Thank Obama, Biden & HRC for the fracking boom that drove a fatal nail in the Earth's climate…"In 2010, the U.S. EIA projected that in 2019, the U.S. would be producing about six million barrels of oil a day. The reality? We're now producing 12 million barrels of oil a day." https://t.co/RMKAGwZGe4

Did you know that 70% of the topsoil in North America has been washed into the sea by batshit farming techniques dreamed up by dipshits?
It's almost gone.
We have maybe 30 harvests left, on the outside.
Not even a campaign issue is it.

I pay almost $1000 a month to student loans and I know plenty of people that pay more than me. Imagine that money actually going back into the economy. https://t.co/Ql7rqCI6wP

from notes for a 1974 draft of THE STAR WARS: "The empire is like America ten years from now, after gangsters assassinated the Emperor and were elevated to power in a rigged election … We are at a turning point: fascism or revolution.”

It is impossible to overstate Haiti's role in the liberation of not just the Caribbean, but also the rest of Latin America. We are also the catalyst for the existence of Venezuela, Ecuador, and Columbia, so much so that the red, blue, and gold on their flags are taken from ours.

It essentially tripled the size of the United States and made the US what it is today. Without Haiti’s fight for independence, the US would look much different. https://t.co/MSjAMTJUMa

Living in a city: totally communal from the get-go. The question is HOW we should live & choose to engage.
We live in houses, fictions, live in ideas. Houses as cyberspace.
Remember the #Dakota38, hanged in Mankato, MN on Dec 26, 1862, under the orders of President Abraham Lincoln. It is the largest mass execution in U.S. history.

The United States eventually dropped the equivalent of a bomber full of bombs on Laos, every eight minutes, every day for nine years. By 1975, one-tenth of Laos’s population (some 200,000 people) had died in the bombing, while twice as many had been wounded. https://t.co/H2bfa2y043

I sold my first novel the day before my 40th birthday.
Norman Maclean published his debut novel A River Runs Through It when he was 74. His second novel? He was 90.
The youngest writer to win a fiction Hugo was 23.

Geographically isolated so no one was going to invade us.
Dominated our continent & area. We would forget when we lost wars.
I wish I had a fraction of the confidence in myself that americans have in their military, which hasn't actually won a war in like 5 fucking decades

I've been warning since January 2017. That's why I'm tired with folks acting surprised that we've arrived at the "worst case scenario" with Trump. That's like leaving cancer untreated and being surprised when it spreads. https://t.co/O6mId9rrGj
