As a Christian, I’m infuriated the Olympics mocked The Last Supper by replacing The Lord and his Apostles with people Jesus would’ve told us to love and respect.

“Over the past few years, as the world has begun a belated sprint toward renewable energy, we’ve gotten a pretty clear picture of what is often called the energy transition.
It is considerably harder to picture the equivalent for food—a food transition.” https://t.co/kJXNqGj1jM

If a system is fundamentally flawed, reform might not be the answer. ‚Time and time again, we saw examples where international humanitarian organisations relied on the labour, risk-taking, access, and knowledge of local actors – all while maintaining their subordination.‘

"Kamala Harris is not interested in crusading from the outside; her mission is to reform the system from within."

This is the secret to understanding Kamala Harris. Check out @jamilahking's 2018 profile on the prospective Democratic nominee. https://t.co/K1LddE4sxb

Statt in das Schienennetz investiert die @DB_Bahn in Online Sicherheit. Das hat den doppelt positiven Effekt, dass wegen des absurden/zwielichtigen Verfahrens gleich viel weniger Leute Bahn fahren und so die Schiene entlastet wird 👏🏾 Genial! Fehlt noch das neue #Deutschlandticket

Following floods in 1953, with almost 2,000 dead, the Dutch government built an ambitious flood-defence system called the Delta Works. Cost was equivalent of 20% of GDP at the time. No government today is doing anything close in response to climate crisis! https://t.co/fXteCxC3ye

Crisis makes radical ideas relevant.
Radical ideas inspire social movements.
Social movements amplify crisis.

@naftalibennett Not murdering everyone in 3 days is not the same as upholding international law ‚more than seven months into Israel’s response, the issue of whether Israel is violating international law—or even committing war crimes—is coming to a head.‘ @ForeignAffairs @oonahathaway
