The extreme heatwave continues... But equally worrying is the fact that our societies fail to grasp the full meaning of this. The longer the climate crisis is being ignored or downplayed - the longer people will remain unaware. And the political inaction is allowed to continue.

Extremely hot again on the fringe of the Arctic Ocean. An astonishing + 34 °C has just been recorded at a latitude of 73 °N today in Russia. This is about + 20-25 °C warmer than normal. Note how much open water there is compared to normal. Sea ice is taking a hit.

Call me a radical lefty, but freedom doesn’t mean forcing people back to work during a pandemic.

Reminder: Anyone that believes in conspiracy theories that would require the cooperation of 1000’s upon 1000’s of people has obviously never been a Project Manager.

Making people homeless because you are not reaching profit margins is a crime against humanity #BasicIncome #HousingForAll #compassion #inequality #injustice

If we decided that $2000 a month is a basic requirement to live for out of work workers. Why are we making people who are often the most vulnerable of society, and the sick and disabled, live in crushing poverty at 650-1050 a month?

To clarify, $1200 checks are ONLY going to some w/social sec numbers, NOT immigrants w/ tax IDs (ITINs). Thanks to GOP, these checks will be cut off the backs of *taxpaying immigrants,* who get nothing. Many are essential workers who pay more taxes than Amazon. Wall St gets $4T

If we do not implement universal income I feel millions will fall due to extended income losses leading to homelessness and long-term health damage #coronavirus #ubi #progress

The entirety of humanity has never had a *SINGULAR ENEMY*. What happens when 200,000,000 scientists, physicians and technologists focus on a single crisis? We *science the shit out it* and solve the problem!

Ironically, the reason many tech platforms have created billionaires is bc they track you without your knowledge, amass your personal data& sell it without your express consent. You don’t own your data, & you should. And btw, the internet was created w/ publicly funded research.

Ironic that the platform you’re using to say all this is created by now-billionaires who effectively helped in humanity’s greatest instantaneous global connection via internet, an accomplishment worth billions🤷‍♂️ & by tweeting you’re supporting them and part of the problem, no?

The rights of journalists and whistleblowers like Julian Assange must be upheld - and his extradition must be opposed.
