Since this post got some interest, I wanted to point out that I found a blog that discusses why heating oil is used so much in the northeast USA. Apparently it is a consequence of price controls and restrictions on natural gas usage in the 1970s-80s: energyathaas.wordpress.com/2021/11/01/t...
Heating fuels in the USA. Bizarrely, liberal states in the NE USA prefer the most polluting choice, fuel oil, which also emits the most carbon dioxide.

Impeachment would be a start.
I want trump, his family, his f*cking son in law, his cabinet, Musk, & ALL members of both Houses who have been complicit prosecuted to the FULLEST extent of the law.
Then flip them into the Hague for crimes against humanity.
That didn't bode well for the last Nazis

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.
The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.
No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Ask yourself this: How would the New York Times have covered the protests if it had been seven million MAGA supporters flooding the streets? We don’t even have to guess: We know how they and other mainstream outlets covered the Tea Party protests during Obama’s first term.

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)
