You’ve really got to sit up and pay attention when you hear a warning from Sen. Warner.

The thing is that these shipments of crude oil, LNG & refined fuels are big. There’s a threshold effect. You don’t just get a little bit of a shipment. If you’re outbid you lose the whole lot. So poor countries lose supply.

‘A System Rigged’: Untaxed Wealth of Richest 0.1% Is More Than Assets of World’s Poorest Half | Common Dreams A decade after the Panama Papers, ​the global rich are still hiding more than $3.5 trillion in tax havens. Just a fraction of that money could end extreme hunger and provide clean water to everyone on...

The richest 0.001% now have three times as much wealth as the poorest 50%
Countries finance the government by borrowing from them, which is why they always win against the people.
75 years of American financial colonialism made it illegal for governments to pass laws limiting their financial power.

What Americans Really Pay For Electricity Introducing the Electricity Price Hub, a partnership between Heatmap News and MIT in collaboration with CleanEcon designed to bring much-needed clarity to the conversation around energy affordability.

My energy prices rose over 57% over the last 5 years. As energy prices spike, this resource map is going to be incredibly important to help the public put pressure on to reduce energy costs and build cheap solar and wind.

‘A national scandal’: trawlers scour seabeds of supposedly protected UK waters ‘Precious ocean life is being pushed to the brink’ say campaigners, arguing that overfished marine areas are ‘protected only on paper’

Bottom trawling harvests immense numbers of fish.

It tears up the seabed habitat the next generation of fish + shellfish need, so populations cannot recover quickly.

With cod, herring & mackerel numbers at critical lows, we need to end this destructive practice:

Trump has already spent $15B bombing Iran, asked for another $50B and we are spending far more as pull price shocks push prices up throughout the economy.
The cost of the entire US federal plan to decarbonize the US, which trump and Republicans gutted last year was about $30B per year.

McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…

What if Pretti's murderer wasn't ICE, but some random guy who wanted to shoot someone in public?
We can't tell because ICE cover their faces and refuse to identify themselves.
This is a feature, not a bug, meant to encourage random militia thugs to get the picture and start doing this everywhere.

I don’t see too many people talking about what an incredible accomplishment it was for MN officials and lawyers to get those affidavits and that motion written and filed and to get a Trump appointed judge to issue a TRO against the feds to stop them from destroying evidence - all in the same day.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

“An Abomination”: Yanis Varoufakis on Trump’s “Board of Peace” & Threat to Democratic World Order We speak to Greek economist Yanis Varoufakis about the United States under Donald Trump and its attempts to reshape the post-World War II international consensus. “Trump has all his work done for him ...

"Trump has all his work done for him by placid European centrists who went along with the policy of trashing international law."

Videos Show Moments in Which Agents Killed a Man in Minneapolis

Interestingly, the text narrative of the video is just as important as the video itself, because so many will twist it into propaganda.
The man was clearly not a threat when they murdered him.

Gangsters of Capitalism — Jonathan Myerson Katz

The only critical opening is in the 5th last paragraph, which blithely surfaces the idea that Chevron would be forced to take over the government. Like the Banana Republics created for and run by American capitalists. 3/3

It frames the issue ultimately as whether it will bring down oil for Americans: a tacit endorsement of the idea that everything is justified in the service of American consumption. 2/3
