On any given day, there are 600,000+ frozen embryos housed in fertility clinics and labs across the US. All it takes to dispose of or donate one is signing a form. No interference, shaming, protests, or terrorists. Never say this is about life and not women's freedom.

This story just keeps getting worse: “Previously unreported documents show what Exxon said publicly about climate change was very different from how it approached the issue after 2006.” wsj.com/business/energ…

Last week, NYC hosted Climate week. Today, it’s underwater. Every day, it's becoming more obvious: Climate change isn't a far-off threat - it's impacting us right here, right now. #NYCFlood

As climate records are falling like dominoes, it's more important than ever for people to understand the risks of inaction AND the solutions that could lead us to a better future. Read or listen to my convo with Sean Sublette here: stltoday.com/news/nation-wo…

Good afternoon (or morning, or evening). I went dark yesterday, really dark. But I managed to sleep and I have some clarity about the Al Ahli hospital massacre that I want to share with you. I'll only tweet this rambling thread today and then log off. Please read and share.

The The Borough Press has pre-empted Animal Sounds, an eco-thriller by climate journalist Emma Pattee (Emma Pattee) about the immediate aftermath of 'The Big One' bookbrunch.co.uk/page/article-d… (£)

The most blow-your-brains-out American moment of this interview is when this ex-official surmises that more State Dept. officials would speak up if there were universal healthcare and government employees felt that they could afford to lose their jobs.
