Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.

The war on Iran exposed a brutal truth: when fossil fuel supply chains break, people pay more for essentials while oil, gas and petrochemical giants cash in. It’s time to end fossil fuel dependence and turn off the plastic tap with a strong Global #PlasticsTreaty.

Dear M@GA, this is your hero, your god, your “president.” An olde, worthless, smelly piece of shit who didn’t care about 9/11 then and doesn’t care now. This is really who you look up to as a leader? He’s trash.

Reporter: “On the cheques, the U.S. has $40 trillion in debt. If your economic policies are working, why do you need an incentive for people to turn out to vote?” Trump: “I’m doing it as a reward for people having to put up with five years of a horrible situation caused by Biden.” 1/

ICE has STOLEN an Indigenous Tribal ELDER from NM, who was on her way to CHEMO. She stopped for gas, ICE then approached her, she showed all of her proper, legal documentation. They still stole her away. They're denying her of life saving CHEMO. When will it be enough. #ShedShed #ViVaHerAlliance

This post is mainly for white folks to consider. I want to share something that may help you understand the reaction from Black folks who immediately looked at the Nolan Wells story and thought, “Something is foul here.” This isn’t proof that foul play occurred. It’s context. 🧵
