to all younger than 22, here is an actual (spectacular) letter to remind us what we are missing when we #text. @WSJ @BostonGlobe @nytimes

Letter from John Steinbeck to Marilyn Monroe and it made my day:)

I am certainly not a prominent figure in the Russian anti-war movement, and there are people here who have much more to say.
But this war is my responsibility, and I feel it's important to speak out

Won't be too long until "seaport" of Boston will daily look like it does during winter snow blizzard today. Yet, it's where developers build skyscrapers, as though luxury somehow protects them from #ClimateCrisis What we call magical thinking

[David Abel @davabel]

When a blizzard hits at high tide, this is what it looks like in a new neighborhood built at sea level, on landfill, in the bullseye of rising seas. This is Boston's Seaport.

Effects of one-child policy ripple through China – from trauma and pain of families who lost children to economic and social consequences. We'll talk about them @mocanyc with One Child Nation's @wangnanfu @LetaHong and @maya_ludtke at 6:30 tonight https://t.co/yMniajhfL2

Vermont might have more cows than people (perhaps?) but the people the state does have make good decisions. Might be the first utility in the world to #divest its own pension fund from fossil fuels. Way to go. @MothersOutFront

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

Almost unbelievable! The CEO of Vermont's biggest utility just announced they were divesting the company pension fund from fossil fuels. Not a church, not a college--a utility!!! Details to follow!

"Touching Home in China has such a fresh approach that it even captivated me, someone who has lived over a decade in the country and picked up countless books on the subject," writes China observer @jossailin https://t.co/FPHfrhQWcP … @primarysource @NCSSNetwork @AASAsianStudies

Not one I can name. Thanks @wutrain for recognizing the urgency of fixing this broken system. And no, can't say I've even seen Charlie (@MassGovernor) on the train.

Thanks @MarjorieDecker for testifying in support of ban on polystyrene containers. Recall Cambridge Public Schools got rid of polystyrene trays in cafeterias after young students spoke out against them. This led to start of composting in CPS. @MothersOutFront

[Marjorie Decker @MarjorieDecker]

Proud to have testified yesterday in support of H.3502, a bill I filed that would reduce environmental pollution by banning the use of polystyrene food containers. Changes like these signify MA’s continued commitment to reducing waste and protecting our environment.

You heard @RLSWrites DO NOT buy her book on Amazon until Amazon stops selling a t-shirt that uses domestic violence as a "punch" line. Just DON'T do it. How many authors are going to tell you not to buy their book? She means it. @womenjournos

This Chinese photographer's images remind us of demonstrators' hope and then the horror of June 4, 1989 in Beijing https://t.co/ywvVDQWkFT

[TouchingHomeChina @TouchingHomeChi]

Never forget the atrocities of June 4, 1989 in Beijing, even if censors are working hard in China to erase and silence this history and memory. https://t.co/GvS00MV66w
