state records:

Conoco 3.3 million acres
Exxon Mobil 2.1 million acres
Chevron 2.7 million acres
Shell 1.3 million acres

These are the total acres of wetlands removed by just four oil companies over two decades.
#NewOrleans used be to a long, swampy way from the Gulf of Mexico. #Hurricanes & storm surges had to cross a protective mangrove forest nearly a 100 miles thick. Then Standard Oil, Exxon’s prior alias, began channeling pipelines & tanker routes thu the soft delta prairie grass.

In 2005 I explained exactly how #NewOrleans drowned and would drown again, maybe in the next few days... gregpalast.com/new-orleans-wi… #Louisiana #HurricaneKatrina #Barry #BigOil
I hope you don’t think #Trump and his army corps of engineers gives a damn about a black city sinking. #Katrina turned #Louisiana from blue to red, a form of voter purging that includes murder in its method. gregpalast.com/new-orleans-wi… #Barry
But DON’T blame the Lady. #Katrina killed no one. In fact, she missed the city of #NewOrleans completely, going wide to the east. It wasn’t Mother Nature that drowned, suffocated, de-hydrated and starved nearly 2,000 people in 2005. This is the real story. gregpalast.com/how-mother-nat…

In my confidential report commissioned by the Governor of #Ohio, Dick Celeste, I warned that Ohio #nuclear plants would impoverish bill payers and cause industry to flee the state. The year was 1985. And so it went. wsj.com/articles/ohio-… #Environment #GreenEnergy #Pollution
This week, the #Ohio GOP toadies to the power industry will try to pass another billion dollar bailout to throw down the radioactive rathole. Three decades of bankrupting #nuclear plant operation in the shadow of #Fukushima shows the politicos have gone from dumb to dumber.
And for those who believe #nuclear energy is green & clean, I invite you to visit uranium mines in Niger, the Congo, and the Acoma pueblo in New Mexico. The only thing green about nuclear power is the plume of dollars flying out the cooling towers! theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Thread hommage à @pierre_jacquel dont l'argumentation pourrait permettre de vendre n'importe quoi, tendant au passage à mettre en avant les sophismes qu'elle contient. @Ascl_Pios , @ContactPrimum , @TroncheBiais , @UnMondeRiant , et tout les médic et zet', dédicaces pour vous
Petit thread pour expliquer pourquoi je suis plutôt pour le remboursement de la raclette, et pourquoi je pense que toute personne qui aime (vraiment) la démarche scientifique devrait être de mon avis.
L'affaire semble pourtant simple : du coté de la #team science, on explique que la raclette n'a aucun effet en dehors d'un effet placebo. Les arguments sont nombreux.

Petit thread pour expliquer pourquoi je suis plutôt pour le remboursement de l'homéopathie, et pourquoi je pense que toute personne qui aime (vraiment) la démarche scientifique devrait être de mon avis.

Certains (comme @le_science4all ) mettent l'accent sur le fait que les principes de l'homéopathie (mémoire de l'eau, etc) violent ce que nous savons de la physique moderne. Il y a pour la #teamBayésienne de très fortes raisons de ne pas croire en son effet.

I’ve worked with lots of agile #teams, and some of the symptoms of a well functioning high-perfoming teams that I see are:

👇
They start their daily standups on time.
They tend to laugh a lot and have fun.

1. An undeserved curse is returned to the sender tenfold
2. The detail they failed to mention is the reason they hate Kavanaugh is because he's anti abortion, which they rely upon to FEED them #CannibalsAreAnimals
3. This interview will age very well, Mr Watters #ByePhoenicia
Recognize the significance of this interview on @WattersWorld. This time last year they were only alluding to a "cult" on Fox News while discussing Donna Brazile's fear of HRC & Co after they murdered Seth Rich. Now, @JesseBWatters is interviewing witches who are hexing our gov't
You CANNOT convince me nothing is happening. There is NO WAY this would even be a story if not for the full disclosure effort that's currently underway in #TheGreatAwakening. This kind of story prepares the public psyche for the FACT that "witches" are actively working against us

@ThomasWictor 1. Remember those Raids in Feb. 2017?

That was a DAM BURSTING.

What was allowed/encouraged/PROFITED OFF OF got rolled up in a MAJOR way

Since Trump & the DOJ no longer TELL us what they're doing THE ENEMY

(almost ALL of whom are LAWYERS) can't sabotage it

1,000's of Arrests
@ThomasWictor 2. WHO would want to sabotage investigations into Human Trafficking?

Sex Slavery & Child Abuse? ASSHOLES LIKE THIS=Lawyer Matt Gonzalez

Who COULDN'T WAIT to Crow about getting Kate Steinle's Killer off &

Bash TRUMP in the same breath

YOU DAMN BETCHA THEY'D GET OUT IN FRONT!
@ThomasWictor 3. Reports are the Feds found ABDUCTED KIDS IN CAGES during those Raids

Literally snatched out of Backyards. About 500 People were arrested in 1 week

in California. Then the feds had to sift thru the MOUNTAINS of evidence they'd

just seized.

Cool, j'ai un exposé à faire sur un article de Virginie Julliard : #ThéorieDuGenre : comment débat-on du genre sur Twitter ?
Fun car ce sont mes binômes qui ont choisi le sujet et que ça tombe direct dans mes intérêts. Je vais faire un LT, ça me servira de notes !
Hypothèse du papier : Twitter produit un débat spécifique, en raison de ses propriétés & de la manière dont les utilisateurs s'en saisissent
