Hey Megyn Kelly,
14-year-old Eloise would like a word:
“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”
Sound up! 🔥🔊

Just two weeks ago, the Committee to Protect Journalists called for Anas Al-Sharif’s protection.
He was subject to repeated Israeli smears that were believed to be the precursor to his assassination.
The IDF have admitted they targeted him tonight. Because they know there will be no repercussions.

VA Dems are accusing VA Delegate Sam Rasoul of antisemitism because he condemns Netanyahu & zionism. So, I took his allegedly antisemitic quote & included it amongst 4 quotes by Israeli & Jewish scholars about Netanyahu & Zionism & asked readers to pick out Sam's.

Just hours ago, Islamophobic freaks like Laura Loomer were blaming the shooting on Islam and Muslims and immigrants, as ever, meanwhile the NYPD police officer killed was a Muslim. Awful. A pregnant widow. Awful.

As someone who has worked on policy lowering Washington’s GHG emissions through land-use, methane and hydro fluorocarbon mitigation policies, this is very concerning.
The Trump administration wants to reverse a 2009 EPA finding that greenhouse gases endanger people. The finding is the basis for much of the United States' climate change regulations.
Trump's EPA now says greenhouse gases don't endanger people

Pretty good thread. The laws we have in our region is still unsustainable. Time for electeds to be courageous and do the right thing!
i gave a talk at AIA seattle's transformative housing symposium on what social housing in seattle could look like...
it was an opp to talk about how bad TOD in the US is, and how seattle's building and zoning codes - while better than most of the US - are pretty bad for producing high quality homes

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.
Excellent 🧵 on this evening's NIH announcement of a dramatic reduction in indirect rates for research institutions, which amounts to a generational restructuring of the US research and development ecosystem. These cuts are effective immediately, not just for new grants but for existing ones.
