I just learned that more than 90% of new power installed worldwide is solar, and it's cheaper than coal, oil and gas! But of course, Big Oil is putting corporate profits ahead of our health & safety. Join me to demand a just clean energy transition! share.sierraclub.org/s/ivygapRi

🧵NEW PARADIGM ON THE DOORSTEP OF WW3
China will bail out the Russian economy to avoid collapse and help Russia invade more countries.
Russia depleted immense manpower and wealth invading Ukraine. $300B frozen, $500B spent on war, over 1 million casualties, economy on the brink.

NATO is preparing for simultaneous invasions of European NATO states by Russia and Taiwan by China in 2027.
Blowback for appeasing Russia is WW3.
Biden needed to tell Putin that Russian forces crossing into Ukraine will be eliminated if he invaded.
Instead he promised no military intervention.

Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified
There is no evidence the footage was deceptively manipulated, but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel conspiracy theories about Epstein's death.

The latest budget proposal from the United States will have devastating impacts for ordinary US Citizens. Millions will lose healthcare (eg Husky Health in CT). Hospitals will close. Disaster relief, food assistance, parks, etc will be cut. To oppose it, go to: docs.google.com/document/u/0...
