Please. Seriously, please: @FBI @CIA @POTUS Wake up Monday morning & focus hard on exposing the people, institutions & methods by which Russia has compromised our political parties & government. We know there’s a lot going on but you have a lot of resources. Tear it all out.. By the roots. Bring full hazard of the rule of law down on the collaborators & perpetrators. Individual govt & military officials w/ debt or undisclosed compensation; orgs acting as pass-throughs for illegal contributions; oligarch-owned businesses; shady real estate deals…

A thread for those interested in why we should all care about policy that promotes (not discourages) mass adoption of residential solar energy: 1) we’re in a transformational moment for our society. We MUST confront the dire threat of climate change & the disruptions it is causing our economy & our very lives. This means we MUST decarbonize our economy & transition to electrification of transportation
& energy use in homes & offices & data centers etc. To do this at scale we MUST transition to renewable energy

‘How can we sleep while our beds are burning?’ I hadn’t listened to that great battle-cry of a song by Midnight Oil in a while but it’s never been more resonant. Unprecedented fires all around the globe. Biblical floods from intensifying storms, mass die offs of marine life… 1)

We aren’t just mortgaging our children’s future home for short term profit anymore. We’re torching it before even passing it on. We need global carbon emission regulation now. Right now. This isn’t about ‘individual consumer choices’. Governments need to step up…2)

To any companies who spent a bunch of $ on Super Bowl ads only to wake up & read (below) that Nielsen couldn’t deliver a low-tech ratings report for over 24 hours: if you’re crazy enough to still be relying on Nielsen for insights, you’re shit out of luck tinyurl.com/gsfazumj Epic fail. But if you're an EDO.com client, you don’t really care bc you had a much higher-value ad effectiveness report on this critical ad event by 3am, ready to discuss Monday morning (public version 👇, clients get much richer data) tinyurl.com/3v5oa4v4

Today’s meditation: MLK Day isn’t like Labor Day, it’s not a holiday from work. It’s the opposite. It’s a day dedicated TO work. To continue his work. To read his exhortations & recommit to dedicating our personal time, resources & courage to advance his cause in his absence. I just re-read ‘Letter from a Birmingham Jail’. Full text here africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/L… There are too many great lines in this brilliant, forceful, compassionate but fierce piece of writing to quote. I think all white Americans of good conscience should read it today.

If armed people of color; black, Latino, Muslim- stormed the US Capitol to disrupt the transfer of power following an election, there'd be no 'tear gas & rubber bullets phase' of the response. They'd be shot dead before they got 10 steps into the grounds.

This is what should be happening to these domestic terrorist insurgents today as the perpetrate the single most brazen domestic assault on US Govt since the firing on Ft Sumter. If anyone else in public life had called for these actions or supported them

I’m no political pundit but I grew up w a dad who was a federal prosecutor & he taught me a lot & I’ve also sat a fair amount of poker w serious players & l’ll say this: I do not think Trump is trying to ‘make his base happy’ or ‘laying the groundwork for his own network’... ...or that ‘chaos is what he loves’. The core of it is that he knows he’s in deep, multi-dimensional legal jeopardy & this defines his every action. We’re seeing 1) a tactical delay of the transition to buy time for coverup & evidence suppression 2) above all, a desperate endgame

Yeah but you know what?... Way too tepid & decades too late. This family has made billions for each of them on vomitous bile, slander, lies, hate-stoking, racist, misogynistic & anti-American propaganda to manipulate white working class Americans so that they don’t realize how...

totally they are being screwed and laughed at by the plutocracy that Fox was really built to defend the interests of. And James Murdoch was head of the News of the World when they illegally hacked a dead girl’s phone (along with many others) and he sat in front of Parliament...
