Looks like we'll get the @nytimes editorial board's endorsement will come in an hour or so... Who do you think it will be?
@nytimes Also: Didn't mean to leave out Yang, Klobuchar, Steyer and others! Twitter just only let me put 4 choices, so I went with those four frontrunners.

You can read more about their process here. nytimes.com/2020/01/19/opi…
@nytimes Also I am shocked that I can get several hundred people to vote in a twitter poll within minutes! LOL. That's crazy!!!

Let's see if we "wisdom of the crowds" this or not...

This month, #climatebookclub read @ElizabethaRush Pulitzer prize finalist book, “Rising: Dispatches from the New American Shore.”

The book tackles the changes that are already happening all along our coasts due to climate change. I’ll kick off the discussion in this THREAD!
@ElizabethaRush @Pr0jectClimate @Alicia_Harley @J_Lovering @karenstreet @jen_skene @rschauland @LisaMEarthMama @shairsmom @terrainvague @TutusNTinyHats Question 1: How did the book make you feel about climate change impacts? So often, we treat this crisis as something unfolding in the future, yet Rush captures that climate change is happening now. Were there some impacts that surprised you?

@ElizabethaRush @Pr0jectClimate @Alicia_Harley @J_Lovering @karenstreet @jen_skene @rschauland @LisaMEarthMama @shairsmom @terrainvague @TutusNTinyHats @silkeswings @DGA12 @charleyinMA Question 2: The book looks squarely at how race and class interact with climate vulnerability. What did you learn from the book about the unequal burden that some communities are already facing?

Will @apsfyi finally stop being one of the worst clean energy laggards in the country? New reporting from the great @utilityreporter suggests they plan... to have a plan... I'll need to see more to believe it. Why? Because APS is a laggard.
azcentral.com/story/money/bu…
@apsFYI @utilityreporter As I document in gory detail in my forthcoming book, Short Circuiting Policy, APS has dragged its feet on clean energy since the 1990s. They have rolled back solar energy policies, opposed ballot initiatives, and delayed acting on laws on the books.

@apsFYI @utilityreporter On renewables, Arizona is consistently behind on its own targets. In 2018, it only produced 5% of its utility-scale electricity supply from renewables. If renewables continue to grow at their best pace, by 2045 there will only be ~40% renewable energy sources.

You know what's "radical"? Burning the entire planet down to line the pockets of a few wealthy fossil fuel executives.

Dear @nytimes editorial board: you are still ignorant of the magnitude of the climate crisis. I really struggle to understand why.
@nytimes You know what's not "realistic"? Burning the entire planet down through continuing extraction and leakage of fossil gas.

Dear @nytimes editorial board: you are still ignorant of the magnitude of the climate crisis. I'm still struggling to understand why.
@nytimes In their 3,500 word endorsement, the @nytimes editorial board mentions climate change a total of three times. What do they say in their brief treatment of the problem affecting all living beings on this planet? Let's find out...

Here is our post debate poll with @Ipsos! We encourage you to check it out for yourself, but pretty clearly has good overall news for BUTTIGIEG.

Also stuff for WARREN and KLOBUCHAR to be happy about.

Mostly bad news for BIDEN. Very bad news for GABBARD. projects.fivethirtyeight.com/democratic-deb…
@Ipsos First, in how voters rated the candidates' debate performances, BUTTIGIEG and WARREN got the highest grades. But ratings closely matched the candidates' favorability ratings going in. BIDEN and GABBARD are the exceptions and considerably underperformed their favorability ratings.
@Ipsos BUTTIGIEG made the biggest gains in how many voters are considering voting for him. HARRIS and BOOKER also made decent gains by this metric. SANDERS's numbers actually declined a bit; while voters liked how he debated, he may not be persuading new people into his camp.

The UK parliament looks to have lost its moral backbone.
Power is clung on to like a precious ring, and at any cost.
Bungs are pocketed, impropriety is rife even corruption passes unnoted.
How did it come to this?

We are a Nation that has been consciously divided.
#Leave <Divide and conquer> #Remain
While elites polarize opinion alonge tribal lines they can guarantee support despite misdemeanors that would not pass the scrutiny of a united populace or parliament.
Whatever the final result come 29/03/2019 the division will remain and will be used for political/personal/financial advantage for years to come.
Sadly I don't see how the country will ever be whole again any time in the near future and beyond.
Here is why....

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
