Today my husband was handcuffed and had tasers pulled on him by Oakland Police Dept. because a random couple accused him of stealing their truck. He was in fact sitting in his truck. That he owns.

If anyone - ANY news organization believes this is “breaking news,” they ought to be ashamed of themselves. This has been US policy for decades.

A 🧵on recent media stories about US "planning reaction to Putin's potential use of nuclear weapons." While Americans may have concerns about how Ukrainian successes may cause Putin to do more dumb things (use nukes), the US does extensive planning on these (& other) issues. 1/

Pleased to share with you this picture I took a while back of the world’s biggest standing mud edifice, built in 1327 and still standing. It was a blessing living in this city for a year. Who can tell me the city?

Absolutely.

Recently I learned about a man who has trained 1,000+ people to block wind and solar projects. I read through all his training materials, presentations, and seminars. Here's what I learned about him and how his students plan to "win the war on clean energy." 🧵

A dark money group is running ads promoting fossil fuels and attacking clean energy in the final weeks before the election. The PAC has spent more than $1 million to reach voters in 7 swing states. And someone just sent me documents revealing who's funding it. 🧵

Last night on CNN I said it wasn’t likely the device landing in Poland was an Air Defense Missile. I also said we need to wait for additional analysis. It now appears I was wrong on the missile, right on the need for further analysis. A reminder: 1st reports r usually wrong.

Ukraine is 9 months into this fight. They're at the start of a new phase (Phase IV). Let’s review & then look at what may be ahead. In this AAR, I’ll include past descriptions, slides I made at different times, news articles…and predict what we may need to watch. Here goes. 2/

Are meat substitutes really better for the climate than meat and dairy? It was surprisingly hard to find a dataset that answered this question, so I started building one. I show the results in my new Substack post. Spoiler: yes, most are lower-carbon. hannahritchie.substack.com/p/carbon-footp…

The headlines are amazing: ‘Russia accuses Ukraine of strikes within its borders’ like it’s unfair or unwarranted.

Well done…the right choice.

Rep. Brian Mast Sheila Jackson Lee Integrity is also something you learn as an Army value your first week in basic training. So why are you lying about this?

Leadership. From both sides.

The arrogance of the Democratic Party establishment brought us to this moment. We all knew he was too old to run again. And instead of admit it, they insisted everything was fine because it was best for their careers And now we’re fucked.

Completely agree. If he doesn't choose this option - the chance of a Trump 2 will increase with each passing day between now and Nov...

Keep it moving, follow the plan. Let the people decide.
