Now that we know burning methane indoors is as dangerous as living with a smoker, why would we build a gas-burning building in Montgomery County ever again? We're calling on Chair @GabeAlbornoz1 to schedule a @MoCoCouncilMD vote on #electrifymoco bill w/o weakening amendments!
Simply having a gas stove in your home can expose you to levels of benzene comparable to living with a smoker. 😱😨 Ditch the scary substances and leave gas in the past #MakeTheSwitch

Montgomery County's families -- like the Torrey-Coffidis' in Silver Spring -- understand that the future is all-electric, and powered by renewables. Cm @albornoz_gabe, let's lead the way by passing #electrifymoco building code without weakening amendments!

When Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican Leader, tells us his job is to oppose 100% of President Biden's agenda, we should believe him. Time is running out. We must act quickly to improve the lives of working families with 51 votes. We cannot afford to wait. Let's get it done.

Here’s the difference, folks. When Colin Kaepernick speaks out against racial injustice, no team will sign him. When Josh Hawley gets dropped for helping incite an insurrection, he lands another book deal in less than 2 weeks. This is what white privilege looks like.

As you read this brilliant look-back https://t.co/tdH1tejF3P
https://t.co/pIECgcdBqk remember, The Times on May 4 published federal documents predicting a rushed reopening would lead to 3000 deaths a day. The White House slammed us, @JohnsHopkinsSPH backtracked. We're at 4,000.

We need to design with high albedo surfaces
2020 tied for the hottest year on record. But that heat is not evenly distributed. Cities are heating up the fastest, amplified by concrete and asphalt. With cities expected to grow 70% by 2050, millions of (esp poor) people will be baked and roasted. https://t.co/PpC8GSuAr6
