BREAKING: @RepJerryNadler @RepJeffries & the NYS Congressional delegation call on @NYGovCuomo to release far more people from prison amidst COVID-19. "Releasing a significant number of people will save lives... We urge you to take action on a much larger scale." #ClemencyNow

82% of the country supports monthly relief checks. Eighty. Two. Percent. We need to stop making excuses and get money into people's pockets every month. I have a bill to do just that! omar.house.gov/media/press-r…

Germany is opening new coal plants. Australia is pushing a "gas-led recovery." China's emissions are back up to pre-Covid levels. India is opening up elephant reserves to coal mining. Trump is enacting the fossil fuel dreamscape. This "recovery" is suicide. We have to stop it.
Germany is opening a new coal power plant this summer. It’s run by Finnish state-owned Fortum. Swedish state-owned Vattenfall is already operating new coal plants in Germany. Everyone involved claims to be “climate leaders” but this is the opposite of leadership. This is failure.

Morning inspiration from my colleague @bethheartscake on our weekly UK Portfolio sharing space: “Lots of people are capable of much more than they think they are - they just need the conditions” 🌱

The NHS is building a large-scale datastore to share data with the Palantirs and Amazons of the world. Does our health really depend on such dracanion measures? I have some thoughts and many questions: #OHTWeek @One_HealthTech @BeyondReturnOrg onehealthtech.com/post/surve…

This is a really big deal. An @amazon VP has resigned over the firing of whistleblowers and mistreatment of warehouse workers. And he is going public with the whole story. This kind of courage is what we need right now, in every workplace and walk of life. Thank you @timbray
Amazon VP, @timbray resigns over #covid firings of me, @marencosta and others. Says Amazon “firing whistleblowers” is “evidence of a vein of toxicity running through the company culture. I choose neither to serve nor drink that poison.” Thank you, Tim. tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/…

"Systems thinking is too advanced for undergraduates" an economics professor once told me. I just taught the basics of feedback loops to my 11 y.o. twins and then they drew this. It's time to teach & use the tools we all need for the complex challenges we face now & ahead.
