By slashing oil production during an international energy crisis, Saudi Arabia is aiding Russia's war on Ukraine and adding to pain at the pump.
Continued U.S. dependence on Saudi Arabia is a threat to our national security.
And our dependence on oil is a threat to our planet.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
Pharma buys off Congress. No action on drug prices.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
The moment to stop Uvalde was right after Sandy Hook. After Santa Fe High. After El Paso.
Instead, Abbott made it easier to carry guns in public.
The moment to stop the next slaughter is right now.
The idea that an 18-year-old can walk into a store and buy assault weapons is just wrong.
What in God’s name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone?
The idea that seatbelts don't work because you can die in a car accident is insane. And yet Fox is telling its viewers the equivalent about vaccines every night even as unvaccinated people continue to die by the thousands. A public health catastrophe.

Changes we are seeing now. We have a really good idea on why this change is happening, but no matter the reason. What are we doing in cities/towns/states where the infrastructure was built in the years on the left or earlier in this chart? Now that the right is happening #climate
GOP Platform for ‘22:
1) Bounties on abortions
2) Harass and disenfranchise Dem voters
3) Fire educators who teach kids about racism

5) Threaten businesses that comply with a domestic terrorism investigation
(That’s just this week!)
Dabo on getting vaccinated: “It’s like knowing it’s freezing cold outside. You go out dressed properly. You might still get cold but you did everything you could to mitigate it.”
Wear a mask. Get a shot. Might need a booster. Grave sacrifices to personal freedom? Really??? It’s not as if we’re asking you to storm the beaches at Normandy. It's the bare minimum to help save your life and maybe the lives of others - including children. Smdh.
We will not sit by as Governors try to block or intimidate educators protecting kids against COVID-19.
This isn’t about politics. This is about keeping our kids safe and taking on this virus together.
In McCarthy’s GOP, you’re still in good standing if you:
Fundraise with white nationalists.
Promote dangerous conspiracy theories.
But if you dare participate in an investigation into a deadly insurrection? You’re finished.
A cult of lies, with loyalty to Trump over all else.
This is an under-acknowledged feature of Trump-era right wing politics. Anyone who becomes publicly associated with opposition to his movement faces immediate, serious security concerns. It’s widespread.
Watching McConnell’s harsh indictment of Donald Trump for his lies and incitement, for his lack of remorse and dereliction of duty,
I couldn’t help but think of how much McConnell indicts himself for an even greater dereliction of duty:
Failing to hold Trump accountable.
