Regarding US-Israel Relations. It's long overdue for voters in the USA to rid American politics of Israeli influence and money.

Absurd, ridiculous - if she were talking about Biden or Obama not Netanyahu this wouldn’t have happened. Land of the Free? Not so much.

AIPAC says I’m not Team America. Why? Because I want to spend the $400b to make college & trade schools free and childcare $10 day. Not on the Trump/Netanyahu alliance for an illegal, immoral war in Iran.

Why are the political parties that are most vocal about free markets and cheap energy now turning against the cheapest form of power production?

Obviously because #WindPower is seriously harming the profits of the legacy energy industry.

All federal wind power R&D at the Department of Energy is $0.137 billion. So the government is paying 7x the amount it spends on all wind power R&D just for a fee to kill one wind project. Seems bad.

You're spoilt for choice, it's like choosing between an array of shxt sandwiches. SCOTUS doesn't work for democracy the way it's set up and (not) regulated, it needs a complete overhaul. Justices shouldn't be appointed by Pres, that's too political, perhaps a rotation from lower courts with limits.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

You know who else is convinced? Me. Well, not "convinced," but *highly* skeptical of the official story.

I think it's possible this will turn out to be the scandal of the century (even though many other Trump scandals *should* be that already).

Let’s Finally Do Something About the Bulldozer That Killed My Daughter Bernie Sanders is trying to end the shipment of US bulldozers to Israel—like the one that crushed my daughter, Rachel Corrie, to death 23 years ago.

In 2003, US citizen Rachel Corrie was killed by Israeli soldiers using a US-provided bulldozer.

Her parents are calling on senators to vote yes today to block $295 million worth of these bulldozers to Israel. Join them by calling your senators TODAY:

Senate votes 50-49 to overturn mining ban near Boundary Waters The vote clears the path for Twin Metals to reapply to open an underground copper mine near Ely, just outside the wilderness area. Conservation groups argue mining in the region poses an unacceptable ...

The Boundary Waters is sacred land. But not to MAGAGOP. And it's not even an American mining company going to destroy our mother earth.

That was within their own country, I said they aren't warmongering internationally. Horrific though, agreed, but Mossad agents were involved in the killings. Mossad’s director told senior Israeli and US officials that his agents in Iran could overthrow the government from within.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked my War Powers Resolution that would have ended Trump's unnecessary, unjustified war against Iran.

These cowards have had four chances to stop this chaos in the Middle East.

And they put Trump's ego before America.

Every damn time.

Denmark ran their entire country on renewables for all of March, just Wind and Solar.

If the UK can't manage full renewables by the end of this parliament, it will be a catastrophic failure caused entirely by corruption.

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.

This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.

Never doubt your power to change the system.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

Meanwhile, the typical American will pay a federal income tax rate of 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.
