TIL that as the CO river dries up, AZ is leasing its largest underground aquifer to the Saudis, who are growing water-intensive alfalfa, which is then shipped back to S.A. to feed cattle. Market rate for the lease is $5 million/yr. Saudis pay $86K.

You oppose Summer Lee because she's supports equality and justice. Your organization exists to deny Palestinians basic human rights -- no matter the consequences.
You checked your support for American democracy at the door when you endorsed 109 pro-coup Republicans.
Quote Tweet
We oppose Summer Lee because of her dangerous views of the US-Israel alliance.
AIPAC and our 2 million grassroots members proudly support progressive candidates - including 148 Democrats this cycle - who don’t check their values at the door when it comes to standing with Israel. twitter.com/berniesanders/…

The CEO of PPG, a Fortune 500 paint company, was asked if he would lower prices if costs come down. His response:
“This is the new price and if you don't like it, please don't place purchase orders.”
Corporations are using inflation as cover to price gouge the people.

AIPAC has dropped over $1M in less than 48 hours against , the Democratic nominee in #PA12.
Yet not a single Democratic Party leader has condemned AIPACs most recent spending for her GOP opponent, despite claiming to fight for a Dem majority.
Quote Tweet
With 1 week left until Election Day, AIPAC has upped their spending to over $1 million to help elect my extreme Republican opponent.
This is the same Super PAC that attacked me during the primary for not being "sufficiently Democrat."
Now they're trying to elect the Republican. twitter.com/JeremyBenAmi/s…

Whoa... AIPAC's Super PAC is spending against Democrat Summer Lee in PA-12. This looks like the group's first spending in any D vs. R election, and comes as there's some concern over Lee's race because her GOP opponent has the same name as the outgoing Democratic member. twitter.com/CATargetAlt/st…

Notice how Republicans are frothing at the mouth to abolish the few enforcement mechanisms that target large-scale tax evasion and neo-Nazi groups.
In one of his earlier acts, Trump also defunded operations countering right-wing violent extremist groups.

Reminder: This is who the Republican Party elects + elevates to positions of power. This is how they act in the halls of Congress, and this the example they set for acolytes to follow.
These people want media to “both sides” fascism. Don’t fall for it. ⬇️

Last year, a GOP Congressman shared a depiction of himself killing me. When the House rose to censure, defended him.
Yesterday, a man sharing that member’s rhetoric tried to assassinate the Speaker and her spouse.
What has said? Nothing. This is who he is.

That's a huge cop-out. The fact is, shootings in NYC have been basically flat for 2 years, but mentions of shootings in local news spiked from 100/mo in Jan 2021 to over 800/mo now.
You cannot look at this chart and tell me that didn't influence public perception of safety.

Hopefully my last post on this, to all the people saying a reporter's job is to put this in context w data, the data is ... not great. Crime really is up in NY! Hopefully it continues its drop this year but it's still well above where it was pre-pandemic!

This is the future the Republicans want. It’s the future they’ve literally been calling for on television. This is why they are so excited about the new overlord of Twitter. This, the violence, has always been their endgame.
And if they win they will only get worse.

Or maybe a billionaire-fueled propaganda channel that regularly generates high volumes of death threats to elected officials while pumping propaganda for an extreme right-wing that openly embraces fascism is what’s creating “the environment where it happened”
