  1. Set up most of Texas as useless sprawl forcing car usage
  2. Make sure public transport is non existent
  3. Make regulations a joke because freedom
  4. Go big on big oil
  5. Make your car’s AC more reliable than the grid
  6. Tell people not to use their cars because—oops—pollution

Texas: the one star state.

Today is the 100 year anniversary that the US Govt enacted the Immigration Act of 1924—banning all immigration from Asia, while allowing effectively open borders for white European migrants.

Make no mistake. The current anti-immigrant movement is inspired by the same white supremacist policies. Allowing them to be successful will set our nation back generations.

DOD reports 0 of 569 metric tons of aid has reached starving Palestinians

US officials confirm it’s not being blocked by Hamas. But we know Israeli settlers are blocking the aid.

When Yemenis blocked ships to prevent genocide they were bombed . When Israelis block aid to enable famine they’re ignored.

The white supremacy in our foreign policy is deadly.
