I believe in the saying, "We all do better when we all do better."
NOTHING ELSE WILL SUFFICE.
May the forces of Democracy beat the forces of fascism. Who wants the greedy, grifting, billionaires to be the ones surviving underground in a climate too hot for anything to survive on the surface? 👇

Adm Bradley was/is screwed.
If he gave the illegal order, he's screwed. If he complied with the order, he's screwed. If he defied the order, he'd have been court martialed, knowing GOP led Congress would let him hang.
If Congress does nothing the rest of the military knows they'll need to comply.

"This practice of socializing costs & privatizing profits must end."
Across the country, electricity costs are rising with no sign of slowing down.
One of the main culprits: data centers.
As big tech continues to build data centers around the country, the electricity demands are spiking our rates.
