highways are essential! we can't have protesters shutting down highways, that's terrible optics and hurts support for the cause! also, the government says burn more oil! drill, baby, drill! stop EV subsidies, and all hail gas-powered cars!

@Andres4NY - When I advocate for bikes, it's a #WARONCARS but when Trump, Vance, and Kegsbreath actually shell a highway, they get a pass.

@jym I keep saying he's accidentally the eco-president. Driving our economy into a cliff, destroying car manufacturing with tariffs, and now shelling highways.

(more shelling of highways, please? especially when Vance is on those highway?)
