Not a single G20 nation is on track to meet its Paris Agreement commitments. This is the cost of inaction — and enough is enough!

I get that we as Americans have different conceptions of what is and isn't over the line, offensive, hurtful and taboo. But I also think most people understand it's better to be kind than cruel and it's *bizarre* to see that view treated as some kind of radical left proposition.

Zoomed with a bunch of financial folks today for a story about commercial real estate, & they all look so put together. I can feel them thinking, "why are these journalist types always so frumpy?" cringe

NEW: A Republican legislator has proposed a first-of-its-kind law to stop Missouri residents from accessing abortion *outside of Missouri.* Planned Parenthood calls it “the most extraordinary provision we have ever seen.” washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…

THREAD: This is a story about how a young teen was attacked by police. And how the police lied & the NYC Mayor used & disparaged this *child* to try to kill bail reform. Please read on. "All New Yorkers deserve true public safety. Let’s start w/ the truth."nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope…

So embarrassing but that VRBO ad with the giant family reunion, accompanied by Kermit singing "I'm right where I belong" gets me every time

Chris Murphy 🟧 The 1994-2004 federal assault weapon ban reduced gun massacres by 37%—and reduced the number of people dying by 43%. Mass shootings rose 183% after the ban expired, increasing deaths by 239%. A ban on assault weapons would save lives—again.

No one denies the weather is changing on the low-lying fringe of North Carolina. No one can. But virtually no one there would admit to believing in global warming, Amanda Abrams writes. “Utter the words and folks might recoil.” 📸: Chris Facey noemamag.com/as-the-water-r…

Really excited to get this story out about what climate change-related weather could do to the housing market. TLDR: It's likely going to be ugly in ways that we're fully unprepared for. Thanks to Jason Mark for his insights & guidance. sierraclub.org/sierra/1-sprin…

A true effort to address homelessness will require housing vouchers, a suitable housing supply, and coordination. bit.ly/3A1xLs4

Weird article about the rise in breast cancer among young women. Not a single real Q about why - ie could it be a rise in environmental toxins? Heavy glyphosate use over past 20 yrs? PFAS? Never mentioned. Seems typical for breast cancer coverage. washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/…

I'm working at a Duke library and looking around, wondering if all these undergrads are part of the 1%. It's creepy. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Architects tell counties they need bigger jails. Then they get the contracts to build those jails. Conflict of interest much? Amanda Abrams has a revelatory The Intercept story on why our communities keep expanding jails, despite good alternatives: theintercept.com/2024/05/31/jai…
