Um, hey @britishmuseum, it's come to my attention that your exhibit "China's hidden century" uses my translations of Qiu Jin's poetry, but you never contacted me for permission. Please note this is a copyright infringement! How are you going to fix this?? #NameTheTranslator

Did you know Mega-musical star Josephine Baker, was also a spy in World War 2 for the French Air Force!

In France, she found fame and freedom after fleeing racism in America. At the height of her career, she led a double life. She became a spy informing on the Nazis.

Despite what the news may showcase, it's not fruits & almonds causing the water shortage.

The American beef and dairy lobby has been in full force with misinformation on this issue for years.

But as the feds step in on the water crisis, the truth will reveal itself.

[Jenny Stojkovic @jennystojkovic]

The data is clear:

The American people are running out of water, because we are using it to feed cows.

And most of those cows aren't even in this country!

We are allowing other countries, like China & Saudi Arabia, to suck our resources dry for pennies.

[Jenny Stojkovic @jennystojkovic]

And what's even worse?

Nearly a decade ago, scientists across the country warned about this. But, beef and dairy lobbyists fought hard, and in response, invented the "almonds cause the drought" campaign to deflect from the looming water catastrophe.

"The top water-using activity in California is growing alfalfa....These are not the hardworking family farmers of yesteryear. They are giant agribusiness corporations pulling in $1.8 billion."

💧 For the first time in history, the US has entered a WATER war and the media refuses to cover the true cause: cows. A must-read on the water crisis. 🧵👇🏼
