Before the Memphis Police Dept. releases the video of 5 MPD officers murdering #TyreNichols during a routine traffic stop, and that heinous video inevitably goes viral, I want to amplify THIS video of Tyre LIVING his best life. 🛹👑🙏🏿😔✊🏿

I love diners and I love bookstores.

Why do bookstores always combine with coffee shops?

We need some bookstore diners.

@MaryHeglar Highly recommend these. I can wear them most of the day listening to music, for calls, etc. without ear soreness. Easy to adjust volume, pause, and go backward and forward while running. Sound quality is decent – like I can hear bass. Also on sale rn

Utilities: Building out renewable energy is hard

Also utilities: Let's create an entirely new process behind closed doors to build out more fossil fuels

[Maggie Shober @maggie_shober]

TVA's CEO is one step closer to making a major resource decision without input from TVA's regulator. TVA published a final EIS to replace the Cumberland coal plant northwest of Nashville with a ~1.5GW gas plant and new gas pipeline.

@JonWKnowles @vgo___ Bonus points if the music genre syncs up with your destination 🌟

@vgo___ Walking through airports with music is my favorite travel tip!

Today we launched a utility front group ad tracker. The tool shows how much utility front groups are spending on Facebook and Instagram advertising and where they’re spreading misinformation.

“Hopefully this will influence a new form of capitalism that doesn’t end up with a few rich people and a bunch of poor people,” Yvon told me. “We are going to give away the maximum amount of money to people who are actively working on saving this planet.”https://t.co/22q91WK2Hz

All that is to say, because of @saba_h's great influence, and just general awesomeness, she should 100% be a guest on @NormalGossip! Paging @mckinneykelsey and @alexlaughs!

[Kate Tracy @katetracy__]

It's true! Saba influenced me. I've loved every episode... except for the squirrel one...😵‍💫

[Saba Hamedy @saba_h]

.@NormalGossip is the best podcast, I have made 20+ people listen to it and now they all text me about it regularly. Dreaming of being a guest @mckinneykelsey @alexlaughs !!!! https://t.co/1v9AljlKnF

Maggie is the GOAT

[Maggie Shober @maggie_shober]

@xiaowang1984 @taitdl Lol, there isn't a single "rate structure" for TVA. Rates are set by 153 local utilities, none of them are 6-7c/kWh. My bills from Knoxville Utilities Board are 12.4 + $21/mon fixed fee https://t.co/KL8rgt2TWZ.

Don't come on my twitter with misinformation.

@MissPiggy Miss Piggy! Let’s just shop our closets! The chicest clothes we have are the ones we already own 🤍

[Maggie Shober @maggie_shober]

Meanwhile, as TVA Board members were talking about "ethics" and "inclusion" young people w @sunrisemvmt trying to get the federal utility to take action about climate change and their future were being "handled" by the police. Everyone associated w TVA should be ashamed.

[Chandra Farley @ChandraFarley]

It’s official! I am honored to join Mayor @Andre4Atlanta' administration as the Chief Sustainability Officer! This is a time of unprecedented potential to deliver the benefits of equitable climate action for our City.

A TVA Board member just said... "I hate that we have to take everyone's time to argue with the print."

Live view of me going to battle to defend the press + public data (that is...TVA's data).

[Kate Tracy @katetracy__]

Watching TVA's Board meeting, I can't help but think about how utilities like to use their renewable energy investment as a greenwashing talking point.

What if they actually significantly invested in renewables? ...They certainly wouldn't have to spend so many ad dollars. 👇

[Maggie Shober @maggie_shober]

Oh this is rich, TVA CEO says TVA owns the plant, but doesn't "own" the coal ash?
