Trump says he will force Venezuela to hand over millions of barrels of sanctioned oil, which the U.S. will sell off under his control.
Hello? This is naked extortion of a sovereign country. It’s far past time for Congress to grow a spine and rein in our tinpot dictator.

It’s now been 6 months since I got an EV and I am still in love with how it drives. But I also thoroughly get a kick of being able to charge fully at home.
Truly a shame that one piece of tech we have that can do a net-good, our corporate and political leaders want to bury it.

The cheapest way for America to access Greenland's mineral resources is to buy them. Greenland is happy to do business with its allies.
Trump thinks it will be less expensive to deploy the American military to the Arctic to steal what he wants.
Trump doesn't understand how business works.

"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit.
If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.

The United States is behaving like a rogue state. The President has carried out an illegal act of war, kidnapped a foreign head of state, and is now threatening military action against NATO allies. This is a constitutional crisis.
Impeachment must be on the table.

5 years ago, there was a bloody, lawless, and deadly attack on our nation’s Capitol. A group of criminal thugs broke out in riots and stormed our Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election at the direction of the President of the United States.

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet.
Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.

WA does NOT have a shortage of gas. It DOES have conflicted, complicit ex and current politicians and business folk. Watch and learn. Fight back.
We’re already in a climate emergency. We don’t need our gas being shipped offshore. We DO need more renewable energy…

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.
It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

My thoughts today are with the security people and police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 and have been treated with such distain since by the GOP. For them and the Democratic leadership who lived through such chaos and no doubt continue to carry the scars within. We will not forget.
