For those who haven't seen my new PBS docuseries, The Food Principle, I've made a short video to share a bit about what drives the show, who you’ll meet, where we’ll travel together and what you can expect to take away from it.

I'd love any feedback befo…https://t.co/r59Dw5spbJ

In researching Season II for The Food Principle, I’ve come to meet George Matysik and Jessica Bautista at Share Food in my old hometown, Philly.

Their team is doing heroic work convening community and fighting for food security in Philly and beyond.

Thanks Laura! I'll tune in tomorrow. I've been thinking a lot about cities and the fact that they'll house 70% of humanity by 2050. Lots of potential material as I look ahead to Season II of The Food Principle. https://t.co/vJ9BRNovmS

While each episode of The Food Principle has been great, Part 3: Hills, Hollers & Healing deserves a special shout-out.

It’s our 1st filmed in the U.S. (Appalachia) and features 4 remarkable female community leaders using food as a vehicle for healing a…https://t.co/MZNezwGt5m

The great American poet Wallace Stevens wrote: “After the final no there comes a yes. And on that yes the future world depends.” Today, the US finally said yes to climate action.

Let us embrace this moment as a tipping point for climate action – in America and around the world.

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

34 years and 40 days ago, Jim Hansen broke the news of global warming to the U.S. Senate.

Finally, today, they act

It's late, it's deeply compromised, and it's also a great victory for all who have fought so long and hard.
Such thanks to all of you, and on to the next battles

An astonishing number of Republicans and former Trump aides have calmly, factually testified under oath that the entire country was put at risk by the front-runner for the 2024 Republican nomination.

Average list price for a unit of insulin:

Australia: $6.94
UK: $7.52
France: $9.08
Germany: $11
Canada: $12
Japan: $14.40
United States $98.70

This is what happens when Big Pharma buys off a country’s political system.

None of this is acceptable. It has to change.

Joe Biden should definitely declare a climate emergency; Hillary Clinton was going to in 2017. It's just common sense https://t.co/YFYfyvQVza

Big Oil's Manchinian candidate keeps Congress's record intact: no real climate legislation ever.

Excited to see my byline in @TIME (twice) today. Wrote about one of my favorite places: Japan's revived Setouchi Islands and the world's longest suspension bridge in the Czech Republic (COVER image).

Thanks to my TIME editors @brekkefletch and @jenniduggan.
