I have found my song:
#FossilFuelsAreToxicGarbage
#FossilFuels have to be treated like the 1 time use toxic junk they are and stop pretending they can be cleaned up at the producer side or at the consumer side. They are hazardous at both ends, toxic to exploit and toxic in use.

Alex Pretti's last two sentences, according to a woman next to him as he was killed:
"I'm not even mad at you, dude."
"Are you OK?"
His killer's words:
"Fucking bitch." "Boo hoo."
This is pure evil, and it's wearing ski masks and stalking our streets with drawn guns.

The basic problem here is that fascists do not want to live with you. This all presupposes democratic politics that they do not want to practice. There will be no reciprocity here, and if you act as if there will be if you avoid calling them fascists and venerate their martyrs, you‘ll get crushed.
