It’s morally insane that a week after a mass shooting took six lives in our community, House Republicans only response is to expel us for standing with our constituents to call for gun control.
What’s happening in Tennessee is a clear danger to democracy all across this nation.

Our epic production of 'Great Comet' has ended after an unprecedented run. To say this has been an unforgettable production would be an understatement.
We could not be more proud of this incredible team and their incredible work.
Thank you ♥️

It would cost $100 billion to cut methane emissions by 80% in the oil and gas sector.
That sounds like a lot, but it's 3% of the profit fossil fuel companies made last year.
We have the money to prevent a climate crisis. We just need it to go to solutions, not stock buybacks.

Kroger projects $4.9 billion in profits in 2022.
Now it's purchasing Albertons, the second largest grocery store chain, for $25 billion.
Albertsons previously acquired Safeway for $9.2 billion.
Why are grocery prices up? Grocery store goliaths are buying the competition.

The Holocaust happened. It is a fact, not an opinion.
Holocaust deniers are not people who have a different opinion. They are liars.

Thread time. Here's the thing about @tesla. It's not a car company. Tesla is a company that has to make cars in order to sell its real product: Emissions Credits.
Let me explain. Back in 2012, the EPA put out new, strident emissions standards for new vehicles fleetwide. 1/

Unfortunately, I have covered mass shootings multiple times in my career. This is the first time I can recall getting message after message from viewers like this.

An unforgettable nugget from @mawaldman and @BrennanCenter: In the 2022 midterms, the 100 largest donors collectively spent 60% more than every small donor in the United States combined. (Small donors are those who give $200 or less.)

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?"
As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.
