Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sound up! 🔥🔊

my most woke opinion is that any truck/SUV over 4,000 pounds should require a commercial drivers license, increased insurance/registration, more expensive parking, and higher punishments for traffic violations
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Headlines purposely misleading.

EV sales continue to grow globally.

ICE sales are down by approx. 25%from their peak in 2017, and show no signs of recovering.

It is exceedingly likely that 2017 will be the high-water mark of gas-powered cars ever sold on this planet.

EV sales *still* have not fallen, cooled, slowed or slumped. Media is lying to you.
After two years of headlines begging for failure, EV sales keep defying false media narratives that they are dropping, and continue to rise.

Madagascar, an island nation east of continental Africa, is the only place on Earth where lemurs exist. There are more than 100 lemur species, and nearly all of them are at risk of extinction, including the sifaka. Their foe: Deforestation.
The world’s lemurs are going extinct. This is the only way to save them.
To protect Madagascar’s iconic animals, wildlife groups need to think beyond wildlife.

All of the oil companies are pushing the idea that the world will be using a lot more oil for decades. They have to. If they told the truth no one would invest in their companies any more.

However, the idea that relying on oil provides a country "energy security" is a weak argument in 2025.
