4 months after my mother passed away, @VodafoneUK still won't cancel her account. Our calls, when we finally get through, have been met with extreme rudeness and aggression, and demands that my frail, confused father answers impossible, irrelevant questions. But it gets worse ...
Please, do NOT shop for Britain. Consumerism drives us towards an even greater crisis than the pandemic: the collapse of our life support systems.
"You are not working from home; you are at your home during a crisis trying to work." I've heard this twice today. I think it's an important distinction worth emphasising.
The coronavirus crisis is on a scale of a major war. We need: 🏥Testing and health care for all 💵Direct economic aid to every worker 🏡No evictions, foreclosures or utility shutoffs 🏭U.S. production of medical supplies Now is the time for solidarity. We are in this together.
Bailouts are coming. I'd like to suggest one simple rule for Democrats to follow right now: Bailout people, not corporations. Not banks, not airlines, not cruises, not oil. People.

What angers me about the GOP’s attempts to turn the United States into a far-right Christian theocracy is how dishonest they are about it. At least be forthright about your desire to subvert and dismantle our democracy into a creepy theological order led by a mad king.
To the GOP extremists trying to invoke “the unborn” to jail people for abortion: Where are you on climate change? OH right, you want to burn fossil fuels til there’s hell on Earth. If they were truthful about their motives, they’d be consistent in their principles. They’re not.
They're still doing it, still lying about doing it, have broken whole governments in order to keep doing it—and until we face those facts, they're going to go on doing it. Predatory delay is why we have a climate emergency.
The oil companies knew exactly what they were doing to the planet, so they lied to us and did it anyway. For a profit.

This seems about 50,000 scarier than Iran
I mean, I get why some VCs would want to invest in apps that make money, but at some point you gotta ask yourself if what you’re investing in is patently bullshit and preys on the wallets of people, like astrology apps. nytimes.com/2019/04/15/sty…

Venture Capital Is Putting Its Money Into Astrology (Published 2019)
The investment in Big Zodiac seems … preordained.
Pulitzer to my NYT colleagues for proving that Trump probably committed criminal tax fraud and that he is daddy-made, not self-made, to the tune of many hundreds of millions of dollars. If you did't read it then, please read it now. nytimes.com/2018/10/02/us/…
That’s bc I like: ✅ Solar panels 🛰 ✅ Turbines⚙️ ✅ Battery Storage 🔋 ✅ Electric Vehicles 🚛 ✅ Regenerative Ag 🐄 ✅ Jobs + Justice 🏗 ✅ Funding fuel worker pensions👷🏽♂️ ✅ Structuring our economy so it doesn’t depend on continuous extraction of working people & the planet 🌎
"For some reason, Democrats don't like pipelines -- they don't like energy," Trump says in Minnesota, before pivoting to immigration. "Who do you think these countries are giving us -- they're not giving us their finest, I can tell you." He calls asylum seekers "a big con job"
There are 129 months left until the point of no return for climate change. If we haven’t changed by then, scientists say we will inevitably go extinct. …Okay, now we can all go back to ignoring this fact.
Trump’s 4-part strategy: 1) Disparage someone/group of people w/ rants & insults. 2) Divide the nation through controversy. 3) Distract from your attempts to cut taxes & cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. 4) Destroy the safety-nets and repeal regulations. Repeat.
Anyone who thinks [insert any historical situation, ever] is as big as the planetary emergency we've unleashed upon the world doesn't grasp the magnitude of what's going on, at all. We're in a discontinuity. Nothing in our history compares; nothing in our experience prepares.
“What we have to unflinchingly look in the eye is how much choice we still have,” Steffen says. “The hard part is not wrestling with how bad things could get–it’s understanding how much responsibility we still have to make things better.” fastcompany.com/90318242/clima…

Climate change is inevitable. How bad it gets is a choice
"There's this assumption, in a lot of climate writing and discussion, that we've already chosen the path, and we're not going to veer from it--the ship is already sinking."
