Hi everyone, This coming weekend, I’ll be doing a swim from Manhattan to the Statue of Liberty and back—about 3 miles—to benefit the Navy SEAL Foundation. Im looking to raise over $2,000 for this cause and would appreciate—if you could donate $20 impact.navysealfoundation.org/fundraiser/458…
I've just re-read Erik Edstrom's (@EdstromErik) book "Un-American: A Soldier's Reckoning of Our Longest War". It’s an argument against the runaway military machine that powers the American Empire...
When recruiting talent, @McKinsey points to its lofty purpose and promises “wealth without guilt”. We talk to @PekingMike, @EdstromErik, and Rizwan Naveed to find out if those formidable talents are actually being used for good. Listen now bit.ly/3HVF2iA.
This was an amazing podcast. So well produced. I especially liked that @tmontague interviewed the brilliant former McKinsey consultants @EdstromErik and Rizwan Naveed, who were both featured in the book @waltbogdanich and I wrote, “When McKinsey Comes to Town”
I’m really excited to be speaking with @QuincyInst on #VeteransDay to discuss dissent and the importance of changing America’s relationship with its #Military. 🇺🇸

Holy cow. @CBSSunday did a great job talking about McKinsey, with clutch interviews by @katieporteroc and former McKinsey consultants @EdstromErik and @GarrisonLovely - so grateful.

Thousands of Afghan allies narrowly missed being evacuated during the frantic U.S. withdrawal from the country. In the half year since, only a handful of their applications for entry on urgent humanitarian grounds have been processed. Most were denied. nyti.ms/3HYfw9f
“The ‘neutralization’ program continued until Dr. King’s death. As late as March 1968, FBI agents were being instructed to neutralize Dr. King because he might become a ‘messiah’ who could ‘unify, and electrify, the militant black nationalist movement’…” (1/2)

Do you ever ask yourself what the military needs $778 billion a year for?
Check out my article and video that was published in the @StoughtonJourna about #AfghanistanWar veteran and critically acclaimed author @EdstromErik, who served as the Presidential Escort Platoon Leader under @BarackObama in 2008. wickedlocal.com/story/journal-…
“The biggest misunderstanding Americans have about the war is that there is some kind of benefit to Americans at home." — EMN Senior Fellow @EdstromErik bit.ly/32iDhsV
But when @McKinsey does serve these industries--as a percentage of billable hours--the topics they serve are not to mitigate the climate crisis or #decarbonize, it is to entrench the status quo and knowingly, predictably exacerbate the climate crisis.

@ramiroprudencio LOL. Nice straw man argument. You’re saying the reason @McKinsey serves fossil fuels is because that’s where the opportunities are. What a joke! Any accounting of your billable hours shows that the topics being served have turbo-charged the #ClimateEmergency, not lessened it.
Listen to EMN Senior Fellow @EdstromErik share his experiences in the military—including how he helped get his interpreter out of Afghanistan—on Boston Public Radio. @GBH bit.ly/3cbM8Ow
EMN Senior Fellow @EdstromErik on @democracynow says military emissions must be capped and accounted for “so that our leaders and politicians can make informed decisions about which sources [of carbon emissions] they might want to shut down first." bit.ly/3cmWnjv

Disagree @elonmusk. Studies of identical twins show longevity is 80-90% epigenetic, meaning it can be changed by lifestyle, for the same reason a queen bee raised on royal jelly can live 10 times longer than a genetically identical worker 🐝
@paulg Our lifespan is programmed into our genes, just like it is for fruit flies or pets. Fruit are already vegan & even if they do yoga every day & take every supplement, they still only live 50 days.
There are a few times in life when you read a new book and realize that your life will be transformed if you follow its teachings. @PeterAttiaMD’s Outlive is such a book. It can save, or at a minimum massively improve, your life. I can’t imagine a better investment for 28 bucks.

@EdstromErik Thank you for sharing your experience on @CBSSunday . I will read your book and follow you sir.
I've been calling for governments to stop outsourcing intelligence to consultants for some time. Australia paid McKinsey $6m for a report on decarbonisation which ignores consequences of climate change and counts benefits of falling back to slower action. theguardian.com/environment/20…
Let us know if this sounds interesting. You can count on the #AfghanEvac coalition to have the latest, most accurate information. We'll be sharing information on which accounts you can trust and ways to validate information that sounds outrageous.
Next Monday we'll be convening an event to speak directly to current residents of EHC/TWC. We'll be putting out a link soon but please like/RT if you're interested in this (and other events like it).
