Ok, real talk. I was a fan of Beto O’Rourke, swooned over his speeches, until learning: 1. He is the #2 recipient of oil/gas industry campaign cash in the entire Congress 2. His actual voting record, which boosted the fossil fuel industry and Trump’s immigration policy
Fossil fuel money = blood money, and accepting it is morally reprehensible. This is an industry hell bent on stealing our best possible futures. Climate change is an urgent, existential crisis. @davidsirota has the contribution data: https://twitter.com/davidsirota/status/1069264575202189313 …

That Beto is only behind Ted fucking Cruz (!!) as top recipient of oil/gas industry contributions should give everyone pause.
