Is the TL;DR on the Politico piece that decades of building a toxic culture in the #GOP has led to Nazis in Congress, Nazis in masks beating & killing people in the street,& a whole bunch of whiny little Nazi Young Republicans who think racism & fascism are terribly clever & fun?

When they can find them under the 65,000 bodies of women, children and non-combatants slaughtered by the IDF with the approval of the majority of Israeli people. You see when you turn Palestinian homes into a graveyard it can be hard to locate anyone's loved ones.

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

Trump would do well to contemplate S. Korea’s jailed ex-president Yoon who was quickly ousted by The People’s wrath when he declared martial law.

Yoon faces life in prison—if he doesn’t get the death penalty.

This isn’t history. These events took place only months ago.

An honor to receive the endorsement of
of nearly a dozen Black clergy leaders in Crown Heights today, including Bishop Orlando Findlayter.

I’m grateful for their support, and this powerful and humbling prayer.

The General Assembly plans to come back next week to shamelessly and unfairly redraw Congressional maps. Here’s what they should be doing instead:

Passing state budget
Fully funding Medicaid
Increasing law enforcement pay
Giving teachers a pay raise

"They know that in a functioning one-person-one-vote democracy, they could never pass the unpopular self-enriching policies they want. So they know they must focus on preserving and expanding the precedents that permit them to buy American democracy."

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

"The first-of-its-kind study shows that the world’s biggest oil and gas companies contribute less than 1.5% to global renewable energy — contradicting industry claims to be pioneers in the energy transition."

Study: Oil companies are not ‘part of the solution’

New research in the journal Nature reveals oil and gas companies own a “marginal” share of global renewable capacity, years after claiming they would lead the energy transition.
