Today is the Texas Observer all-staff meeting where (almost) the whole team gets together 😷 and discusses the future of our publication and upcoming ideas for stories. 🤠
We are also saying goodbye to @delger, who leaves us next month to be a Fellow at the #NYTimes.
1/ Today the #2024Election kicks off in earnest with #JoeBiden’s re-election bid announcement
There is 560 days to the #PresidentialElection. Much will happen, conditions will change but it as #Biden suggests a continuation of the battle for the soul of America
I’ll use this thread to comment periodically on the election over the next 80 weeks. It’s a long road to #ElectionDay2024, but the stakes couldn’t be higher
Peter Singer in an opinion piece for the #NYTimes:
“Boycotting this monstrous abuse of billions of #animals each year is a powerful reason for not eating meat, but the outsize contribution of meat and dairy products to #climatechange is for me now an equally urgent part of shifting to a plant-based diet.”
“[…] in the absence of meat and dairy taxes, the power lies with those who consume animal products, and with the institutions that provide food for many of us.” 🌱
