The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

Lots going on right now, but this is worth repeating: the planet will keep heating up and the climate will keep breaking down until we phase out fossil fuels.

Look at what we are doing partly, if not largely, because of oil. So you’ll forgive me if I think the demand we support oil and gas is not only patently absurd but deeply morally offensive.
