"With a sprinkle of the seaweed in the feed, you can reduce [cows'] methane emissions by over 80% [...] in a commercial setting."

Cow burps cause 6% of the planet's warming 😳 But there's an algae that can cut the majority of cows' methane emissions.

@AlexiaAkbay, MPH '19, read about the algae as a YSPH student and is now harnessing its power as founder of @symbrosia. https://t.co/hRLW2ia6cx

Thank you @Inc for getting the word out on our efforts at Symbrosia! Red algae can stifle fermentation, essentially cutting the methane from cow burps @PeterKeatingNJ. https://t.co/Vx73veuWO8

I am really tired of foundations giving white-led orgs $$ to do some kind of scan where said white-led org interviews Black & brown leaders without compensating them, & then turns in our thoughts as their work. WTF. Stop allowing this.

22% of O'ahu (85,000 acres) is occupied by the US military. The median price for a single-family home is $1M, 50% of all homeless in Hawai'i are Native Hawaiian.

The Navy has now poisoned the water supply. Honolulu is being asked to ration water.

Something must to change.

Deeply Saddened to hear of one of my Kumu Haunani Kay Trask. She was as fierce as i have met.

In high school I watched in awe of her courages speeches on community television

She inspired me to question and to be bold

She is a mee aloha aina

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Joe Biden will win the popular vote by over 4 million votes. The Democratic nominee for president has now won the popular vote in 7 out of the last 8 elections. One person, one vote. Democracy must rule.

Yes. We should abolish the electoral college.

[Evan Weber 🌅🔥 @evanlweber]

The progressive movement busted our asses for a nominee who wasn’t our top choice after the entire establishment consolidated against us, young ppl & Black ppl delivered the margin of victory in key states, but now we’re being blamed for the moderates who lost re-election? 🙄

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

Florida passsed $15 minimum wage by 22 points and Biden lost the state by 3 points. In case you're wondering, his position is $15 minimum wage. Obvious conclusion: DEMOCRATS SUCK AT MAKING THEIR OWN CASE. #Election2020
