I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.
Both straits closed was the Pentagon's worst case. It lived in PowerPoint. Hormuz went in March, Bab el-Mandeb in July, Perim Island this week. Oil above $100. Six months, one 'stable genius' administration.
The president has NO authority to make lists of voters & tell the Postal Service who gets a ballot
That power belongs to Congress & to the states, which have passed no such law. @campaignlegal.org & @democracydefendersfund.org are in court to put and end to these shenanigans

My dad was a public school teacher; and he always said the toughest parts of the job were:
1. Having to pay for your own classroom chalk, and
2. Performing gender-reassignment surgeries during class hours w/out parents finding out.
This is so bizarre. A politician telling you her vision for America is that you’ll have to work when you’re sick and die young, orphaning your kids. Please vote for @drannieandrews.com
these people booing sound like literal sheep as Darline Graham criticizes Dr. Annie Andrews for supporting "government-run healthcare" before bragging of her parents that "if they were sick, they had to get up and go to work...my mother passed away when I was 11 and my father just over a year later"
What a concept is right. IMHO, it's time for the old guards to retire. The polite and courteous old school politics are a thing of the past. Bringing strongly worded letters/statements to a gunfight clearly accomplishes nothing.🙄

The people of the original 13 states of the USA were fearful of a hateful demagogue rising one day to rule over them.
They invented a Congress and Judiciary to check gross overreach of a tyrannical criminal Executive.
In cowardice and self-interest, both have abandoned that sacred role.

BREAKING: Everton Blair Jr. wins runoff for Georgia’s 13th Congressional District, meaning he will be the first Black openly gay Congressman from the South.
Congrats to Everton Blair Jr. on his victory.
Fourteen years ago, HBO's 'The Newsroom' laid out the truth about voter ID in this segment.
It’s striking how little the arguments — or the tactics — have changed. Still a solution in search of a problem.
History doesn’t repeat itself — it gets rerun.
I remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs.
We lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives.
Now, two unvaccinated people have died from measles.
What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.
Going to Point Loma Nazarene and Liberty Universities probably played a role in how weird Natalia Harp is around men.
Men & women can’t have “unsupervised private lingerings,” premarital sex, PDA, or make out.
She was practically *groomed* to have dysfunctional relationships with men.
And while the Trump regime punishes Canada, our ally on 9/11, it lavishes favors (military, financial, and diplomatic) on Saudi Arabia, the country that gave us most of the 9/11 terrorists. What a messed up administration.
21 days before the 25th anniversary of September 11th, the United States imposes 50% tariffs on the country that gave its citizens refuge during the worst terrorist attack in US history.
Denmark 🇩🇰 says it prefers “democracy with social responsibility” to “Democratic Socialism” — describing “redistributing a significant share of income” (taxing the rich) “to build a strong social safety net”

One America, where people are smart enough to know you don't form plurals with apostrophes.
Another America, where people are stupid enough to use apostrophes to form plurals.
BAD: GOP Sen Jim Banks lying about @abdulelsayed.bsky.social’s positions, falsely claiming that El-Sayed called for open borders and abolishing prisons.
WORSE: @kristenwelker.bsky.social letting Banks’ lies go uncorrected.
I was able to fact check on Google in 2 min.
WHERE ARE HER PRODUCERS?
The problem for all the people trying to fearmonger about @abdulelsayed.bsky.social is @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social exists.
Y’all tried it with him too, and now NYC loves him and he’s delivering — Which is what you were really afraid of.
One America, where the man on the left is so ignorant he had to pay someone else to take the SAT for him.
Another America, where the man on the right is a Rhodes Scholar.
El-Sayed: "Imagine if instead of paying that to your health insurance company, whose CEO makes $20m a year, you paid a little bit more in taxes for healthcare you wouldn't lose. I think all of us would a lot more interested in that system if we knew our healthcare would be free at point of care"
