Wow.

Fossil fuel companies have been spreading toxic and radioactive fracking waste on farm fields for years.

It's exempted from federal regulation thanks to legislation authored by Lloyd Bentsen. Remember him? Democrats have also been captured by this industry.

This is a big fat non-monetary but very valuable subsidy.

Get off fossil fuels!

"So in terms of building big, cross-partisan coalitions with people who don’t agree with us on everything but are directionally pointed the right way—we could do a lot worse than focusing on crime, health, and waste."

Kudos to Emily Atkin's "Heated", with Tracy Wholf.

HEATED
I'm so used to people not being on Mastodon that I didn't think to include @emorwee aka Emily herself. Tracy, I think, is not here.
