Two concerns I have: 1) that carbon removal isn't yet universally understood as a necessary part of solving climate change. 2) that many in the carbon removal space aren't integrating equity and justice into their frameworks. I think it's early enough to course correct. 🧵 (1/7)

Earlier this week I joined colleagues in urging @SecRubio to protect the Global Sumud Flotilla. Now my constituent, Zuleyka Morales Rivera, a U.S. veteran, has been abducted with other Americans bringing aid to Gaza.
The State Department must act to protect all captives. They must be kept safe, released immediately, and the aid must be allowed to reach those in desperate need.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Moments ago at the Russel Senate Office building Medicaid activists in wheelchairs were arrested by Capitol police for staging a sit in. Their banner was snatched and their wrists tied with zip ties.

Clean energy tech remains broadly popular with both Democrats and Republicans.
Perhaps more important, wind and solar is growing in Republican states and they are poised to be major beneficiaries of the IRA.

I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about Israel bombing Baalbek, Tyre, and Beirut in my father's country, Lebanon. 🇱🇧
These are some of the most ancient cities on earth, treasures of humanity. Cradles of civilization bombed by so-called "civilized" nations. Shameful.

California put me in solitary for refusing to work for free.
They tortured me until I was willing to be their slave.

AOC asked her followers who split their ballots either for Trump/her or Trump/downballot Dem to explain why and posted the replies:

Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing.
The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos.

Trump is cholera. He's the bacillus in our drinking water. But there's worse coming. Because this platform - all the platforms - are stinking toxic sewers. This is Victorian London before sanitation. Our information system is sick, sick, sick.

Following Trump's first term in office, the number of academic papers published by American authors on Earth science topics hit a 20-year low.
Research doesn't happen for free, and when governments curtail funding for certain research areas, it has consequences.
I seriously don't get how anybody gets through their ballots without a voter guide to spell the shady stuff and unnecessarily complicated phrasing.

Remember how when Wikipedia became a thing and in SCHOOL we had to double down on the differences between primary and secondary sources and because of that, we were able to learn the variety of INTERNET BASED primary sources and what they look like?
Yea. it all starts in school.

Clearly, stigma works. It works so well that it’s convinced billions of people to stop filtering the air they breathe despite an oft-disabling, sometimes even deadly virus continuing to rip through the population. You ask why people unmasked, and the theme is “I got weird looks.”
At what point do the Dems radically change themselves or constituents leave en masse to the point that they do? Third parties are going to keep growing - I hope it feels existential for them.
the democrats picking joe biden over bernie sanders in 2020 when a map of donations looked like this is what guaranteed a trump win in 2024
