@sanders.senate.gov on the opportunity cost of war: "All over this country, people are sleeping out on the street, can't afford housing, can't afford healthcare. We are the richest country in the history of the world... We need to provide a decent standard of living for every man, woman and child."

Part of my disgust and disdain for so many people in this country is that that they are so easily duped. All that fuck has to do is call some egregious bill the โ€œSAVE AMERICAโ€ act and the stupids rush to vote against their own interests, while accusing us of not wanting to โ€œsave Americaโ€.

Some community organizations that work with newcomers want Montreal to be declared a sanctuary city. Itโ€™s a move that was attempted by a former mayor and advocates say it would allow undocumented migrants to obtain services without fear of deportation. #Montreal #Canada

I was a big fan of 60 minutes but I no longer watch and imagine that the great journalists that worked there would be appalled by what itโ€™s become.

After bombing water salination plant and oil refineries in Iran, causing black rain, it looks like Netanyahu is aiming for another genocide.

Keep asking the questions and sharing the pictures. However long the Iran war goes on and whatever happens, this was a war crime and Trump or Hegseth should go to jail.

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.

This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.

44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...

"How will you pay for it?"

The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...

"How much do you need?"

It doesn't have to be this way.
