6. In North Carolina, S 514 would require teachers and college faculty to report to a parent if their child displays signs of “gender nonconformity.” — PolitiTweet.org

5. In Tennessee, HB 800 would prohibit public K-12 schools from adopting any instructional materials that “promote, normalize, support, or address lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) issues or lifestyles.” — PolitiTweet.org

4. In Arizona, HB 2011 would force students to seek their parents’ permission before joining any school club “involving sexuality, gender or gender identity.” — PolitiTweet.org

3. In South Carolina, H 4605 forbids teachers from “subject[ing]” students to “controversial and age-inappropriate topics” like “gender identity or lifestyles.” — PolitiTweet.org

@PENamerica 2. In Kansas, HB 2662 would make it a Class B misdemeanor for a teacher to use any material in the classroom depicting “homosexuality.” Not sexually explicit depictions of homosexuality. ANY DEPICTION WHATSOEVER — PolitiTweet.org

1. It's not just Florida. There are now 15 BILLS IN 8 STATES prohibiting discussions of LGBTQ identities in schools, according to a new report by @PENamerica https://t.co/0dOgQS0ZQQ — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook's News Feed has a bunch of far-right propaganda masquerading as news. So they've renamed it "Feed" Problem solved! — PolitiTweet.org

@sciencetargets @Nestle But what about the corporate funding that SBTi itself receives? How does that not create a conflict? — PolitiTweet.org

8. The net zero movement in the corporate world has been very effective in generating positive PR and less effective in generating meaningful action on climate For more independent accountability journalism check out my newsletter It's free to sign up https://t.co/vfep5SsnCF — PolitiTweet.org

@Nestle 7. These companies claim to have their net zero plans validated by third parties, usually the Science-Based Targets Initiative (@sciencetargets) @sciencetargets, however, receives substantial funding from the corporations it evaluates https://t.co/PIE6m32bbb https://t.co/9Ib20Rapxn — PolitiTweet.org

6. @Nestle, for example, claims that it "will halve our greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050." But its pledge includes "no defined target for own emission reductions" Nestlé's plan is rated "very low" for transparency & integrity https://t.co/PIE6m32bbb https://t.co/vCyOu2RthG — PolitiTweet.org

5. While all these companies CLAIM to have a plan to reach net zero, collectively they've committed to eliminating just 20% of their emissions. Half of the companies studied have not committed to any specific reductions. https://t.co/PIE6m32bbb — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

4. @newclimateinst evaluated 25 major corporations who have taken climate pledges. None of the 25 companies were rated "high" for transparency or integrity. Most performed VERY poorly. https://t.co/PIE6m32J0J — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

3. It's very easy to MAKE a pledge. It's much harder to CREATE a credible plan to achieve net zero. And it's even harder to EXECUTE against that plan. A new study shows that corporate rhetoric around net zero is mostly smoke and mirrors https://t.co/PIE6m32bbb — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

2. @Amazon is very into climate pledges. It created The Climate Pledge to encourage other companies to pledge to reach net zero by 2040 And they renamed the home of the NHL's Kraken "Climate Pledge Arena" But Amazon's CO2 emissions have been INCREASING https://t.co/PIE6m32bbb — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

1. Anytime you turn on the TV, you'll see ads promoting the efforts of major corporations to achieve "net zero" emissions. They want you to know they are taking the climate crisis seriously. But are these companies actually taking meaningful action? https://t.co/PIE6m32bbb — PolitiTweet.org

@MayorBowser I believe that schools and children should be prioritized. Bowser is keeping the mask mandate for schools. If there is too much circulation to allow kids to go to school without masks, we should be doing everything possible to reduce the spread, including the vaccine mandate — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Don't understand why @MayorBowser is lifting the vaccine mandate for businesses a few weeks after it went into effect. The virus is still circulating widely and vaccines are the best way to keep people safe. Why is DC making it more convenient to remain unvaccinated? — PolitiTweet.org
