PM Mia Motley of Barbados, real talk. If you only watch one #COP26 speech, make it this one.
"Try harder."
So proud of my girl Bailey!! Check out this awesome field trip.
Seaweed could be the magical tool we need to help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. World Wildlife Fund is making efforts to scale up seaweed farming and make an impact on environmental pollutants. Click the link here to learn more: worldwildlife.org/industries…

Historic day: Jewel Bronaugh (@VaAgComm) testified before Senate Ag. If confirmed, Bronaugh would be first Black woman and first woman of color to serve as deputy secretary of USDA since Abraham Lincoln founded the dept in 1862.
Excited for my @WWFInstitute colleagues to be rolling this analysis out today!
....not at all bitter they didn't use my alt title:
Mister Postman, is there a lettuce in your bag for me?
What if you could get fresh fruit and vegetables from local farmers delivered along with your mail? We looked at how USPS could bridge the gap between farmers and food shoppers. Check out a program we’re proposing that could help people and nature. worldwildlife.org/stories/ho…
Really nothing against the princesses, but why couldn’t @Disney have immortalized a whole crew of say, strong, awesome diverse Disney doctors or engineers?

‘The court has developed a strong outlook that most Americans do not share. [It’s] the result less of any election outcome than of circumstance and political tactics...potential to cause widespread voter frustration & constitutional showdown.’ nytimes.com/2020/10/27/brief… @DLeonhardt
Pretty excited that I get to hang out with @NoFoodLeftBhind for an hour and talk about our kids and food. Join us! #DMVFoodRecoveryWeek

We need a food system that conserves and restores nature while ensuring there is enough to feed current and future generations, nutritiously. A ‘Planet-Based Diet’ is high in human health benefits and low in environmental impacts. wwf.to/36K9xoZ

🚨 A THREAD on children + food insecurity during the pandemic since this is getting totally lost in the massive amount of Covid-19 news and noise.
Here's a new chart from @hamiltonproj kick off:

It was in this very room under this very portrait of Lincoln that @MichelleObama launched @letsmove in 2010.

This is pure evil.
Trump is failing to reunite families that he ripped apart—and in some cases even forcing parents to PAY TO SEE THEIR KIDS.
We’re talking about moms and dads whose kids were sent away to camps.
REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU VOTE IN NOVEMBER. gq.com/story/immigration-dna…

This isn’t over. Thousands of kids have been ripped from their parents with no plan to reunite them. And now @realdonaldtrump wants to create new detention camps for families. Separating kids is unacceptable – but indefinite imprisonment of families is still cruel & inhumane.

Do you eat food? Then you can help fight climate change by wasting less of it. Food loss and waste contributes billions of tons of greenhouse gases each year. Learn more at worldwildlife.org/land #foodwaste #GCAS2018 #StepUp2018
