Germans think it was a Nazi salute. Historians think it was a “textbook” Nazi salute. NAZIS think it was a Nazi salute.

NYT: awkward hand gesture?

Justice isn’t coming if we sit around quietly and wait for it to magically happen. We have to talk about it. We have to act on it, work for it.

Bad take. Sorry if that offends you and you have to go vote for a Republican.

Also I think there’s real fear that Trump will turn the power of the US government against its own citizens. Maybe not thinking how their own cowardice makes that even more likely.

Geriatric “leadership” cut off the next gen of leaders at the knees. The right has a massive well-funded pipeline. Democrats eat their young for being too progressive.

Strict, joint and several, retroactive liability. There is a money trail to be followed. The scam of dumping old wells is literally called “the playbook.” Claw back that cash.

It’s infuriating that he thinks we don’t know. It’s outrageous he suggests it to be a nascent threat. Some people have been asking Dems to do more since Citizens United, or much farther back. Instead we have Pelosi trying to disembowel AOC

Better to plant faster growing crops that can be used to replace trees for paper & cardboard. Industrial tree farming is also being sold as a climate offset, which sucks.

The fossil fuel industry itself is “hard to decarbonize.” Maybe the answer isn’t wasting precious time and money chasing a CCS fantasy, but changing our economy to end reliance on HTD materials

What a great opportunity to think about how it’s okay to be wrong sometimes! If you’re going to stop being an ally with people who challenge you, then the allyship wasn’t actually there in the first place.

Stop asking if he’s a rapist or a drunk. They know, and they don’t care. Ask questions that show how little he knows about military, geopolitical threats, leading a large organization, you know, DOING THE JOB. Are they willing to put America in real mortal peril over a culture war?

Loved this series. You won’t be disappointed.

We saw in Colorado, well pads that lost takeaway access were not shut in or plugged - mobile bitcoin mining facilities were brought in to justify continued production.

Hickenlooper drank fracking fluid, this stunt is so 2012.

I was with a group that had gotten a whistleblower about the Deepwater Horizon being badly constructed a year before the blowout. Sucks to be right, actually

I think the “smoking in bars” analogy worked really well. A LOT of complaints upfront, but now we would never consider going back.

I’m so sorry. I hope your loved ones are safe.
