ANALYSIS: An initial assessment of the impact of the Glasgow sectoral announcements on #methane, #coal, #forests and #transport show they would reduce the 2030 emissions gap betw govt action and a #1o5C pathway by 9% or 2.3GtCO2e. https://t.co/3zCtoD7rT3

Congratulations Rep. @Ilhan Omar for bold new legislation moving us beyond GDP towards a true measure of economic wellbeing – the Genuine Progress Indicator. The GPI is critical component of a #greenNewDeal and will measure real American progress https://t.co/JAL5fpqrX2

Poverty is a choice. It’s time we prioritize new economic indicators and economic policies that will prioritize sustainable and equitable growth. Today, we’re introducing TWO bills: -A guaranteed income bill -A bill to establish an alternative economic metric

The incident involving the Ocean City Police Dep. over the weekend is deeply disturbing. We must have zero tolerance for police misconduct. I strongly urge the Att. General to begin an immediate investigation. There must be swift and strong consequences for any and all misconduct

The video from this weekend in Ocean City is deeply disturbing. Vaping on the Boardwalk is not a criminal offense. Black and brown children should not be tased while their hands are up. Officers should not kneel on the back of a minor. Vaping should not yield a hog tie.

Normally, at this point in season 90% of America's corn crop is in the ground. But thanks to endless rain, it's 58% this year. For soybeans, 29% planted instead of the usual 66%. A hotter planet=more rain and more drought (and horribly stressed farmers) https://t.co/JRxyg6bLEp

A historically delayed planting season is causing an amount of stress and angst in farm country that "cannot be overstated."

Exxon wouldn't let this indigenous leader speak, so let's spread the word ourselves.
Donald Tritt, a Gwich'in leader w/ @OurArcticRefuge, traveled from Alaska to Texas to be at the #ExxonAGM today to ask @ExxonMobil to stay out of the Arctic Refuge. Exxon wouldn't even let him speak. Here's what he would have said. RT to #StandWithTheGwichin! #ProtectTheArctic

Inequality has become so extreme in the United States that even the richest Americans and Forbes magazine now fear for the future of capitalism and are looking for ways to transform capitalism. https://t.co/hzAWjP9b3g

It’s disturbing and unacceptable that @Yale has begun formal disciplinary trials to punish us — on top of the police citations. Yale’s priorities are clear: Intimidating peaceful protesters, but refusing to end unethical investments.

Not sure when protecting global society from economic risk and geopolitical instability became a left wing idea! Seems like the right used to worry about such things :) Go for it @ExtinctionR - we need you to succeed in waking people up.

Taxing the rich is extremely popular: @AOC’s proposal for a 70 percent top rate polls well, and Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax polls even better with a crushing 60-21 victory that includes majority support from Republicans

A 70 percent top rate polls well; Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax polls even better.

The age of #GDP is now over. It belongs to the time of linear economic growth. Genuine Progress @GPIndicator is the way to go.
Genuine Progress Indicator @GPIndicator provides a holistic way to measure economic growth as quality of life. Time to stop focusing on income (GDP). Ch 6, Buddhist Economics (Bloomsbury) gives overview. #WorldEnvironmentDay
