When RMS Empress of Ireland suffered a severe collision with another ship near the mouth of the Saint Lawrence River on May 28, 1914, she sank in only 14 minutes. Of the 1,477 onboard, 1,012 died. This is the story of Canada's Titanic. 🧵1/14

India barely produced 50 million tons of food grain at its independence in 1947. This year, it is set to produce a whopping 355 million tons. Norman Borlaug & MS Swaminathan are looking down with a smile. Vandana Shiva can go suck her organic lime :) https://t.co/ZE2yAAtr4g

FRAUDULENT—RFK Jr’s report on “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) cited completely FAKE studies that do not even exist, & completely misinterprets others. Truly wild. This is the same guy who bypassed all CDC scientists to put out anti vax nonsense. https://t.co/kxdUbhJd2O
