It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

Food loss & waste isn’t just about perfectly good food not making it to our tables, or the money we waste when it gets thrown out instead of eaten. The real cost of food goes far beyond what we pay for it. Stop food loss & waste. For the people. For the planet! #FLWDay

.@world_wildlife is joining forces with @NRDC, @refed, @HarvardFLPC, and many others to call on Congress and the Biden administration: we need action to cut food loss and waste in half. Read our plan here: FoodWasteActionPlan.org
If a gas station raises prices from $2 to $5/gal during a hurricane they go to jail for price gouging. If a natgas provider raises prices from $2 to $200/MMBTU during a cold snap even though their costs didn't materially change, that seems just fine with Texas authorities. Why?

Since the pandemic, at least 1 in 4 US residents have found themselves food insecure. That's it. That's the tweet. (References in 🧵)

We should be working on a stimulus package right now, not moving forward with confirmation hearings for a judge who'll vote to take away your health care.
