Calling protected bike-lanes “vanity projects” should be automatic evidence that a political candidate has no idea what they’re talking about when it comes to public safety, urban mobility and congestion, geometry and urban space, fiscal responsibility, or the successful positioning of cities.

The Iran Deal worked because Obama put scientists and diplomats who understood centrifuges in the room. Then came the Trump era, which sent in real‑estate figures and assumed nuclear expertise could be improvised. Treat a nuclear negotiation like a condo deal and you get what we’re seeing now.

This is accurate. President Obama had gotten Iran under control without violence, but Trump tore up that deal because a Black man brokered it. The Strait was open before Trump’s War with Iran. The U.S. has sacrificed resources and lives for no reason whatsoever. This is what White America wanted.

Our fossil fuel economy is a house of cards and Trump's war in Iran is about to topple it. The need for a clean energy transition has never been clearer.
Trump's war in Iran is the embodiment of everything that's wrong with our dependence on fossil fuels — and it's highlighting just how vital the transition to renewables is.

Thanks for putting this together. Reminder: ‘While #ClimateAction is needed in every sector, animal farming stands out for three reasons:…’

1. It is unnecessary.
We need energy, transport, and housing for modern life, but animal products are different; we don't need them for survival or health.
The world's leading health authorities confirm that balanced plant-based diets are associated with significant health benefits.
2. We can start changing it today.
Unlike massive, slow-to-change infrastructure projects, transitioning our diets is something we can do right now. While most of us can't directly vote on major climate policies or influence the oil industry, our food choices are a powerful lever we all control.
3. It harms the planet in countless ways.
Beyond CO, and methane emissions, animal farming is the world's leading cause of soil degradation and biodiversity loss, the most serious threat to the oceans, the largest emitter of ammonia and nitrous oxide, one of the largest users of freshwater, the largest user of land, and the single biggest driver of rainforest destruction.
That's still not all. Animal agriculture is also the largest system of organized violence in history, a leading driver of world hunger, the world's leading cause of antibiotic resistance, and the single most risky human activity for pandemics.
What more reason do you need to stop funding all this violence and destruction?

This rejiggered food pyramid is in line with Kennedy’s previous signals that he will recommend increasing saturated fat in US diets as part of the “Make America healthy again” movement.
