American combat deaths in World War I: 54,000.
American soldiers killed by flu in World War I: 45,000.
They would have given anything for a flu vaccine.

Interesting post about the failure to provide safe water and sanitation to all, including in so-called "superpowers."
Hundreds of thousands of people in the US, if not more, also lack adequate #water services.

Me n Tom, going in for a hug. I awkwardly have a t shirt rolled up in my suit pocket. Tom is in front of a backdrop that says "Make Polluters Pay"

You guys I went to the Steyer event tonight and he was great.

He is the only person Chevron and PG&E and the Realtors are spending against, and that should tell you everything you need to know.

How come only the corrupt, incompetent women in Trump's cabinet are getting the boot, and not the corrupt, incompetent men?

Was anything less tasty than the pale green lima beans that used (?) to come in those cans of mixed vegetables?

Long line of folks waiting to see Tom Steyer speak in Santa Barbara last week.

I went to see Tom Steyer's town hall in Santa Barbara last week. The line wrapped around the block before the doors even opened. Standing room only inside. Hundreds of people couldn't get in.

Whether or not the media is saying it: Steyer has momentum. And I was very impressed. THREAD!🧵

Spring is popping in the Bay Area. Birded the hills yesterday: 49 species of birds, and lots of butterflies, including this beauty, which I think is a Lorquin's Admiral.

We all know Trump lies about everything ceaselessly and with impunity, but this is especially galling since it's been so obviously false for decades and because it's so dangerous to the entire planet.

Waking up to discover that evidence has been released proving something we all knew. The Supreme Court's efforts to stop the Obama clean power plant rules were rooted in explicit, corrupt efforts to protect the fossil fuel industry.

Prediction.
A decade from now, low-Earth orbit will be inaccessible after Starlink (now bankrupt) precipitates a massive #Kessler catastrophe. Years/generations will pass before new launches to #space are possible.
No #Moon missions; no #Mars missions.
#Musk's name is cursed (even more...).

I'm old enough to remember some senior Republicans who were excellent on the environment.

The official Republican lockstep position on ALL environmental issues is now just f*** the environment.

Yes, the Republicans -- every single one -- are environmental pillagers, happy to destroy rare ecosystems for a fast dollar.

His positions are all progressive. He's excellent on the environment. He isn't beholden to big corporate donors because he doesn't need or take their money.

Look, I'm certainly no authority on religion, but it seems to me that if your behavior, actions, and morals are at odds with the spiritual head of your religion, the problem may be you.
