Perhaps everyone should watch Reiner's Shock and Awe film to 1) to watch Rob Reiner's great work and 2) remind us how we can be conned into accepting the "need" to go to war.
No one should be told to fight an unnecessary war... for the fossil fuel industry or anyone else. Always learn truth.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Grid bottlenecks aren’t a failure of the energy transition — they’re proof it’s working.
Renewables got cheap fast, and now the grid has to catch up. Time to build the wires for the clean energy system we already have.

The "fog" making Americans think they're doing good deeds to combat cocaine coming into US from Venezuela. First: he's after the OIL$$ The rest is a smoke/fog screen. Fossil fuels are harming the planet, killing people. he/they just want to make $$$ & care nothing about who it harms or kills.
Koh: This is not about justice. This is about power. This is about a Secretary of Defense so drunk off alpha male bullshit that he's willing to take lives to get off on that power.

“I think” is how a system run by a king or a dictator works. Here, we have a rule of law that says no one, and that includes the government, can murder people on a whim because it “thinks” they’re up to no good.

Each month, the Charlottesville Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee hosts and leads a walk through a different neighborhood in the city. For November the walk was in the Venable neighborhood. I took some photos of the group as well as some stuff we saw along the way.

Latinas in the U.S. are using twin braids with colorful ribbons as a symbol of resistance against immigration raids.
This traditional hairstyle, rooted in Mexican culture, represents resilience and identity.

There were 12 apostles, not 12 disciples. There were 72 disciples, according to Luke. I love when these “Christians” show they never actually read the damned Bible.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.
