YSE MEM candidate 2022. Climate policy. Good food, cheap wine, rock climbing, and an occasional knitting project. Opinions are my own.

Today we announced that Epicurious is cutting out beef. It won’t appear in new Epi recipes, articles, newsletters, or on social. This isn’t a vendetta against cows or people who eat them. It’s a shift about sustainability; not anti-beef but pro-planet. https://t.co/yQ8PrtChtE

Conservatives will pretend “unity” means Democrats have to let them keep ill-gotten gains, leave saboteurs in positions of power, but nobody has to pretend to believe them.

While existing initiatives are likely to make headway, and Democratic majorities in Congress could affect certain legislation, trade groups don't anticipate major changes due to a crowded agenda. https://t.co/yoDhwFO6HS

I swear if Twitter had been around in the Industrial Revolution there’d be a tweet with 50k Likes like “if we can’t employ tiny orphans anymore, who will we send into the smallest mine shafts and between the sharp parts of the big machines???”

There was a bigger police presence at the capitol to stop Jane Fonda from sitting in about climate change.

@ everyone saying dems can't win with progressive platforms -

deep canvassing. listen don't tell. if all you care about is what people hear and not meaningfully impacting their lives, we'll just keep falling short.

@JoeBiden @JoeBiden @SpeakerPelosi @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer @SenSchumer This starts Monday.

[mike casca @cascamike]

this from @AOC is spot on, and no one who seriously cares about the future of the democratic party should disagree with it. https://t.co/l0mgZ5MqsH

Celebrating election results, but come Monday the Zero Waste Project @clf is going to #LeanIn. We have *maybe* ten years to save the planet, so we need to turn off the plastic spigot, compost, and shut down landfills and incinerators NOW. Are you with me, peeps? 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

[John Hite @JohniHite]

@SpeakerPelosi time to get the grassroots deep canvassers knocking on doors every day until 2022. At a living wage.

[Pastor Ben @BenjaminPDixon]

The Lincoln Project got $67,000,000 to do literally nothing and the Black organizers that helped Biden win probably are short on rent this month.

[John Hite @JohniHite]

This. So much this. If the Tea-Party can teach the left anything, it's that deep investment in off-election years is absolutely key to building a strong, lasting coalition.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

How do you make it less effective? Invest in year-round deep canvassing. Data shows that this kind of work helps blunt the force of racial resentment at the polls.

If you’re always running away from convos about race, then the only ppl owning it are GOP. You’ll lose.

[John Hite @JohniHite]

wow this tweet hit

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The audacity of Shell asking YOU what YOU’RE willing to do to reduce emissions. 🙄

They’re showing you RIGHT HERE how the suggestion that indiv choices - not systems - are a main driver of climate change is a fossil fuel talking point.

Yes, make good choices. Reign in FF corps.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This isn’t news, Kellyanne.

Our differences are exactly why I joined Biden’s Climate Unity Task Force - so we could set aside our differences & figure out an aggressive climate plan to address the planetary crisis at our feet.

Trump doesn’t even believe climate change is real.

Reminder: Defunding the police is good climate policy. Here's why: https://t.co/GxhNWFmfmo

NEWS: The Vermont House of Reps just voted to override @GovPhilScott's veto of a major climate action bill, the Global Warming Solutions Act. If the Senate also votes to override, climate action will become the law of the land in VT! Statement: https://t.co/4peK0siJih #vtpoli
