not really new news. The oil companies have put out a ton of propaganda for decades.
New study: oil & gas are major killers

Oil & gas cause 91,000 air pollution deaths per year, 9,100 pre-term birth incidences/y, 216,000 asthma incidences/y, 1600 cancers/y in US

4,800 deaths/y from extracting & processing fuels
86,200 deaths/y from burning fuels

The health burden and racial-ethnic disparities of air pollution from the major oil and gas lifecycle stages in the United States
Largest total population health burden is from O&G end-use, but greatest relative disparities are linked to downstream activities.

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.

With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

Let’s break this down—because the gaslighting is wild:

📌Oct 2022 – Biden signs EO to cut drug prices

📌Jan 2025 – Trump takes office and kills Biden’s EO to cut drug prices

📌May 2025 – Trump signs his own EO to lower drug prices

Trump canceled Biden’s plan then brought it back w/his name on it.

After delaying the case involving Donald Trump’s immunity claim for

*nine months*

Effectively ensuring there could be no criminal trial

John Roberts then authored the opinion that gave Trump free reign to basically do whatever he wants-without ever facing repercussions

Roberts is a disgrace
If only he had an opportunity to say nobody is above the law in a formal opinion “for the ages.”https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/12/chief-justice-roberts-speech-georgetown-00343406
Rule of law is ‘endangered,’ chief justice says
Speaking at Georgetown Law, Chief Justice John Roberts denounced “ad hominem” criticism of the justices.

“Illegal” doing a lot of heavy lifting here as Trump matches towards being a dictator. Trump can’t be allowed to define it contrary to the 1st Amendment & rules regarding private property. But beyond that, it should provoke an uproar. Peace protest is an American value.
