@BrownriceInt This is devastating for our business. We will need to find another provider once this is resolved. I can’t believe we’ve been relying on hosting with a single point of failure. Very disappointing. In the meantime, what work-arounds are you preparing if this isn’t fixed today?

[Robin Beck @beckcommar]

@BrownriceInt Any sense of the timing to fix this? No website and especially no email is hard to deal with.

Do I know anyone planning to protest at the NRA convention in Houston?

[Robin Beck @beckcommar]

@united Yes. Did that. A couple people put on masks briefly, got mad at me, and then took them off again. Shouldn’t be my responsibility to enforce the law. Crew saw these people without masks throughout the flight. Did nothing.

Pop quiz: what is the single most direct and effective way to cut inflation? Answer: increasing taxes, especially big taxes on wealth. Seriously, how is this not a big part of the conversation right now?

Honest question to #climate people: are we sure #BuildBackBetter is a good thing in terms of emissions? Seems like the net effect will be a huge increase in emissions compared to not passing any of the bills. https://t.co/1mrCyTKPWJ

Homepage of @nytimes says "both sides" feel like @POTUS push for a deal is a "betrayal" and "broken promises." Read the article and it only describes progressives feeling that way. https://t.co/QaxfMKLhVs

#BlackLivesMatter That's it, that's the tweet.

This is so important. Read today's op-ed by @StephanieKelton https://t.co/Bn4kMVV1KZ

Co-wrote a piece on why $90M raised last year by @blklivesmatter is nowhere near enough. https://t.co/WRHznRp0mY

Moses killed an Egyptian guard (a cop) and buried him in the desert after he saw the guard beating up an enslaved person. The story of Jewish liberation is poignant, relevant, and too often whitewashed. #ChagSameach

The phrase "Net Zero" is code for "Not Acting." Try swapping them in any headlines, makes things a lot clearer. As in "Oil companies commit to Not Acting by 2050." Good explanation in this piece: https://t.co/eaMwlIW68C

Texas right now has a lot to teach us: why it is better to be interconnected than isolated, why we need to do everything we can to slow the climate crisis, and why we need to prepare together for what’s to come.

@JasonWhitely @tommatzzie @GregAbbott_TX Fossil fuel fail.

“And whether it be done by treaty, by the sword, by purchase, by the exercise of complete dominion adverse to the right of occupancy, or otherwise, its justness is not open to inquiry in the courts." Sickening. #ProtectOakFlat (3/3)

A federal judge, appointed by Obama, quoted the following statement in his ruling to allow the destruction of a sacred Apache site: (1/3)

“The exclusive right of the United States to extinguish Indian title has never been doubted.” (2/3)

[Robin Beck @beckcommar]

Why is @POTUS defending Trump’s last minute push to finalize the transfer of the sacred site Oak Flat to a private mining company at all? He could stop this at any time. #ProtectOakFlat #ApacheStronghold

[Robin Beck @beckcommar]

Lawyers for the Biden administration won a case today to forcibly take literally the most sacred Apache site and give it to a copper mining company over the objection of tribal spiritual leaders. Horrific. https://t.co/9UGXnnbZis
