We live in a time when we no longer know how to respond to the scale of crime it is possible to commit. It began when not a single person was brought to justice for the financial crisis. Will anyone be brought to justice for throwing acid in the face of the democratic process?

@writerfarmer beware Beto on climate. Why? 1. He won't sign the No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge https://twitter.com/KateAronoff/status/1118564471600025603 …https://twitter.com/collinrees/status/1118575354543857664 …Emily Cunningham added,
Collin Rees @collinreesReplying to @KateAronoffIt also allows for donations (of any size) from the overwhelming majority of fossil fuel industry workers – anyone who's not an SEC-Named Executive – b/c they're not obstacles to climate action. Beto's campaign knows this extremely well, so his misrepresentation is pretty rich.2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -
Replying to @emahlee @writerfarmer
Good to know. I mostly find the inclusion of a conversation abt climate liability at all in the presidential race a fascinating expansion of the overton window.

Totally agree. But I think it's important to note Beto (and others) are reacting due to pressure from movements like @sunrisemvmt, and is doing his damndest to get away with taking fossil fuel money.
