@GovKathyHochul how could you cancel congestion pricing? Awful decision from a concerned NYer

Something I want to get off my chest: if you take the most charitable interpretation of SCOTUS' response to the latest scandals they are in fact far worse actors. Brief thread:

@Yale I’m disgusted as an alum

[StopAntisemitism @StopAntisemites]

Yale is hosting an atrocious antisemite and homophobe - Houria Bouteldja - on their campus this Thursday April 6th.

Examples of her horrifying bigotry:
- "Zionists to the Gulag" (wishing harm to 90% plus of Jews globally)

- "Killing an Israeli is killing two birds with one stone - eliminating the oppressor and oppressed"

- Manipulation has one goal: to share the Shoah, to hold up repression of the Palestinians"

- "Mohamed Merah is me and I am him" (Merah is the terrorist who shot up a Jewish school in 2012 Toulouse)

- "One does not recognize a Jew because he tells you he is jewish, but by his strong desire to blend into whiteness"

"Ideology that supports mixed race couples is rotten"

"Homophobia is fierce resistance to western imperialism"

"An Arab man that is coming out is an act of submission to white supremacy"

We have no words @Yale @YaleFaculty how this speaker was selected, vetted, and approved to poison the minds of your students.

@buccocapital How to blow up a pipeline.

Made me much more sympathetic to climate activism and changed my view on how activism movements really can move the needle

@oaklandpoliceca I was intentionally hit by a car on Friday night. I filed a police report on Saturday and haven't received word back. I've called the department 4 times on 3 different phone numbers. I have video of the car driving away. There are many news reports. Can you help?

@XRBoston @maura_healey What’s wrong w building a substation?

“12.7% of current childhood asthma nationwide is attributed to gas stove use, which is similar to the childhood asthma burden attributed to secondhand smoke exposure.”

[Joseph Allen @j_g_allen]

New research on gas stoves and childhood asthma

--> 12% of current US childhood asthma attributed to gas stove use
--> comparable to children’s risk of being exposed to secondhand smoke
--> IL = 21.1%; CA = 20.1%; NY = 18.8%; MA = 15.4%; PA = 13.5%

TVA had rolling blackouts last week. They are ~3% wind & solar. They ended energy efficiency programs & added gas plants to try to cope w/ extremes. It didn't work.

"Adding more fossil fuels to the grid won’t prevent blackouts."

@JesseJenkins Feels like a great idea, but is there a risk of having wires next to natural gas pipes? if there’s a spark and some gas leaking at the same time, you’ve got a big problem @JesseJenkins

[Russell Heller @russellheller_]

@JesseJenkins I don’t understand why we are thanking China with headlines like this when they’re still building new coal generation. Emissions matter, and coal is locking those emissions in for the next 40 years

@tbonier What were the numbers in the same period a year ago? Aren’t young people going to be the ones registering (older people likely to already be registered?) and more liberal?

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: 48 hours after 5 fellow Hill staffers and I were arrested for peacefully demanding climate negotiations reopen in the Senate, THEY ARE OPEN AGAIN!

We don’t have more details yet, but this was our first demand 🥳

@zdboren Is anyone doing research into hydroxyl radical geoengineering (e.g., releasing OH into the atmosphere to “scrub” methane)? Is this something that could work or is there some massive downside given that OH is a radical?

@SecGranholm @POTUS @ENERGY What are you able to do with the DPA? I worry that this announcement sounds great, but won't deliver domestic manufacturing

[Russell Heller @russellheller_]

@cleantechsonia @POTUS What are you actually able to do with the DPA to support manufacturing? There's very little funding available right? We need SEMA

[Russell Heller @russellheller_]

@kunoorojha What is actually happening with the DPA? What can biden do and where will funding come from? Unfortunately feels like a talking point without much action - can’t see how this will really move the needle
