@profgalloway Flying a private jet and then buying carbon credits to "neutralize" the emissions is like dumping chemicals in a river and then writing a check to help clean it up. Or throwing some money at your kids and telling them it's too big a sacrifice for you to fly commercial.

Kodak bowed to Chinese pressure and deleted its Instagram post w/ “Orwellian dystopia” wording. That’s 2x the Orwellianism. So let the world see Patrick’s photos of Xinjiang

Bob, What to do when your local newspaper is owned by a hedge fund sucking the profits out of their papers' cities? Subscribe and sigh? Or somehow...tip your news server directly?

[Bob Garfield @Bobosphere]

This week OTM focuses on the relentless infirmity spreading border to border, coast to coast. Many are succumbing.

It is a blight that sickens, enfeebles and increasingly kills ...newspapers.

Luckily, all we stand to lose is connection to our communities.

And democracy.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Let this front page serve as a reminder of how white supremacy is aided by - and often relies upon - the cowardice of mainstream institutions.

@ElleWild_writer Well it’s summer. So the administration’s math is: Summer + Concentration Camp = Summer Camp.

This photo says so much about where we’re headed. We need to stop subsidizing oil & gas yesterday. Put a #PriceOnPollution

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

"Bizarre" hardly begins to describe this photo from Greenland. It's well past time to put a #PriceOnPollution. #climatechange @henryfountain https://t.co/Uydqm7eNcX

Relying on that money brings other constraints. Warren can take on tech companies because she's not looking for tech money. Candidates who rely on Silicon Valley for funding can't be as antagonistic to it in policy, which may make it harder for them to meet this moment.

@JamesGutherie @TheEconomist I’ve seen this image before—through a microscope, bacteria in a petri dish!

A new kind of delay: In France, 149 passengers were preparing to take off for London when authorities ordered their Ryanair Boeing 737 impounded. The reason? The budget carrier owed money. https://t.co/eKZdas3GV1 #odd

#StopTheFCC today https://t.co/M3nuH03aTW

[Fight for the Future @fightfortheftr]

#NetNeutrality is NOT DEAD YET. Congress has stopped FCC votes before. Do NOT give up!

1) RETWEET this to help spread the word that we can still stop this.

2) CALL your lawmakers: https://t.co/S8d0OxZQe0

3) PROTEST at Verizon stores on Dec 7: https://t.co/OvdNJe0Idh

No, General, the statues aren't "history" -- just tributes to traitors who fought for slavery. Removal erases nothing but misplaced honor.

"We should note [company covered in story] is one of NPR's underwriters"--The end of pretty much every @NPR story now. #CorporateCaptured

It's not easy being a climate scientist in a red state. My latest FB post shares a heart-felt msg from a colleague: https://t.co/CvNYMgYcGE

Pulling out of #ParisAccord makes no sense on any level--environmental, economic, jobs, competitiveness, national interest, or anything else

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

A majority of people in each of the 50 states supports staying in Paris climate pact. Red, blue, purple. All of them https://t.co/BzKQve2O8d

And, how can Trump be called a populist when he's so far out of step with the majority of Americans? https://t.co/K5YmDxfWm7

[EDF @EnvDefenseFund]

Why is Pres Trump continuing his environmental attacks when a majority of Americans disapprove? https://t.co/ANyGSjxx5p

Orwellian term of the year: violently removing a customer from your plane="reaccommodating" him. @united

45's science adviser office--PhDs gone, down to 1 guy with a BA in PoliSci. Willful ignorance. This won't end well. https://t.co/IVoXZnI3Ig
