"Joe Biden did something remarkable, and almost without precedent – he actually said no to big oil.

… you can tell what a big deal it is because of the howls of rage coming from the petroleum industry and its gaggle of politicians. …

To give you an idea, politicians beholden to the industry are using this week and next to hold hearings about natural gas in Congress."

🇩🇪Zensursulas EU-Kommission ist nach meiner Erfahrung industrie- und regierungshörig. Dass die Einflussnahme aber so offen bezahlt wird, überrascht. https://www.lobbycontrol.de/pressemitteilung/bezahlte-flugreisen-zu-grosse-naehe-zwischen-eu-wettbewerbshuetern-und-beratungsfirmen-113215/

Einziges Gegenmittel für uns #Piraten: Echte #Transparenz, #Lobbying eindämmen und EU-weite Volksentscheide zum Gegensteuern!

Kyrsten Sinema is being called a non-viable candidate after her fundraising took a dive

No

Kyrsten Sinema is a non-viable candidate for:

Never holding a town hall

Skipping votes to fundraise

Giving a literal thumbs-down to a federal minimum wage
…after publicly stating min. wage was a “no-brainer”

Refusing filibuster reform

We need a mechanism to remove federal officials

Call it the Sinema TITS it GTFO Out Reform Act or something. You can decide what TITS stands for.

BREAKING 🔥 Scientists from @ScientistRebellion and artists from @ExtinctionR and "Forfattere Ser Grønt" are occupying the biggest industrial #farming #lobby in #Denmark (Landbrug og Fødevarer) to demand an end to #lobbyism in food production, and an immediate transition away from the destructive, #colonial and undemocratic farming practices that prevail in Denmark, and which are responsible for ~30% of the country's #CO2 #emissions. #TheScienceIsClear #BefriJorden (1/n)
