Periodic reminder:
If you use less gas for transportation, you help drop the value of a barrel of oil, which makes the people looking to profit off of stealing from Venezuelans, lose money.

Take the bus/train/bike/scooter, buy an EV, don't use gas.

Which makes invading Venezuela a much less profitable endeavor.
Venezuela either has "The most oil in the world!" Or "Not that much oil really," depending on what the price of oil is.

Oil is currently near a 4 year low.

True. It's complicated.
"How much oil does Venezuela have? And is it high or low quality?" are questions whose answer changes greatly depending on what the global price of oil is. 🤷🏿♂️

Not being a St. Paulianian, I didn’t really have Melvin pegged as a skyway tear-down guy, though it’s all academic now. But I suppose I should’ve guessed from his perfect articulation of why cities need multimodal (aside from the environment, car lanes don’t have the throughput for a growing city).

I’ve been to two separate 🎄Christmas🎄theater performances in Minnesota in the last two days, and both of them incorporated anti-ICE messages. In Minnesota, we know that de-icing can take many forms.
Today, with the windchill struggling to reach 0°F at times, thousands marched down Lake Street in South Minneapolis protesting the actions of ICE.
“ICE Out of Minnesota!”
"MINNESOTANS KNOW ICE IS SLIPPERY AND DANGEROUS - IT'S TIME TO DE-ICE!"
"Immigrants are not the problem"

Casten is the single most informed federal elected official on the energy system. If he said this about something I penned on energy I would die of shame. Unfortunately, the neighborhood troll has none.
This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Jon Collins is really providing top-notch coverage lately. My favorite detail: the ICE dude who got pepper sprayed by the other ICE dude.
Hennepin County dispatch got a panicked call from a Department of Homeland Security supervisor in Minneapolis requesting assistance because “we only have a few officers but we have 60-70 agitators fighting them.” Hennepin deputies didn’t witness any attacks on agents.

“What I’ve been feeling most is just, like, how dare this country allow this to happen to someone like me twice?” Weissman told the New York Times.
"Weissman was in her dorm room at Brown when a friend called to warn her that a shooting was under way. Her initial feelings of panic soon turned to anger, she told NBC. “I’m angry that I thought I’d never have to deal with this again, and here I am eight years later,” Weissman told NBC News."

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.
Praying for his full & speedy recovery.
And so deeply inspired by his example.

My optician asked me my last name and birthday. After I answered, he exclaimed, “That’s my wife’s birthday!” And I felt immediately more at ease alone in a room with him. Maybe he says this to every woman who comes in? If so, it’s genius.

I saw an ICE raid today in Cedar-Riverside. The man they took said repeatedly he was a U.S. Citizen and had ID. They put him in a car they sped off at an unsafe speed. Not that I expected much, but I called 911 and reported their behavior. The dispatcher asked "what I wanted them to do about it."
