@rmfrosch @NoemaMag Hey @rmfrosch Thanks for your post! There are so many trade-offs and challenges with carbon removal. But also so many great groups in Kern County working to center community interests in this transition.

[Dara O'Rourke @DaraORourke]

Phasing out fossil fuels is job #1. But we will likely also need carbon removal. Can we transition from carbon emissions to carbon removal in an equitable and safe way? Check out my recent article: https://t.co/zZqBsDFgq1

@nils_gilman I'm skeptical as well. Do you have thoughts on where the counterculture moved? And what about the decamping of the Bitcoin-Libertarian maximalists to TX and FL?

I am relieved that Chauvin was found guilty. But this is not true justice. This is the start of accountability.

[Conor Friedersdorf @conor64]

IMHO, after vaccinating Americans ASAP, the United States should help vaccinate other countries as fast as possible too, as a major foreign aid project.

Question: What college major would you recommend a high school senior apply to today (for best foundational knowledge, skills, frameworks to best position them for the future)?

[Dara O'Rourke @DaraORourke]

Democracy is on the ballot. Science is on the ballot. Fear is on the ballot. Who we want to be... is on the ballot.

Thank you @iamwill and @IAMJHUD for this powerful video.
