GOP aristocracy, including Jim Baker and George Shultz, are lobbying Repubs to advance a carbon tax under the guise of combating climate change and guess what? It’s working:

nytimes.com/2017/02/07/sci…
The plan, funded by big corporations, would get fossil fuel companies off the hook for climate lawsuits and federal regulations. An unworkable “dividend payment” scheme would buy off voters. No thanks

Raise your hand if you trust Ben Bernanke, Lawrence Summers, Christie Todd Whitman and Janet Yellen to do the right thing for working class Americans
This all sounds legit, right?

House GOP should focus on how the Michael Flynn case is portrayed in the report. Team Mueller claimed that Trump might have obstructed justice when he allegedly (according to Comey’s Dear Diary) said he hoped the FBI would let the Flynn thing “go.” But... amgreatness.com/2019/07/22/rep…
Mueller’s report vaguely referred to the “Russia investigation.” But Trump clearly was referring to the FBI’s ridiculous probe into whether Flynn violated the Logan Act, a so-called dead letter law that has never been used to prosecute anyone...
amgreatness.com/2019/07/22/rep…
But Mueller accused Trump of possibly “shutting down an inquiry that could result in a grand jury investigation and a criminal charge.” On the Logan Act? House GOP must press Mueller on this and make clear Trump was not trying to shut down the Russia collusion investigation. Why?

The Mueller report never mentioned Glenn Simpson or Fusion GPS—must be why Team Mueller overlooked the fact that Simpson was working with the infamous “Russian lawyer” who attended the June 9, 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Don Jr. Must be why Mueller didn’t mention that...
Simpson had dinner with Veselnitskaya the night before AND the night after the Trump Tower meeting. Simpson and Veselnitskaya were in court just hours before the Trump Tower meeting on an issue before their client, Prevezon, a Russian company...

amgreatness.com/2019/07/22/rep…
House Republicans need to ask Mueller if the Simpson-Veselnitskaya-Prevezon entanglement was election collusion since Simpson was being paid by DNC, Clinton campaign. Also, ask if the Trump Tower meeting sounds like a set-up by Simpson—sure looks like it:

Since Election Night, I’ve been called a racist, a moron, an idiot, a traitor to my gender, and un-American. I’ve been accused of supporting a rapist and a Russian agent. I’ve been questioned about what kind of mother I am to my daughters. Trust me, this is a short list and...
a vicious environment all Trump voters/supporters have ensured for three years. Meanwhile, Dems like Omar demean our country and threaten to strip us of our vote—OUR RIGHTS—by impeaching a president they detest. How exactly should Trump voters respond? Gee, let’s compromise?

Woke up with the climate horrors again. Thinking of the millions in India facing the heat and lack of water. Heat at this level kills, it harms, people, animals (wild & domestic), crops. This is what true horror looks like, and we are only at 1 degree of warming, heading for 4.
But 1 degree is already enough to mean we have left the Holocene behind. The Holocene is the pink zone in this figure from the IPCC SR1.5. The Holocene started after the last ice age, 12'000 years ago. Agriculture, cities and civilizations all happened during the Holocene. 2/
We have moved Earth into a climate with no previous analog in terms of speed of change, and no previous analog in terms of the experience of our species. Homo genus is 2 million years old: the last time there were 400ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere was 3 million years ago. 3/

To see how serious is climate change, look at what businesses are doing: nytimes.com/interactive/20…
1/ “gigantic banks and mutual funds, which continue to invest traditionally but use climate analytics to see where their portfolios might contain problems, like public utilities that could be bankrupted by wildfires.”
2/ “Anticipating future food crises, strategists at Merrill Lynch advise clients to snap up vertical farms and smart hydroponics”

In April, Alberta, Canada, will elect a new provincial government. Many may be unaware that the current @rachelnotley govt has adopted a globally significant #climate plan. Here is what's in it, what it has done, and what is at stake next month. A THREAD #abvote 1/24
First, where did Alberta’s Climate Leadership Plan plan come from? (George Soros, perhaps? Foreign-funded radicals?) No. It came from Albertans. A volunteer panel led by @andrew_leach spoke w 1K residents in-person and heard from 25K+ online. 2/24
The panel also engaged with 350+ stakeholders and met w Aboriginal Peoples in three cities, and received hundreds of detailed submissions from NGOs, industry groups and others. 3/24

#Lobbying Case Against Democrat With Ties to Manafort Reaches Key Stage

#GregoryBCraig, White House counsel under #BarackObama, is under investigation for work he did on behalf of the president of #Ukraine.

nytimes.com/2019/03/18/us/…
Investigation centers on whether Mr. Craig White House counsel for BO during his 1st year in office, should’ve disclosed work he did in 2012, while he was a partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom; on behalf of the Russia-aligned gov of Viktor F. Yanukovych (Ukraine prez)
Mr. #Manafort’s case, and the investigations into Mr. #Craig and other high-profile consultants who worked with Mr. Manafort, have left Washington’s K Street lobbying corridor scrambling to deal with the heightened scrutiny. nytimes.com/2018/08/01/us/…

*Heads-up that this thread will feature some extreme examples of homophobia and transphobia.*

Hey folks, have you ever wondered why trans people face constant accusations of fetishism, sexual predation and child abuse/grooming? Well, today let's talk about stochastic terrorism.
So, first we have to talk about what stochastic terrorism actually is. Remember when there was a conspiracy that there was a pedophile ring operating out of a pizza parlour basement, and a crazed gunman showed up? It's that sort of incitement that stochastic terrorism describes.
It's the demonisation or incitement against a group of people or individuals with the intent that other, unaffiliated parties will act upon it; it's the releasing doctored footage and a shooter show up at Planned Parenthood as a direct result of what he's been led to believe.

Just got to Davos. Ready to fill the leadership vacuum with big ideas. My focus will be on privilege and women. Only going to #womanels #methree. Also, my alligator-skin boots got snow on them, anyone have a blow drier or an FT I can use to dry them off?
Thread 1/n: Small ideas feel big when I'm in my Gulfstream, so here it goes: We have to innovate on innovation. The 7th industrial revolution disrupts AND displaces. Artificial intelligence and blockchain can only solve resurgent populism with #compassion.
2/n We elites are critical to making this debate glocalized. Thought leadership also involves thought stewardship. Communities form the core of our economies. Blue collar workers must be re-conceived as #newcollar workers. Code is key.
