In celebration of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, @VP met with AA and NHPI White House staff.

tl;dr on why @DFCgov is all over the clean energy opportunity in Southeast Asia and the Indo-Pacific -

☑️ massive demand
☑️ big climate targets --> good policy & reg
☑️ offshore wind for major urban load centers
☑️ a hungry private sector

First week at @UCBerkeley, my grad cohort went on a hike guided by a leading climate scientist.
Someone asked: if you could summarize the situation we're in for the layperson, what would you say?

He answered: "we're fucked".

What he said next made me the optimist I am today...

[InterAction @InterActionOrg]

BREAKING: This evening alone, the United States of America has been struck by no fewer than 6 natural disasters.

A thread on these events. 🧵

First, a massive flash flood has torn through Yellowstone National Park destroying roads and bridges.

Incredibly promising meetings across the Egyptian Cabinet, and with key private sector doers in the clean energy space. Momentum to #COP27 is palpable and growing. cc @amcham_egypt @USEmbassyCairo

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

George W. Bush and Donald Trump both lost the popular vote and appointed five of these judges who will shape American life (and, on climate, life on Earth) for decades. Some democracy.

With the extreme heat crippling India and Pakistan, I'm re-upping our stories on the global inequities of climate impacts.

First from India, from 2018, about how extreme heat punishes the poor. https://t.co/rr7PjSZCkW

[Jake Levine @jakeclevine]

Today was a big day for @DFCgov's ongoing work to build climate resilience into the work we do in our development finance overseas. Our Board approved more than $250M in climate-related funds and financial transactions. A little highlights reel below 👇

[Ed Yong is not here @edyong209]

🚨To mark 2 yrs of the pandemic, I wrote about the sheer scale of death, and how/why so much of the US has normalized to it.

The official toll nears 1 million. The NYT called 100k deaths an “incalculable loss”.

What is 10 times incalculable? 1/

[Ayisha Siddiqa @Ayishas12]

Colonialism has been explicitly and unequivocally interlinked with climate change in this IPCC impact report. Vulnerable communities are vulnerable precisely because of colonial history. Climate change is a residual effect of years of inequality and destruction

"Did they have pre-existing conditions" is the new "but what was she wearing"?

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Would you help me tweet this around the world?

Kindness matters
But kindness does not = justice

Civility counts
But civility is not the humane response to injustice
Justice is

Love is essential
But love is not a passive, weeping bystander

Love puts in work.
