I started an essay series at @regenfoundation to unpack what it means when we peg economic value to ecological regeneration. The ethical and technical challenges are vibrant and complex. I’m releasing the first essay “Undualing” soon. Here’s a rant 🧵 to whet your palates. 1/8

Some notes for Joe Manchin:

1. DC Statehood does NOT require a constitutional amendment. Congress CAN grant 700,000 Americans a vote & fair representation.

2. You said you don't support #ForThePeopleAct as written, but you co-sponsored it in 2019. What gives @Sen_JoeManchin?

Tomorrow is #GivingTuesday - If you don't have a charity you're supporting, please consider @PotomacRiver. I volunteered w/ PRKN last summer, and they're an incredibly effective advocate for clean water regulations on the Potomac

It took nearly 3 weeks for the National Capital Region to go from 0 to 1,000 cases of COVID-19. It took 3 days for the region to go from 1,000 to 2,000 cases in DC, MD, and VA. This is a rapidly evolving and escalating emergency which is now surrounding the nation’s capital.

Following my last article, here's a different way of looking at COVID19 in each country and state. The implications require swift action. https://t.co/fiOUZ6iQga

Bravo!
South Korea 🇰🇷 has set up ‘phone booths’ that can test people for the coronavirus in just 7 minutes. The country has earned praise for its mass testing amid the Covid19 pandemic.

You know what capitalism needs to thrive in the long run? A functioning government.

Do not reach out your hands.
Reach out your heart.
Reach out your words.
Reach out all the tendrils
of compassion that move, invisibly,
where we cannot touch.

Promise this world your love–
for better or for worse,
in sickness and in health,
so long as we all shall live.

Center down.

And when your body has become still,
reach out with your heart.
Know that we are connected
in ways that are terrifying and beautiful.
(You could hardly deny it now.)
Know that our lives
are in one another’s hands.
(Surely, that has come clear.)
