On Jan 27, we honor the millions of victims of Nazism. #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay promotes Holocaust education, inadequate in the U.S. Many Holocaust survivors recorded their accounts so that Nazi atrocities are never diminished or forgotten. #IHRD encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...

Recently, Minority Leader Jeffries aptly used the phrase, "DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE to human life," in reference to the atrocious activities of DHS/ICE. The current U.S. regime, in all its guises, has demonstrated to the World an UTTER DISREGARD for the value of human life. #UnAmerican #Inhuman

A cautionary tale from the U.S. on #HeritageTreasuresDay. Treasures of great historical value, e.g., The White House, belong to posterity. It's vital to preserve national treasures, preventing the power mad from causing devastation based on their own egomania & vindictiveness. #HeritageTreasures

Playbook of the current U.S. regime: Control all mainstream media. Sow false flags and conspiracy theories in social media. Lie about everything, both small and large, in order to oppress/control the many and further enrich a cabal of plutocrats. #ReclaimDemocracy #ResistPoliticalRepression

Seems an appropriate time for us to get off the fence about hybrid or battery EVs. (Almost half of oil production is for cars, SUVs, and light trucks.) Every individual plays such a small part, but, collectively, our actions (esp. purchasing decisions) have a huge impact. #Chevron #Venezuela #Resist
Chevron donated to Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration fund. Chevron’s CEO publicly praised trump’s energy agenda. Chevron donations: 94% Republican, 6% Democrat.

Chevron is the ONLY foreign oil company allowed to operate in Venezuela.

Follow the money.
Chevron Is in Prime Position to Help Unlock Venezuela’s Vast Oil Reserves
The South American country says its proved oil reserves top 300 billion barrels which, if true, would make its bounty the world’s largest.

I would have enjoyed seeing how befittingly Harris-Walz guided the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. Now, I dread what degradation the new U.S. administration will subject us to as they commandeer this important celebration #america250 america250.org
