@rshindell I favor a solution that passes through Pittsburgh twice, with a show each time. The traveling balladeer problem solved.

World Bank and other MDBs have been too slow in shifting to clean energy investments. Who is going to finance the rapid shift in low- and middle-income countries?

[The Big Shift Global @bigshiftglobal]

MDBs are blocking the #ParisAgreement ❌ Investments in fossils have gone down in recent years, but it's too little too late. We need them to shift public finance out of fossils & into clean energy. Here are our expectations for #COP27: https://t.co/eLxXaIBwyl #StopFundingFossils

I agree, but as a member of the US electorate I don't feel in a good position to comment on anyone's political woes.

[Mary Louise Kelly @NPRKelly]

Listening to @BBCWorld lead with speculation that Boris Johnson may be eyeing a return as PM and all I can think is, where have the grown-ups gone? Is there no one sensible left in Britain?

if this isn't truly a Ukrainian stamp, it should be.

[bill peduto @billpeduto]

Over 7 million Americans voted the other way.

Then came the formation and insurrection of a direct attack upon our Nation. MTG and others need to be held responsible for the the acts the played against our nation.

Happy to share that I have joined @GreengrantsFund and I'm excited to be part of an organization that understands that to address climate change, we must also center the human rights and organizing of the communities most impacted. 🌿🌳��🌎🌏💚

[Michael Kenney @DrMichaelKenney]

“Political advocacy groups affiliated with Charles Koch have also questioned why the U.S. is levying harsh sanctions on Russia and have suggested that a Ukrainian victory is not in America’s interest…”
