RUBIO: Maduro was indicted. Nobody ever did anything about it.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Hernandez was convicted by a jury
RUBIO: The pardon authority is something I'm not involved in
STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you support it?
RUBIO: I wasn't involved in those deliberations. I haven't looked at the case file.

It's also happening at a time when sea level is rising faster than previously assumed and climate crises are accelerating, because we have REFUSED to take advantages of alternatives to oil.

Please do not lost sight of the fundamentals here. Now we are claiming that other country's resources are actually ours. We own them. It's not new, of course; Iraq is but one of many examples. But we just invaded a country and deposed its leader to TAKE ITS OIL.
THIS WAS AN ACT OF WAR AND A VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW.
But put that aside for a second…
What’s wild is that Marco Rubio isn’t even pretending anymore. He’s not hiding that the invasion of Venezuela is about oil.
This is going to end up a dumpster fire…

40 people died last night in this coup. They were not “our troops,” but they were demonstrably in “harm’s way.”
Donald Trump’s unconstitutional military action in Venezuela is putting our troops in harm's way with no long-term strategy.
The American people deserve a President focused on making their lives more affordable.

Oil wars are a natural outcome of NIMBYism & car culture.
If you don't like oil wars, first thing to do is, live that way if you can. If you can't: at least help make it easier for more people to live without oil wars.
But as long as NIMBYs and carbrains control our cities, there will be oil wars.

The demonization of Somalis is no different than the demonization of Haitians before the election. It's a political attack and has to be actively fought—not through half-measures or expressions of tepid concern but by demanding decency from society and respect for all of humanity.

As gently as I can say it: notice they rarely post on the NPS.
If the merch on your car has meaning to you, and helps raise awareness of threats to public lands, that was your contribution, not theirs.
There is no evidence (to date) that any of their merchandise sales support the National Parks.
